The Killing Kind

Are the people giving this 10 stars watching the same show?

I had high hopes for this because of the high ratings on here.

But the main character is so utterly idiotic it's impossible to sympathise and relate to her at all. I found myself not caring what happened to her as she made endless stupid decision after the next and took the few decent people in her life for granted.

It felt self absorbed, dull and repetitive and things some characters did towards the end of the series seemed out of character for them and more just in line with where the script needed to go.

Predictable dull end with a small cliff hanger we are supposed to be excited about, but are not in the slightest. This does not deserve a season 2.

If you are a fan of crime drama's do not waste your time on this!!

Beautiful series Intense plot, full of twists and turns Perfectly acted by the entire cast, primarily Emma Appletone ( Ingrid ) and Colin Morgan ( John Webster ) The two create a state of emotional tension that leads the viewer to want even more You fear for Ingrid and at the same time you would trust your own life to John The two have created fantastic chemistry Colin Morgan is truly special, you can't help but love him His talents are innate It's not just bravura, no, it's something beyond bravura.

His John manages to draw you in, to make you feel loved Would you trust him?

Certainly Colin Morgan once again demonstrated his immense talents.

Ingrid Lewis, a barrister is horrified when her friend and colleague Belinda's is killed one night, carrying Ingrid's distinctive red umbrella. Ingrid receives a call from former client John Webster, who begins stalking her.

One of those dramas that could easily pass you by, luckily it came up as a recommendation on Britbox, I'm staggered as to why this hasn't been more prominent, it definitely didn't go out on ITV.

If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to check it out, you won't be disappointed. It's full of twists and turns, suspense and intrigue, a real whodunnit in the old fashioned sense, you'll have to watch right through to learn all.

A thought provoking story, but easy to follow, I didn't feel confused at any time, I was never left muddled or bemused.

I didn't instantly get into it, it does take a little time to get going, but when it does, it delivers. Episode five in particular was excellent.

A fine cast, including Emma Appleton and Sara Powell, however it's Colin Morgan who stood out for me, he has done several times, cracking actor.

Watch it.

7/10.

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.

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 .
