A Verdade Sobre o Caso Harry Quebert

The story is interesting, that's why I've kept watching it. I think of the whole cast, the only one able to pull a decent enough peformance is Patrick Dempsey, everyone else's acting is uncomfortable to watch. Seriously, you have to actively concentrate on the plot or else the over-the-top acting will distract you. It's strange because I've seen most of the cast in other things here and there and they were fine so I'm guessing the strange over-acting is something that was asked of them? I don't know, it's just weird. The make up is also terrible, so that is quite distracting as well. That being said, if you hang in there, the plot will pull you along. It's a fun little thriller show to watch on a lazy Sunday, just don't expect Oscar worthy performances.

This show is ok. i will watch it for awhile to see how it unfolds. the acting is not always great. a fair bit of mediocre. . mcdreamy is definitely mccreepy in this show. i guess his best days are over with.

A few years ago I read the book, on the one hand I thought it a real page-turner, but also a bit shallow and rather poorly written. I had the same feelings about this series. You keep watching because there are so many twists and turns and every episode ends with yet another unexpected cliffhanger. But as to the core of the story, i.e. the fatal love between young and (not so) innocent Nola and much older, handsome Harry Quebert, it impressed me as if that part of the screenplay was written by a teenage girl with some overwrought romantic fantasies: the way these two rather improbable lovers act and talk when they're together is so cloyingly sweet it makes your teeth ache. In fact, the whole story is made up of improbabilities, coincidences, and almost gothic circumstances, like mysterious disfigured men, multiple personality disorders, corrupt and murderous policemen, arson, etcetera, it's frankly a bit too much of everything.

Most of the acting is fine, with Patrick Dempsey as the main character, although in my opinion he didn't get enough room to really shine. Kristine Froseth made Nola more annoying than sweet. My favorite actor was Ben Schnetzer, I didn't know him before, he's very natural and convincing (and looks really awesome!).

All in all: involving but also a bit disappointing.

I love love love this drama.....do not agree with one review...how it makes hem feel uncomfortable watching it because of the so called relationship old & young! I have seen worse on tv

On episode 4 in U.K. and had to buy the book to find out what happens! A real page turner with twists and turns! The tv series really does credit to the book I think! Still look forward to the tv show every week even though I know what happens! Best thing I've watched in ages and the best book too!
