Who Is Erin Carter?

I had a suspicion this might be dreadful and after the first episode I hadn't been persuaded otherwise. I stuck with it and started to really enjoy it.

Episode four is where it really starts to get going and from there you're already invested.

Now, I'm not normally a huge fan of the running and shooting and jumping off stuff and fighting action films/series, but I do appreciate the effort that goes into them. I've seen Die Hard a couple of times, it was fun.

For me, this series was kind of like that. You need to sit back and enjoy the nonsense.

Clearly, any normal person getting kicked about several times a day would need a bit of recovery time. Did Bruce Willis ever need recovery time? I don't think so! So why would super badass mom, Erin Carter?!

My advice? Chill out, laugh at the ridiculousness, groan at the terrible dialogue, suspend your disbelief pretty much all the way through, and just enjoy it!

Oh, and can I say thank you to whoever decided to have the protagonist run around in sensible shoes and not four inch stilettos all the time? I mean, you want realism? There it is.

Anyway, I hope there's a second series. That's how much I enjoyed it!

The good thing about this mini-series is that there is a lot of action, good fighting scenes, a little suspense and mystery and overall good acting. The bad thing was the sometimes poorly written plot. By that I mean there were some "yeah right, what are the odds they know each other, or it's a very small world" moments. But even with those weak moments the show remained very entertaining. The fighting scenes were pretty brutal and well choreographed. Maybe not everybody's cup of tea but certainly mine. There are only seven episodes so it's one of those binge watching shows that you can easily finish in a couple days.

She's a badass, that's who she is!

I ignored this for a few days because I thought this was another dubbed Netflix series which seems to be flooding the place lately.

I'm glad I gave it a go though, it was good. Erin Carter gets caught up in a Spanish supermarket robbery. After a tussle with one of the perpetrators he recognises her as 'Kate'.

As the title suggests we then see who Erin Carter really is.

There's nothing groundbreaking here, we've seen other series with similar plots but this ran smoothly, was never really boring and kept the audience guessing.

It's seven episodes with a running time of around fifty minutes per episode.

A solid seven out of ten from me.

I saw a few bad reviews that were horribly low! I love Douglas Henshell so I decided to watch! Not bad more like an Acorn or Brittbox series. For Netflix wasn't bad. The storyline was decent compared to most the J@njk put out by Netflix over the last 2 years! This is BBC network etc. Sure it was highly implausible but better than 90% of the stuff o Netflix lately and I'm so sick of having to write 600 character reviews when I've contributed so many over the years! With all the junk out there that seems like it's written by 8th graders this is not terrible and definitely watchable and if it was BBC it would have gotten better reviews!

It is not as bad as I had read in the comments.

Obviously it's not the best series in the history of television, but I don't think it tries to be.

It's true that it has elements that are not very credible, but it's entertaining, and who expects a fictional series to be credible?

It is clarifying little by little the questions that it raises at the beginning and many scripts do that, so I don't think that is a defect, but a very common dramatic resource to maintain the interest.

I've watched it all the way through without any effort, while others with more fame I haven't made it past the second chapter, or the second season.

It's not one of those that makes you sad to see it end, but I think it fulfills its role of entertaining.

And that's why I rate it with a 6/10, because without being good it's not boring.
