Quem é Erin Carter?

My husband and I really enjoyed this mini-series, which we watched over two nights. It has an interesting plot and developed characters. The backstory is delivered bit by bit, keeping the viewer involved. I appreciated the main character as being multi-faceted. Well acted, Erin Carter is a character who behaves as real people do: sometimes clever, sometimes foolish. She struggles and she grows. In fact all the characters are like people you might actually know. Some good and some bad qualities. Of course being entertainment, the plot is often unrealistic. But, hey, it is tv. If you want realism, turn off the tv and read the newspaper. If you want an entertaining show, this is a good one.

I saw a few bad reviews that were horribly low! I love Douglas Henshell so I decided to watch! Not bad more like an Acorn or Brittbox series. For Netflix wasn't bad. The storyline was decent compared to most the J@njk put out by Netflix over the last 2 years! This is BBC network etc. Sure it was highly implausible but better than 90% of the stuff o Netflix lately and I'm so sick of having to write 600 character reviews when I've contributed so many over the years! With all the junk out there that seems like it's written by 8th graders this is not terrible and definitely watchable and if it was BBC it would have gotten better reviews!

I had a suspicion this might be dreadful and after the first episode I hadn't been persuaded otherwise. I stuck with it and started to really enjoy it.

Episode four is where it really starts to get going and from there you're already invested.

Now, I'm not normally a huge fan of the running and shooting and jumping off stuff and fighting action films/series, but I do appreciate the effort that goes into them. I've seen Die Hard a couple of times, it was fun.

For me, this series was kind of like that. You need to sit back and enjoy the nonsense.

Clearly, any normal person getting kicked about several times a day would need a bit of recovery time. Did Bruce Willis ever need recovery time? I don't think so! So why would super badass mom, Erin Carter?!

My advice? Chill out, laugh at the ridiculousness, groan at the terrible dialogue, suspend your disbelief pretty much all the way through, and just enjoy it!

Oh, and can I say thank you to whoever decided to have the protagonist run around in sensible shoes and not four inch stilettos all the time? I mean, you want realism? There it is.

Anyway, I hope there's a second series. That's how much I enjoyed it!

That's not something I can say often. This show is constant tension, action and plot. The series feels a lot longer than it is without ever feeling boring. One episode feels like half a season. On top of that, the series is also decently funny and has some lowkey clever moments. Evin Ahmad absolutely shines as a Brit and an action character and her kid not looking like her at all makes sense this time (unlike Snabba Cash).

The largest problem I see is the handling of the backstory. Too much becomes hinted at too obviously too quickly, making the mystery around Erin's past less intriguing and preventing the series from having the emotional edge it's going for.

But I don't care, this is one of Netflix's most entertaining, substantial and well-paced productions I've seen.

She's a badass, that's who she is!

I ignored this for a few days because I thought this was another dubbed Netflix series which seems to be flooding the place lately.

I'm glad I gave it a go though, it was good. Erin Carter gets caught up in a Spanish supermarket robbery. After a tussle with one of the perpetrators he recognises her as 'Kate'.

As the title suggests we then see who Erin Carter really is.

There's nothing groundbreaking here, we've seen other series with similar plots but this ran smoothly, was never really boring and kept the audience guessing.

It's seven episodes with a running time of around fifty minutes per episode.

A solid seven out of ten from me.
