Cold Call

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!

The ending was just a shambles and the acting very mediocre throughout. It could have been so much better with a bit more thought and better choice of cast.

I wouldn't recommend it I'm afraid.

It's nice to see some original drama on Channel five, a pretty good job was done with this. In terms of subject matter it was relevant, I've heard a few cases in the news, people caught by online and telephone requesters. Part one had my blood boiling, it was definitely the best episode of the series, after that it loses a bit of reality, but remains a good watch. The finale is out and out bonkers, take it for what it is, a piece of tv drama, and you'll enjoy it.

Sally Lindsay is excellent as the lead, I'd love to see her in more drama leads, she did a great job.

Paul Higgins is excellent as the bad guy, he plays a man on the edge very well.

Crackers, but fun. 7/10

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.

Had all the potential of a hit great cast for a great topic but unfortunately it has channel 5 all over it.

Piss poor production, worse editing a story that as pointless aspects that detract from the main issue and a Mark Addy that looks like he's put on a 90°c boil wash for 5 days then bundled in the dryer for the weekend.

Stopped watching 20 minutes in the 3rd episode and skimmed the 4th episode, the Christmas ads were OK
