I like romcoms. This one even if in the Hallmark genre is quite good. The actors especially Ciara Hanna performed well with smart acting. The cinematography was very well done which separates from other similar movies. The plot is good and though there is no Oscars in play, we'll worth the time to watch.

I'm not sure what the critical reviewers were watching but I cannot agree with any of their comments. The series is suspenseful, not easy to predict hence an enjoyment to watch, and all the points come together in the conclusion except maybe one. First those that expect Marcella to be OK after her last session with the Dr clearly haven't paid any attention to the character or understand squat of the characters state. Every character has a role to play in the series that either gets to the ultimate conclusion or further develops the plot. Only the eventual fate of Alan is somewhat murky at least for now. The last scence even explains the lost of Laura the first DCI for Marcella. Clearly she hasn't been stalked by MI5 as it is quite evident that with a tad of thinking that 'DS Marcella' could not be dead despite DNA as the fire was occurring as she was with Henry when the TV showed the fire. The DNA goes back to the illegal in the subway that Marcella used for a DNA swab in the first series. Now whether people can make the links to how Laura who now runs a special organisation of undercovers determined all of this, well clearly this will all unfold in Series 3...yup they set it up for one. Maybe the Alan issue gets solved there as clearly the series writers know their stuff. For all of those critics who had a hard time with the final show, go back a watch it this time, I mean really watch it. This is not NCIS, Hawaii 50, or any of those other mindless mystey shows. Marcella is quite worth the time to watch and I found it superior to other series such as Luther itself a brilliant show.

It has been quite awhile since I saw this series - 1987 or 1988 when I lived in the USA. It was on PBS MYSTERY and no other TV series has captured my attention - and admiration - as this ten art series did. Thought I had the story all worked out until the last series of course. made me read the second trilogy - Hook, Line and Sinker (there are place names to it as well but I forget them. I here Mr D bought the copyright to the all the films - pity. Never seen a better mystery since. Sir Ian was a wonderfully confused Bernard and the various other characters from his wife, his girlfriend, Silas, whomever were all played out exceptionally well. Locations - or so it appeared were bang-on as well. The Smiley series is great (the Sir Alec for sure), this ranks just as good at a minimum.
