Não Há Segunda Chance

I just finished watching this on PBS Passport with the English subtitles that came with the video stream.

In my opinion there is no way you can predict the real motives and the ending. There are lots of twists to keep all the characters busy and keep you guessing. But you also begin to wonder why, like they add things just so there can be even more characters. The real story is revealed at the end.

Looking back, you should have a number of unanswered questions about the plot and the resolution for some of the characters. There appears to be no official consequences for their actions.

I don't consider the next few sentences a spoiler as I don't believe what I reveal has much if anything to do with the plot. There's a scene with 2 of the alleged bad guys, one male and one female. The female rolls up her shirt and her partner slugs her hard in the abdomen twice I believe and she falls down, but she's OK. That's it. So what purpose did the scene serve? I don't know.

Not another kidnap[ing show, I thought. (MISSING, Season 1, was already harrowing.) Anyway, becuz it's French, I stayed on. Just finished Episode 2; and it does get better. The plot if more complicated and layered.

I enjoyed this program, but it didn't need to be 6 episodes. The drama was often overwrought. They could have easily gotten the entire plot done in four or less episodes.

Still it is worth the time to watch.

I can't believe PBS picked up this thing. The police alternate reliably between stupidity and cruelty. With a little effort from the writers this might have been ok. Instead it's almost laughably weak.

In a nutshell ? "Tell No One" in 6 episodes, and I too didn't think it would be that good after watching two episodes but at the third one, I just knew it was going to be amazing. Until the last 30 minutes I was hooked and I was not disappointed indeed !
