Reckoning

A lifeless thriller/drama centered around the lives of generally unlikable characters. The acting is pretty good, but the characters lack depth, I didn't feel compelled to care about any of them. The storyline is slow and boring, the detective work is nonexistent and its endlessly predictable.

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews about this series. It might not be "True Detectives" but its definitely holding its own. Each episode WILL leave you wanting more, which is a pretty good indicator of good TV in my book. Every time you're SURE you have it figured out, here comes another curve ball. The unknown/unfamiliar cast does a great job. Who doesn't have love for "Black Jack Rackam of Black Sails", "Sam Merlot of True Blood" and "Daniel Holden of Rectify"? Don't let other peoples negative opinions sway you from at least trying this series and forming your OWN opinion.

It's alright, it's not one of those dramas that will have you desperate to see the next episode or reach the conclusion, partly because there isn't much of a mystery, the only true mystery is how on Earth can some of the killer's nearest and dearest be so stupid.

It's interesting enough, I like that we see the killer functioning fairly normally with everyday life, and masking their true nature, but incredulity becomes an issue. We are left with lots of loose ends.

The acting is decent, although it is a bit patchy in parts, nice production values.

It is overlong, they could have made it a little more exciting, and had it in six parts, instead they allowed the middle section to drag, the penultimate and opening episode were the best installments, the finale was very disappointing, it doesn't actually progress at all.

A second series isn't needed, it's a decent watch, 6/10.

Not bad, not great, but it has enough suspense to pass the time!

Why go through the trouble of shooting 10 episodes, full of drama, and go to great lengths to build back stories that we invest in, making us want more and more. After we have committed our precious time you go and then bomb us with the most confusing and anti climatic ending!?!?!?!?
