The Killing Kind

Story fairly gripping, almost too many twists and turns, some implausibility.

Emma Appleton acting breathless wide eyed stilted , not a fan.surely there are others who could play this role better?

Colin Morgan a great actor, versatile and very creepy in this!

Some of the twists and turns a bit silly really but I went along with it and watched it all.

I didn't guess the ending/ denouement which says good things about the series.

I wouldn't watch it again but I enjoyed it overall.

As is the way nowadays a lot of it set in the dark so you can hardly follow the story/ action/ characters.

Had to watch it with subtitles on in order to not miss any dialogue .

Gave this a try because of the very high score... quickly realised that the score was based on a handful of fake reviews, and because this is buried on a streaming service nobody has, there probably won't be any real ones any time soon. It seems like a case of a book (that I haven't read) translating very badly to the screen. There isn't much character development. I was constantly asking questions as so much felt unlikely out unbelievable. It's also very cheaply made, with overuse of a mainly green colour palette to try and make it look 'cinematic'. If you've watched this and thought it was guff too then please do review it honestly and help others get a more balanced score.

First episode was promising and I had reasonably high hopes this would be a decent series but it deteriorated by the week and by the end I no longer cared about the lead character and in some ways hoped she'd come a cropper as she was irritating beyond belief. Given she was supposed to be an intelligent, clued-up barrister she made some ludicrous choices and behaved in a way that was quite simply farcical. The whole thing was messy, often confusing and peppered with a host of highly unlikely, not to mention unlikeable, characters. As it was only six episodes I stuck with it but any longer and I would have aborted mission after about three.

Great acting performances Tense, intense, destabilising story An excellent book made for an almost perfect series, I say almost because they should have worked a bit more on the ending but this does not detract from a tense thriller where truth and lies chase each other Where love borders on obsession Emma Appletone and Colin Morgan brought to life two characters who, at a certain point, take you into their fears and delusions.

Episodes follow one another and you can't stop watching: YOU HAVE TO KNOW The need to understand whether to trust or not The need to believe those eyes that speak in silence Thank you Thank you for everything Thank you Emma and thank you Colin.

Absolutely brilliant, full of tension, twists and turns almost veiled and whispered but ready to destabilise you.

The two leads did a sublime job Emms Appletone as Ingrid proved to be quite a talent Colin Morgan as John Webster has once again proved his extraordinary skill, he can play any role without ever losing his edge and his characters are believable and real every time.

Just one note: I would have preferred a less rushed ending, but that doesn't detract from the fact that The Killing Kind is a full ten!

And remember, I say this as a man so my judgement is not seasoned by his charm: Colin Morgan is not an actor like the others, and on another level.

He would be able to play a rock and still bring it to life.
