Eyewitness

Eyewitness is one of the best things on TV I would say. It's not something that has a lot humor and if you can't watch drama, probably not your show, which is okay. However, it's not a show that is gonna make you depressed to watch. It has a very good story line and plot, it is not simply just about Philip and Lukas witnessing the murder and struggling with not being able to tell, mostly because of Lukas being paranoid of people finding out he's gay. There are many plot lines in this, like a ex FBI agent (now Philip's foster mom and sheriff in a small town), a FBI agent with a sister in serious trouble, and of course the killer. So you aren't just seeing things from Lukas and Philip's eyes. The writing is not predictable and you will be surprised and entertained.

This isn't a show that is in poor LGBT taste, there aren't any gay stereotypes in this.

This cast is really great, despite the fact that most of these actors aren't known. everyone on the show does a amazing job, I really love what the actors who play Philip and Lukas are doing.

What a great show!

The intriguing writing is complimented by visually interesting direction. strong images, good camera work and an eerie musical score. Not to mention very natural acting. We have strong women more messed up than their slightly more sensitive men, we have a young gay man way stronger than his closeted, popular "friend".

Refreshing to see the male/female relationship in a new light.

And there is a lot of horrible murder!

It's a great Whodunnit as well! Damn, you must check it out!

I wish this show a strong following and many more years on air!

This show is perfect. I have heard from many young adults that it has changed their lives-- and it's only on the first season. This show is so entertaining and the audience feels drawn to the characters and can relate to them each in their own way. A strong, independent female lead police officer, real-life beautiful LGBTQ representation, coming out stories, crime and mystery, the struggles and real world problems that come along with being a foster child/trying to create a family bond.. This show covers it all. Watch if you have not watched yet. This show has the opportunity to become something big and help people all around the world. I hope it continues for many more seasons!! The outpouring of love for it on twitter and other social media sites proves that it should be continued...

This miniseries started well - and the muted colors worked very well for some beautiful scenes. Basically though there was not enough material (or it was simply not narrated in sufficient depth) to warrant 10 episodes. The series upon which it was based was 'only' 6 episodes and so should this have been (imho) - or even less!

I also felt that too many significant events only happened because of the unbelievable stupidity of some of the cast. I find this to be a cheap and lazy method of introducing plot turns and excitement. Furthermore the bad guy was only caught by a last minute revelation that, if true, could/should not - for credibility - have been so completely hidden up to that point. I had higher hopes for this miniseries based on the reviews I read.
