Dead and Buried

I have said it before and I will say it again: what is wrong with those reviewers who like to find fault in everything and then give scathing and unjustifiable reviews??

And for those who genuinely don't get the intricate but yet subtle plot twists throughout- which DID pass the test of believability - perhaps watch at a different time when you gain more life experience and an increase in emotional intelligence...

For those who do 'get it', you will be delighted at very consumate and polished acting performances throughout supplemented by highly creative storytelling that easily passes the test of believability.

And if that weren't enough, copperfastened by superb direction that kept the viewer guessing right until the end; an ending that had multiple and shocking twists that compels the viewer to be on the edge of their seat - terrific stuff.

A drama series that highlights the potentially devastating consequences of stalking that gets completely out of hand, and to which should make us all sit up and take notice.

I highly recommend - a riveting watch!

I was enjoying this and genuinely thought I'd be giving it a seven or an eight by the end, but it just went a bit too awry.

I can honestly say that I'm not too sure who did what, to whom, and when, or why.

I don't expect full closure, but I would like at least one bit to be clear.

And this is after the utter nonsense that no one would recognise they are being messed with, even if they were drunk or off their meds all the time.

I did like the story, the actors did a fab job, It's worth watching. It's just a shame it got a bit too clever with itself.

All the secondary characters were way more interesting. Which thinking about it is maybe the point.

Hmmm. I'm confused!

I have never left a review before but having read the mostly negative reviews I felt compelled to leave one after enjoying this show so much. My partner and I watched this entire series in one night and were on the edge of our seats. I thought the acting was on the whole really good, especially Colin Morgan who never disappoints. I think that slightly left-field plot lines makes a thriller interesting and fun as you try and guess what's going to happen in real time. I had no issue with the born again Christian group and thought it was a clever way to acknowledge this corruption that goes on in the real world. I think the last episode was intended to capture a Shakespearean tragedy and those that complained about it lacking a neat and tidy conclusion would likely have been the same people to complain about it being too predictable if it had one. Would defintely recommend!!

Another one of those series that doesn't know how to finish, and leaves you wishing you never invested time in it in the beginning. The first episode gets you hooked with an intriguing plot, good filming and score and characters.

But it just goes downhill dramatically and the last episode is a 2/10 at best. So many more intelligent ways to have concluded the series, but they went for a silly option. Not really sure how they could have messed up the end so badly give there was obviously some talent involved in the production overall. Some reviews criticise the acting but I don't fault the actors.

All I wanted to say was this show was just absolutely frustrating to watch. It's so hard to watch when the lead character (Cathy) is so incredibly unlikeable in every single way. Usually there's redeeming qualities or we get to see another side to the character so you can also empathise and soften but no. I haven't seen a show for so long where I just absolutely hated a character so much it made it kinda hard to watch. The murderer ends up being so much more likeable that you end up rooting for the murderer and hoping things will turn on her. But the main thing is that it kept me entertained and I didn't get bored. Which is what TV is supposed to do. At the same time though, it was a bit of a dreary unpleasant viewing as it's basically just four episodes of a man's life being torn apart by the most unlikeable self absorbed woman who didn't care about who she hurt as long as she tickles her urge. It ended rather abruptly. We didn't get answers for many of the things which was really annoying. The show definitely felt unfinished due to how rushed episode four was and how it ended very abruptly with barely any explanations to many of the plotlines.
