Coma

Coma is a 2024 British television drama series starring Jason Watkins and Jonas Armstrong aired on channel 5 in March 2024.

Devoted family man Simon finds his neighbourhood is terrorised by group of teenagers.

My mum watched this and said it was good.

The storyline was excellent every episode gets better and better throughout. It's a Drama with little suspense.

It certainly had be hooked from beginning to end.

Very believable as this kind of storyline can happen in real life.

You just didn't know which way the story was going to plan out.

You can easily binge watch this in weekend !!!

Acting is phenomenal !!!

Jason Watkins is a very versatile actor most things he has been in are very good to watch.

He makes you believe in the character, personality that is what you call a good actor.

All cast was good in their own way.

I was very impressed well worth the watch!!!

Why the low rating and negative reviews.

Dont anyone know what good drama is !!

You need to watch it.

Overall A excellent watch!!!

With superb acting.

If you like 4 part dramas such as the Teacher, the catch. Then you will love this much better than both of these.

So head over to My 5 Get watching Now !!!

Coma is a brilliantly tense thriller, over four hours of increasing intensity, there are no loops here just escalations.

It centres around a mild mannered Jason Watkins and a single moment, tormented by just about everything and anyone he snaps and his world unravels. Pretty soon he's sitting uncomfortably in wine bars with petty gangsters and lying to the police.

It is also awful, a great set of core names wondering what they are doing here. It is filmed in Eastern Europe and that doesn't get lost - it simply looks nothing like anywhere in the UK.

Somehow this manages to be enthralling, tense and awful at the same time.

It's 4 hours - it's channel 5 - there are worse things on TV to watch!

I was looking forwards to viewing this as I liked the three main leads.

However a poor script ;often too repetitive gave the series a lack of drive.

The police were once again portrayed as inadequate buffoons.

The young actor who played the lout showed only a characture of what was a pivotal role ,though again this was the script rather than the actor.

The story could have been told in one episode My version was that Simon should have told Paul that it was his(Simon's) boss who hit the boy.

Then when Paul had dealt with this person,Simon could have anonymously phoned the police with details of the offence. Paul would be arrested and locked up and Simon was off the hook having only to deal with junior psycho.

I'm not really into these four or five part drama series. They're rarely well written and tend to lose their way. And they always headline with the same rotating pack of drama actors.

This one however sounded a good premise. God the acting was terrible. From everyone apart from the wife. The 'victim' was the worse. He couldn't act for toffee and we were way better off with him in the coma. The main character had the option to just shrug it off and disappear into his own life.. That would have been great. It could have just built up behind the scenes in two different stories coming together for the finale. But instead, it was he had the classic rabbit in the headlights response. .

I was bored and as I'm old enough to make my own mind up, life is too short to watch a well trodden bore fest. Two episodes was all I was willing to give it.

I was really looking forward to this drama because of the excellent cast. Jason Watkins has been consistently excellent in everything I've seen him in. The problem with this is the fanciful script. It's too silly for words. The characters aren't that likeable. Jason Watkins' character is a complete "Wally". It's hard to believe his wife would be in a relationship with him as he's so helpless.

The story became more unbelievable with each episode. I was at the stage where I was expecting them to discover Lord Lucan hiding in their garden. It could have been a really dripping story but was let down by the weak script. I love British drama but this was a big let down.
