Stay Close

I've read a few reviews on here. Read them whilst watching. It nearly put me off finishing this especially as in the earlier episodes it did lag slightly. As you get further on towards the end it does get your attention and you do keep watching because you simply have to know what's happened. When you find out what's happened you'll be surprised. Certainly never guessed any of that ending at all.

Good strong cast. Good strong performances. You do invest yourself in James Nesbitt and Sarah Parish in particular.

The two 'killing eve' types are certainly frightening to watch if not very clever.

Worth a binge if you like mystery who done it.

The draw was Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt and a UK crime drama. The premise is, do we ever really know someone? The questions are: Are we a product of our past? Can we escape the errors of our past? Great casting. Great performances. Great locations around the iconic DREAM memorial in Sutton Manor Park, Saint Helen's, UK. I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10. {Police Procedural}

I will be honest, with names like James Nesbitt, Sarah Parish, Eddie Izzard and Cush Jumbo in the cast this was always going to be a show that I would be watching from start to finish.

The first episodes were a bit messy, but after that it had me hooked and I binged it in one sitting.

Some would say it was convoluted and they would be right, it has lots of twists and a few red herrings, but you have to persevere with shows like this if you want to be entertained.

The one star reviewers who didn't even get through the first episode deserve to miss out, if you have the attention span of a gnat, you deserve to miss out. Go and watch a show with lots of explosions.

This is not what I would call a brilliant show, but it has a lot of twists and they keep coming right to the very end and I mean that literally.

If you think you should give up after the first episode or during the first episode, don't this is worth the 7+ hours required to watch it.

Not sure I would watch it a second time, but it is likely if given enough time between viewings.

Easy 7/10 for me.

If you wanted to start a new life with a new identity you wouldn't stay in the same area that you had run away from seventeen years earlier...everyone from her past are in spitting distance even her daughter went to the same nightclub...that was the biggest scene up with the start of the story... after that it was all too unbelievable.

What a terrible piece of drama. Nothing but cliche after cliche - totally unrealistic and unbelievable nonsense. Not even well acted. Complete waste of my time and Netflix money.
