Mayday

This is not a police procedural or even a mystery the audience can solve. Its genre bending messes with the logic of the film. A great cast giving great performances. Lots of red herrings but ultimately I was disappointed with the resolve. I give this 5 part series a 6 (fair) out of 10. {Drama Mystery Fantasy}

i think the only good thing about this series is the peculiar atmosphere. The story shows some promise but they do manage to f it up real soon. I didn't understand why it had to be sooooo slow and why there were so much blabbering. I hoped it would come to good avail, because I like slow films, on the whole. But here, naaah, they were just looking to fill the time and make this a miniseries when it could have been half as long. Seriously. And they weren't much clear on the story as well. This is usually a good thing, obviously, but here it left me feeling like the writer just couldn't decide which version of facts he liked better. Watch this at your own peril of wasting 5 hours of your life.

Through the first four episodes of this five-parter, it seemed like any of several characters could have killed the May Queen. That the solution eventually comes through some mystical nonsense throws the previous four hours into the dustbin. What a disappointment.

I came here to see if IMDb could suggest something similar to this. It's been about a year since I watched it and I still remember how good it was. I see other ratings range from 1 to 10, so there's obviously quite a difference of opinion. I think it's unfair that some reviewers gave it a low rating because they expected a straight-forward police procedural and got something else. My only quibble was that the teenagers seemed a little older than the story said, and apart from that I thought it was fabulous and unpredictable, and I was satisfied with the ending. I strongly recommend it. Watch with an open mind, and pay attention.

I just across this series on Amazon Prime and I have to say that if you keep in mind it's described as a fantasy, mystery then all these other negative comments are just touch over-thinking! Don't analyze it just enjoy it! Contrary to a lot of the other posts I loved the ending!!
