Glue

Glue started intriguing with the discovery of a dead body and the presentation of the different characters/suspects. You immediately try to figure it out, like in most of mystery movies/series. And that for about four episodes, just half of the series, after that it gets boring, almost childish behaviours of some of the characters. Bad writing towards the end. Okay I was surprised by the culprit, but not surprised enough to find it a good mystery series. For that the acting of some of the lead actors looked just worthy of soap operas like Eastenders and other trashy shows like that. Yasmin Paige, Jordan Stephens, Charlotte Spencer, those three main characters were annoying to watch with Charlotte Spencer and Jordan Stephens as the most likely to end up doing soap operas. It started well to end badly, luckily it's only eight episodes long.

In many ways this was a good series with many strands and mis-directions. However the acting was erratic and not always believable. But worse than that, as usual, everything around the horse elements was very poor. Wrong tack (General purpose not racing saddles), race horses that just stand around for hours without being tied up, the jockey being given her first race in a big race, anyone allowed to wander around in the weighing room but no officials there, no Stewards enquiry 're the pulled race and many other elements. There was so much potential here and I did persevere to the end (just cos I wanted to know the outcome) but it fell very short of what it could have been

Sorry but a lot of the acting is poor quality and the characters are not engaging. Didn't warm to them or the series. Also the sound quality was poor so a lot of mumbling. Shame, I like to leave good reviews.

Wow is that gripping!! Okay so in parts the acting is a little wooden but it really was nail biting and I consider myself pretty good at guessing the ending but it had me guessing until the last episode!

I still don't understand the upsetting baby calf evening incident....that's not a spoiler, you'll know when you get there. It was never explained and I don't get it.

Brilliant stuff and I loved the comedy house mate! She was brilliant and such a random part but it made it all the more believable and realistic!

Really really really REALLY good!

It's one of those ones I'll keep thinking about... I'm sort of hoping they don't do a second series, leave it where it was. As some dramas SHOULD be left on a high! And that's a very high, high!! :)

This series is deeply emotional and gripping. Callum Turner navigates the tragic role of Eli Bray in an intensely compelling manner, giving one of the best performances of his career. Glue showcases much young talent, with every role being believable and enthralling to watch. Heartbreaking and poignant, it is one of the greatest YA mystery series I have ever seen. Great for fans of Skins.
