One of Us

This is a totally mesmerizing series. There is almost a subplot for every character all of which interweave to reveal the bigger mystery.

Each character has realistic and sometimes horrible motives, sometimes the person is just weak. No matter, all motives are completely believable and keep the plot twisted.

Plus the acting is phenomenal. I could not recommend this show more strongly.

Wow, this was unexpectedly good, if unrelentingly bleak. It covers a whole gamut of awful scenarios and dark subject matter. It's brilliantly written and acted throughout and some of the performances are the best I've seen for ages. It really deserves a wider audience, but it might all just be a bit too heavy and realistic for some.

I'm looking for more UK series to watch and realized I saw this and thought I left a review. Very good mystery, crime, thriller. Th guy from the fall ( one of my all time favorite's ) is in this. If you like good thrillers, who dun it's you'll enjoy this.

PLEASE do yourself an enormous favor and ignore every negative and even-less-than-highly positive review. This is superb! Extremely intelligent, unpredictable, twists and turns, very believable. Not scary. Not graphic. Not bloody or violent. I've watched it twice. I haven't seen anything on Netflix better than this series. This is the first review I have written. I highly recommend this series.

The characters are complex and nuanced as are the performances for most. Others like the brother Rob are marred in just being a plot device rather than fully formed person. The parents get the best stuff and while there's lots of nail biting and the furious smoking of a cigarette- and why wouldn't there be- they each unravel, piece by piece, righteousness, judgement, martyrdom, cowardice, greed and of course, hypocrisy. All of it. It's Greek tragedy.
