Fear

The star of this show has to be the gorgeous townhouse. The rest of it is pretty unremarkable. The pacing is a bit slow, and the story unoriginal.

Although the acting is fine, the script doesn't give them much to work with. Nothing really interesting occurs, you could actually miss large bits of the first two episodes and just continue watching without missing anything important.

I'm not really invested in the main characters. The husband is not particularly likeable, and the wife is somewhat dull.

Finally, the ending doesn't make a load of sense. Surely selling the place would have been a much better solution?

3 hours of my life I won't get back. Preposterous waste of decent actors in a terribly scripted, awfully directed and woefully edited dullma.

It's slow, and daft and a real shame that normally strong actors would have to try and be convincing in a totally unconvincing story. How did the dafty downstairs get all his equipment together when he can't string a sentence together? How does he afford it? Why did they buy a house with a basement sub let? Why does the Compton character lie all the time ? What was all that nonsense with the woman in the bar? Why did his wife let it go? What were the police doing? Absolute nonsense.

I saw some reviews saying this was predicable and mediocre. I honestly don't know what those people watched because we thought this three part-er was so, so good.

The acting was excellent. The music was excellent. The direction was on-point. It was different, and very UN-predictable. It made us uncomfortable and anxious, which it was supposed to do. Something like this could so easily happen to anyone. That feeling of being helpless and at someone else's mercy is not something I would relish at all.

Bravo to all the team behind Fear - it was refreshing and intelligent and we absolutely loved it.

It's a run of the mill bill-payer for all concerned. Predictable garbage. Mick Ford the writer has done much better work, which wouldn't be hard in this case. The dialogue is old and the acting embarrassingly formulaic.

I can't believe the actors involved would go for this nonsense. It's just like so many similar themed series before it, but it has no redeeming qualities of itself. I'm struggling to find the necessary 600 words to complete this review.

Predictable, unchallenging, and an insult to the viewer. Like I said, it's earning money for them but in the most shameless way possible. Dreadful.

Gave this a chance but...middle class family move into big house in I think, Glasgow. He Scottish she posh English and English kids. Dialogue dull and possibly written by AI. Creepy guy in basement, creepy from the off so there's no surprise when he turns out to be creepy. His so called business as an architect is, again, mechanical with buzz words and meaningless business expressions. Utterly without any atmosphere. She meets similarly entitled friend for lunch. Dull dull dull dull. No tension, no personality. I thought 'why doesn't he just kill them all with a rusty ax and get it over with' Good money is being spent on this pointless, bland, predictable dross.
