Requiem

Encompassing the elements of both the supernatural and thriller genres is a challenge not fully accomplished here. It is often "either-or" and their melting is not smooth, slowing down the pace and including unnecessary scenes and characters. The ending is also vague, leaving a certain emptiness and vacuity... The performances are just above average as well, nothing special, only Welsh landscape is a distinct "supporting actor" - at least for those been to and/or fond of the UK.

So, no flop by any means, but I know dozens of BBC series that are more dynamic and more interesting.

Wow, some bad reviews on here. 1-star?? It doesn't deserve that, irresponsible rating that skews the overall review score.

I don't agree with them. It's not bad, decent cast, worth a few hours of your time.

That fringe though, kept annoying me! you will see what I mean.

Tired of people writing reviews that analyze and pick apart every damn aspect of a movie, pretending to be artistic scholars. If you are like me and just enjoy a distraction every now and then, binge on this series when you have an xtra 6 hours. It was enjoyable...not a work of art...enjoyable. All the wanna-be critics out there...RELAX!

'Requiem' is alright. It's nothing spectacular nor is it particularly scary. When the ominous music played non-stop and every single thing was supposed to be so dramatic, I grew tired of it. The series took sooo much time showing endless wondering while these ridiculous whispers were heard in the backround, but the ending was so quick there was no sensible pacing. I didn't appreciate the main actress, she was stiff as a board. In the end I felt like there were so many things left unsaid, like what was with the sheep and Hal, wtf? So.. I'm being generous and give this 7/10. I hope someone does a better version of this, because this one just didn't impress. Comes to think of it, I'm giving this a 6/10 instead.

It's a decent enough drama with a moderately engaging, if drawn-out, story. The majority of the characters however are quite unlikeable with the main character, Tilly, being just excruciatingly unpleasant.
