Dead and Buried

Where do we start? It's always possible that someone could just bump into the guy who killed her brother - as you do, in a supermarket car park - and then that you get more and more obsessed with messing his life up. He's "done his time" but that's not enough for Cathy... She has to ruin the killer's life.

The story-line requires that working people just take time of of work; Cathy just disappears for an hour or two and her husband accepts it; a phone gets stolen, with no induction how. The dialogue doesn't flow, the characters are two-dimensional and uninteresting. The story gets more and more ridiculous and the demands on the poor cast become overwhelming: at times, you can read it in the actors' eyes: "How did I get involved in this?" Fortunately, there are only four episodes to endure, although I suspect they planned for six and decided to cut and run after four.

Ended really poorly...let down by plot holes all over the place, some really bad acting in places, unbelievable storylines and behaviour from the main characters and supporting characters and all kinds of subplots that went nowhere, fast.

It seems like it should've played out in six parts rather than four, the ending was totally ridiculous and left a lot of questions unanswered. Buildup flashbacks are all well and good but at some point we deserve the logical 'full picture' of the past. Otherwise it makes not a lot of sense...

I thought the young man played the torn up, angry teenager really well and he will go far as an actor. Just a bit wasted on this series.

I can't say I hated it, it had a good start and build which I enjoyed for a while but it all felt messy, a bit thrown together and rushed at the end.

Each episode of Dead And Buried ( binge watched it!) is highly entertaining and gripping.

Dark humor!! Think, 'Pulp Fiction'. Mixed in with some very dramatic scenes as well. It is not meant to be taken too seriously. All actors knew the assignment. Resulting in an enjoyable and gripping watch.

Enjoyed every second of it. Lots of twists and turns, keeps you guessing.

Colin Morgan and Anna Schoely (spelling?) did an absolutely wonderful job.

Rave reviews from public and press on the internet already. Anyone I know personally who watched it, loved it.

If you want somethinga little different from the typical everyday 'shlop' you see on tv, then this is the show for you.

Highly recommended.

I endured all episodes of this dire offering from the BBC. One and a half episodes in and I really didn't care what happened to any of the two dimensional characters, by episode three I was skip watching just to get to the end. The flimsy storyline revolves around the lengths to which the female protagonist will go to get revenge on the man who killed her brother many years previously; the whys and wherefores of which are never fully explained. She is a teacher, so supposedly intelligent; but her actions become increasingly ridiculous as she twitters, cries copious amounts of tears into copious amounts of wine and lurches from one unbelievable situation to the next whilst dragging her equally stupid friend along for the ride. By a strange coincidence her husband; also a teacher; teaches the son the man and there seems to be some kind of never goes anywhere subplot involving the two of them. And then we are treated to an ending that is so bad it is laughable. The whole thing is made worse by the poor acting, the dire dialogue and the lack of any resolution or explanation of the subplots. This series falls well short of taut thriller status. If you want a good "revenge stalking" thriller try Red Road instead.

Started of brilliantly had me completely hooked. But as episodes went on it became increasingly improbable especially the final episode. A pity because it showed great promise. Too many plot twists with no explanation. Lead female character had no likeable traits whatsoever so it was hard to feel any sympathy for her. The male lead was better and definitely easy on the eye but you never really find out why he did what he did. All of the main characters were all linked in one way or another but there back stories, connections and various problems were never explained properly. A 2nd series maybe.
