Collateral

Apart from the bad writing, the amazing acting and cinematography make this show binge-worthy.

it is a solid show, it's not the greatest but is not so bad

I really I don't get them. Yes, the first episode seemed like a lot of characters coming altogether at the same time, actually, that was what I felt, they were all presented at the same time while I got lost on who was who; anyway, should TV always be empty? Or worst, bare? I don't think so.

It's the BBC and by the 2nd episode the serie finally got me interested, I'll give a 7 stars to this pending the 2 upcoming episoded, so far I don't think it deserves anything below (nor beyond) that.

Yes, The Honorauble Woman was a 9, I know the BBC can do better, we all do but I'll give this a chance.

The movie has some serious issues in its core. Now I understand that some may feel like the movie is a bit lacklustre and does not give you the whole picture on some things or goes all the way. It also feels for some that some of the actors may be wasted. But that is up to you to decide, I personally think they are all doing more than a decent job.

It's four parts and it works quite neatly. It tackles subjects that have many sides and blurry lines, because you don't have just black and white. There's a lot of gray areas and a lot of characters who may think they are doing the right thing, but ultimately, what is really a right thing? Who does judge and who can tell? So while it may not go too deep, it still has enough to be worthwhile

I watched this mini series in one sitting, not that it was thrilling or real edge of the seat stuff, but it did draw me in. Plenty of plot twists and turns and I think the BBC managed their full quota of diversity box ticking on this one. Good performances from all the leads and it isn't easy to predict the end. Wanders off with plenty of not really needed backdrop stories almost like a soap script at times but it does all fit together. Worth the watch, quite slow as the story unfolds, for me this isn't a bad thing as I prefer story rather than mindless action. The look at detention centre is quite disturbing, if indeed it is an accurate portrayal, the look at the military sexual harassment was quite disturbing but again, seemingly not needed but understandable why it was included. Not unmissable, but still a very competent thriller.

The pizza supplier, an illegal economic refugee, is shot after a delivery. It looks like a contract killing. Detective Inspector Kip Glaspie investigates.

The case is solved conclusively, but relatively without tension. In the end it wasn't clear to me what purpose all the subplots should have had. The mini-series isn't exciting enough for a thriller. Too superficially treated as a refugee or military drama. Quite ok, but nothing more.
