I, Jack Wright

Business tycoon Philip Wright takes his own life, allegedly, leaving behind a large family. The Wright family are keen to read the will, but get a shock by how he's chosen to divide his fortune, various family feuds begin.

It's always worth taking a looking and seeing what's on the U channels, every now and then a little gem pops up, this is such a gem, it's a cut above a lot of what's been on ITV and The BBC recently.

It's very Agatha Christie in the early stages, a dubious suicide, the reading of a will, a family at war, it's an intriguing and satisfying mystery.

You'll have lots of questions as it develops, the main one I had....where on Earth was Trevor Eve, he was all over the trailer, but sadly had minutes on screen.

A great cast assembled for this one, the likes of John Simm, Zoe Telford and Nikki Amuka-Bird, some fine performances.

A second series follows, they are running through risk of over egging the pudding, but I can see one, I binge watched it.

8/10.

I feel insulted! The ending of season 1 was a slap in the face. I love a British who done it shows, and this one was pretty good! It held my attention throughout. But to leave us hanging in the last episode was really uncalled for!!! This was not even a good cliffhanger! The actors are fabulous, but the writing could have been better. Character development overall was good, pace good, and it kept me coming back week to week! But that last episode ... over the top cruel! I won't be coming back next season! 😡 I just can't believe they ending it this way! What were they thinking????? If I were the producer, I would have demanded a rewrite!

The producers did a weird and selfish ending by providing no ending. It's all a cliff hanger til season 2. Yes, many series end with a new and unresolved cliff to hang from, but this is nearly all untied. Stupid idea. The series was top notch however. Script very good and acting spot on. If only more shows could be this high quality - except for the greedily commercialized final minute.

I'm with several other viewers who are giving this effort a low rating nit because the idea of the story was bad or the production values were bad or the acting and directing or editing were bad, I giving it a low rating because it is not simply unfair to viewers but it is cruel to produce and air a first season cliffhanger without a pre-approved 2nd season deal. This happens far to frequently and the people behind the production - the studio - should not allow it if they are not going to green light a second (or 3rd ...) season. They should have aired an episode that wrapped the story up for viewers so that if another season did not arrive the story could be seen as complete. In the event of a second season, the audience could have been surprised by the "I'm guilty" announcement and the ingoing investigation. This is just a cheat and I feel that I have been duped into wasting 6 hours of my time on an unfinished "who-done-it". Nothing worse.

Excellent, suspenseful, many twists, edge of seat. The last episode was a disappointing cliff hangar that left me wishing I waited till next year so I could binge through a next season to finally get some answers to the many questions. The actors are very good. The writing is excellent and the production and sequencing is gripping. That's all but I need to keep writing something because there's a requirement for reviews to contain at least six hundred characters. Good thing the series didn't have that many! Give it a go if you don't mind waiting at least another year to get answers to the questions it raises.
