Cold Call

As another writer has said, you really have to suspend your disbelief because it is all so implausible. Some viewers will be happy to do that - it's just not my cup of tea as I prefer the cases to be more realistic and less dramatic; maybe I should be watching documentaries.

As someone who has had numerous phishing scams (disappointed when the Nigerians don't send one at least every few months), and one attempted computer hack, & suspicious phone calls I can testify as to how well this movie conveyed those experiences. Well researched. Good acting. Twisty ending that not all may like, but I thought it was creatively different.

Needed something to watch. One of us has recorded this and it looked easy viewing. We don't mind Sally Lindsay, although accept she's a pretty limited actress. She blew the rest of them off the screen, but only because the rest of the acting was some of the worst I've ever seen committed to production. Truly terrible.

The series kind of went downhill from a 7 to a 3, so my rating reflects that. Silly escapism and certainly not unwatchable. A preposterous plot, but you know what you're going to get, so watching this is a bit like reading a trashy novel on holiday..... you know, the type you wouldn't dream of displaying on your bookcase afterwards, or recommending to a friend!

While we were watching the second episode of this my wife said "This is brilliant, I wonder why it isn't on ITV3?" When we watched the final episode 4 we both knew why. The writing went off the rails.

The last episode was a let down. Not sure what happened with the writing, but overall, the show was entertaining and the acting was tolerable! Worth a watch!
