Capital

I have to admit that the mystery at the heart of this series' plot. Is what made me continue to watch it. The acting is good, as are the directing and production values. As an anglophile, I enjoy seeing how the Brits live. The characters in the series are interesting enough, and could be people one would come into contact with in our daily lives. The series just misses coming off as a soap opera, which in some ways it could be compared to. While I don't begrudge the time I spent watching the series. I was a little "underwhelmed" by the final reveal and the finale.

It's a nice TV drama series featuring some superb actors as Toby Jones; Adeel Akhtar; Danny Ashok and Wunmi Mosaku.

It highlights residents living in the London capital city on a high-value surbaban street where houses cost more than £2m. The value of the houses rise as the months of the characters' lives are portrayed.

Each character has signifant issues in the script during the series. It is also a melting pot of 'WE WANT WHAT YOU HAVE' being advertised at the characters in various messages either through thier door or on advertising elsewhere. No one knows where or why this message came (from).

It's a very interesting cynical look at the elite v us and how people's lives can change so much for the worse or the better. The most affluent member of the street is also not immune to having a life being rapidly-changed.

It shows you that you should not neccessarily be too greedy and want everything and there are problems when you reach the top as much as there are problems at the bottom.

The dialogue is great. The script and casting is superb. I regret that I did not see this on TV but it came out on Netflix and as I am a huge fan of Toby Jones so I had to watch it!

It's really a great drama and I don't want to ruin too much but if you enjoy how different people live on a street and character development and big drama with characters fighting and making-up and interwoven love-stories then this is the perfect show for you!

Really nicely done. 8/10!

A group of neighbours are perplexed when they receive cards, featuring the words 'we want what you have,' initially they treat them as a marketing plan, but events soon take a more serious twist.

It's a very unique drama, I can think of very few along the same lines, the closest thing that comes to mind, The Casual Vacancy, not they there isn't a story, there definitely is, but it's almost secondary to the wonderful character play.

Every single character is so rich, so well realised, so relevant, the stories have significance even a decade on, Quentina's in particular.

Hard to say what it is, it's a drama, it's a mystery, it's one of those that doesn't need to be classified, it's just such an absorbing watch.

The performances are terrific, you'll see so many well known faces, so much talent, Toby Jones, Rachel Stirling and Gemma Jones are awesome. I truly rated the performance of Radoslaw Kaim, Bogdan was a great character.

9/10.

Very cleverly written satire. I'm surprised this hasn't been viewed (or reviewed here) by more, and I completely disagree with the criticisms posted by earlier reviewers.

It's a neat story, with some attractive characters compellingly facing various moral dilemmas. The acting is first-rate - no weak links in the cast.

Strongly recommended.

This more of a (mostly) comedy soap opera than anything. It has elements of realism in its premise: the social mix created in London streets because of exploding property prices - but there is also over-the-top parody and slightly cloying sentimentality. The comedy Pakistani grandmother is a case in point. The story of the postcards is weak and a bit baffling. The Detective Inspector (yes, that's the drip's rank) who endlessly visits the street on this rather trivial matter certainly isn't realistic. I have my doubts, too, about the church which entirely consists of a large wonderfully disciplined choir. We're in a dream world, except perhaps for Gemma Jones's story. And then there's the sadly all-too realistic tale of the Home Office relentlessly persecuting an immigrant. A strange mix, but overall it is fun to watch and the acting is mostly excellent.
