Hidden

I enjoyed the acting, Philip Glenister reminded me more of an updated "Callan", disheveled, unshaven, half asleep etc.. It was good to see David Suchet out of his "Poirot" skin for a while, although I had hoped to see more of a role for him. Anna Chancellor is a fine actress who I have seen do justice to many roles was underused,given her talents. Nevertheless the cast was well thought out and worked well together.

The storyline was another matter. The plot zig-zagged all over the place. I appreciate the need for suspense, but many questions went unanswered. Why were Gina's parents killed? (Because they were a brilliant legal team?) What had the earlier crime, the killing at Braddock House have to to do with the events 20 years later? Maybe I missed something but there seemed to be quite a few loose ends that never got resolved. And, what happened to Elspeth? The ending was not satisfying. Maybe there will be a fifth episode.

Or perhaps a new PI series based upon Philip Glenister's character. With a better plot and no loose strings, it could probably go somewhere.

This should have been renamed The Cell Phone because that's all they did was call people on cell phones and drive in cars. Very strange series. It was confusing and very far fetched. I still gave it 4 stars because it wasn't very boring and the acting was good.

The ending was a complete disaster. It made me feel like I wasted hours. This is why my rating was so low. The only thing I can think of is that they were hoping for another series. Yeah right. I've never seen so much cell phone conversations and close ups in my life. It became irritating. Chases and cell phones. Then close ups of sweaty faces. It's worth a watch but don't bother getting into it while doing so.

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.)

This is a great show which is why I take IMDb reviews of British, Scandinavian, Aussie shoes with a grain of salt. Too bad there aren't more episodes.

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
