Penance

6/10

basically a Lifetime movie

Rosalie Douglas is devastated by her son's death. The police assumes it to be an accidental drowning with him taking a night dive. Rosalie kicks out her cheating husband Luke. Her daughter Maddie is devolving into drunkenness. Rosalie and Maddie go to a support group where they meet a kindly young man named Jed Cousins.

The plot is basically a Lifetime movie or a sense of Jennifer Lopez in The Boy Next Door. It's that type of story. It's a limited series with a veneer of British masterpiece adjacent. It's fine for what it is. The first section rushes quite a lot. Obviously, they are rushing to get Jed into the show. It may be better if he saves Maddie from an OD. It would be quicker. It also needs an opening with the death. It has three parts so it has the time to lay out the introduction better. I do like the actors but the story is a bit too standard.

Surprisingly very good

This high intense thriller of a drama is very good. It will keep you on the edge of your seat brilliant acting with a good storyline. Be ware it does have strong language and sexual content. I really enjoyed watching the 3 episode drama . Ignore the low rating and negative comments it's a really good drama

Meh

There were a few good parts in the middle, but I ultimately felt like I just wasted my time

Fantastic suspense, brooding and foreboding drama.

Great acting by the cast, especially the younger chatacters. Julie Graham is excellent as the troubled wife and mum. It rips along with an inevitability but it doesn't get in the way of the suspense. Art Malik is also brilliant as the local priest with a protective role over his parishioner friend. If you love a thriller you'll love this.

Watchable but it's not amazing

It starts off okay for a bit But for a series I was expecting lot more thriller, action and jump scares possibly would been better as a movie not a series everything all happened in one go The ending I was very disappointed in the acting was crap and everything made me feel like I was getting all excited for nothing I was starting to get in to the series as it was all coming to an end Was big disappointment right at the end thought was going to be loads better I can honestly say it's not the worst I seen but it definitely isn't something that make me watch it again I thought would be some twist on end or something but wasn't a.

Predictable.

Just too predictable. . I had guessed the outcome after the first 20 minutes of episode one. Decent actors deserved a better script.

The find cast deserved a better script, predictable from the opening scene.

I would not call this a thriller, as it was easy to connect the dots, and be two steps ahead of the plotlines. It was easy to decipher what was going to happen next. If there is such a thing as a formulatic thriller this was it. Every key action point in the 2nd and 3rd episodes were predictable and sometimes tedious. I won't go into detail and run the plotlines here, but every twist and turn is easily to see coming a mile off. Still I gave it 8 stars, the acting is very good, Graham and Morrissey are veteran greats who did their best with the material at hand. Tallulah Greive is very good with a role that could have been meatier as we discover her hand in events occurring before the movie starts. Nico Mirallegro had the part of a menacing thug down pat, but seemed to lack empathy when trying to be a grieving grandson. Great acting hamstrung by a predictable script.

Terrible melodrama with unoriginal ideas. Just awful.

I gave this ten minutes, but by then I wanted to kill everyone, especially the angry mum. As far as I can see this is just melodramatic bilge-water with everyone taking turns to either cry or shout.

Awful

Awful... simply awful!

Predictable storyline... I just wish I'd known earlier as I wouldn't then have bothered with episodes two and three...! No wonder it was on channel 5!

Poor but watchable

Lazy script, some decent acting and a story that conveniently overlooks reality!! Watched this to the end but it wasn't great. Is ok for watching whilst in isolation!!

Cheap harlequin category D movie

The script is bordering on boredom. The priest's presence is a must to add to the morality preaching. The knife scene in the nocturnal woods with a vagabond husband parachuting from cold Scotland. The heroine who stops short of calling police but instead concocts a machiavelian plan to get rid of an intruder. A movie where you are thankful for a single thing: three episodes only of this nightmare

Good acting

I was looking for something that I hadn't seen and with the writers and actors strike on going here in America, that's becoming difficult I saw that Art Malik was in the cast and decided to give it a go!

I have to admit that twenty minutes in it was pretty predictable.and a little boring.

Malik did an excellent job as he always does and with this script he had an uphill climb!

The other actors were no one I recognized but all did a good job with a worn out plot.

I would have a difficult time actually recommending this series but others may like it ! Hope to see more of Malik in future projects but I hope he passes on scripts like this.

It's a no from me, but I had to watch it

When you start watching not so good movies for the actors, where are you heading to? I honestly think that the director and the script where so damn bad. Too bad for Nico Mirallegro and especially Julie Graham, who had such great performances. But being predictable and having such a run out story, everything makes it for a cringey film.

Great Acting. Great Mid-week British Thriller

Really enjoyed this thriller. The two main characters, Julie Graham and Nico Mirallegro, played their characters without fault. They were so believable and it makes a change for a more mature woman to play a strong, starring role. Not sure why I haven't seen Mirallegro in more films as he is a brilliant actor.

Worth a watch.

STUPID MUM

No one has the right to say that father is less grieving than mum, its all hollywood. women seem to be very special when they lost a child and a man is monster who doesnt care about that. god damn that character, she did not support her husband in the hour of need plus she asked him to leave the house. who gives her this right to do that.

Good storyline but casting is complete catastrophe

I couldn't watch this series more than one episode due to complete mess done with casting -it seems to be prevailing practice in British TV drama to cast actors who are completely unsuitable for their roles. Let's take Julie Graham for example. She is far too old to play a mother of 20 years old son & a teenage daughter.

...And then having this young man who looks like 19 max to seduce her, can't see that happening.
