Requiem

It's a decent enough drama with a moderately engaging, if drawn-out, story. The majority of the characters however are quite unlikeable with the main character, Tilly, being just excruciatingly unpleasant.

Tired of people writing reviews that analyze and pick apart every damn aspect of a movie, pretending to be artistic scholars. If you are like me and just enjoy a distraction every now and then, binge on this series when you have an xtra 6 hours. It was enjoyable...not a work of art...enjoyable. All the wanna-be critics out there...RELAX!

I had high hopes for this mini-series, the eeriness and uncertainty from the first episode and the many unanswered questions opening for a story. Sadly, that strength gradually dribbled out. The characters were written to be shallow and unlikable and the acting from Lydia Wilson (who plays Matilda) was stiff which made for a difficult watch. The main storyline was what kept me interested, but I felt almost bored in some of the episodes from the way it was executed. Finally, when the plot was revealed I almost felt cheated, as if the writers couldn't think of anything better to solve the riddle. This was only heightened in the last episode and how it played out. Not one of BBC's best.

All she had to do was take a DNA test and BAM! Just like that, she knows if Rose is her real mom or not.

I don't understand all of the negativity in the reviews. I couldn't stop watching until I finished all 6 episodes. If you are looking for a nightmare inducing show this isn't it. It's more of a mystery/thriller. The ending was a little unsatisfying especially if it doesn't get picked up for a second season. The music that most reviews are complaining about is a requiem. (The title of the show should have given that away.) If there is a second season someone please give Matilda a decent haircut. The one she has now looks like a 5 year old cut it with a pair of safety scissors.
