Hidden

At least as Gene Hunt, Philip Glenister had some charisma. As Harry Venn, he as none. Neither are the rest of the characters very interesting. Add to that an incoherent and wildly implausible plot, and the best things about this miniseries are the street scenes in London & Paris. Why as high as 4*s? It's like the SAT exams. You get 200 points for remembering your name. (That's an urban legend, btw.)

Watched this series, thought it seemed interesting. Watched till the end waiting for the explanations, well the show has finished and no explanations so I have absolutely no idea what it was all about! People getting killed some kind of conspiracy, more people getting killed, the end.

Don't waste your time

"Hidden" is a four-part British thriller starring Philip Glenister and Thekla Reuten.

The story is wild, one of those government corruption tales. Government corruption is feasible, and in real life there were riots in Britain and resignations of officials. But there were other elements of this plot that put it on the fanciful side.

Glenister is Harry Ven, a solicitor, is asked by attorney Gina Hawkes (Reuten) to find a alibi witness for her client. This witness also has information about Ven's late brother Mark 20 years earlier.

The plot takes off from there into a political conspiracy. This includes a plan to take over the government by a billionaire. He has an assassination bureau that gets rid of anyone in their way.

David Suchet plays Sir Nigel Fountain, a relative of Hawkes', and he's amazing. At first I didn't recognize him.

The end is a downer because it really doesn't end. There's ambiguous and there's nothing - this was nothing.

The acting was good, with Philip Glenister attractive in a disheveled kind of way and totally believable.

Okay.

It's hard to watch all these talented actors with nothing to do.

This miniseries requires constant attention. Binge watching is a must. Contains some of Britain's best talent, in mystery of twists and turns.
