Stay Close

First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the tv show I liked it and I had high expectations about it. Eventually, it was a nice tv show and I enjoyed it. The plot of the tv show was interesting and mysterious, but not innovative because there are too many shows similar to this one. The storyline was well-written, well-explained and easy to understand. The characters of the show were interesting, well-developed and likeable (except, the bad guys). The casting was nice and their performances were descent. I have to admit, it was an intense show, suspenseful and enjoyable. In my opinion, the final three episodes were probably the best part of the show. The plot twist was definitely unpredictable and I really liked it. The killcount of the show was bloody and some death scenes were brutal. Also, the cinematography and the score of the show were both very well done. Overall, "Stay Close" was a nice mystery/thriller tv show, intense and I would probably recommend it to my friends.

The draw was Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt and a UK crime drama. The premise is, do we ever really know someone? The questions are: Are we a product of our past? Can we escape the errors of our past? Great casting. Great performances. Great locations around the iconic DREAM memorial in Sutton Manor Park, Saint Helen's, UK. I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10. {Police Procedural}

How many ex spies/assassins/trained killers/hookers/ mob enforcers are there in your PTA meeting? If television and mystery writers are to be believed, there are thousand of them picking up young Madison or Dakota from soccer practice right now. They are just hiding their pasts until some hapless yokel attacks them, and out comes the karate and the gun slinging.

In this case, Megan is happily ensconced in her new life as a mother and wife when she gets a visit from an old friend. The audience only has to wait one episode before Megan beats the crap out of a couple of bad guys and two episodes before she meets up with the delightful Eddie Izard as one of her old running buddies.

Unfortunately, there isn't enough Eddie Izard to.get over all the cliches that drag this series. The rest of it bounces between "predictable" and "why am I wasting my time?"

Although the acting was fine, the whole show was so blandly familiar that I gave up.

The "5" is for any series with Eddie.

What a terrible piece of drama. Nothing but cliche after cliche - totally unrealistic and unbelievable nonsense. Not even well acted. Complete waste of my time and Netflix money.

I will be honest, with names like James Nesbitt, Sarah Parish, Eddie Izzard and Cush Jumbo in the cast this was always going to be a show that I would be watching from start to finish.

The first episodes were a bit messy, but after that it had me hooked and I binged it in one sitting.

Some would say it was convoluted and they would be right, it has lots of twists and a few red herrings, but you have to persevere with shows like this if you want to be entertained.

The one star reviewers who didn't even get through the first episode deserve to miss out, if you have the attention span of a gnat, you deserve to miss out. Go and watch a show with lots of explosions.

This is not what I would call a brilliant show, but it has a lot of twists and they keep coming right to the very end and I mean that literally.

If you think you should give up after the first episode or during the first episode, don't this is worth the 7+ hours required to watch it.

Not sure I would watch it a second time, but it is likely if given enough time between viewings.

Easy 7/10 for me.
