One of Us: Un tueur parmi nous

Well...... I have just binge watched this fabulous powerful well written drama it was astounding. There are a few interlocking stories linked up to the main one n they are all superb. It has been a long while since I have seen something of this calibre.

The acting was excellent n the characters were so believable n fit in beautifully with the story.

The ending was a completely gobsmacked experience n totally unexpected n unpredictable.

I highly recommend this series especially if you like intense dark n suspenseful drama.

The characters are complex and nuanced as are the performances for most. Others like the brother Rob are marred in just being a plot device rather than fully formed person. The parents get the best stuff and while there's lots of nail biting and the furious smoking of a cigarette- and why wouldn't there be- they each unravel, piece by piece, righteousness, judgement, martyrdom, cowardice, greed and of course, hypocrisy. All of it. It's Greek tragedy.

This is a totally mesmerizing series. There is almost a subplot for every character all of which interweave to reveal the bigger mystery.

Each character has realistic and sometimes horrible motives, sometimes the person is just weak. No matter, all motives are completely believable and keep the plot twisted.

Plus the acting is phenomenal. I could not recommend this show more strongly.

Great first episode, the rest are a bit sluggish. There's a few separate stories being told and I expected them to weave together, but in the end they were kept separate. The ending was unexpected, but felt drawn out. Good acting and cinematography.

I'm looking for more UK series to watch and realized I saw this and thought I left a review. Very good mystery, crime, thriller. Th guy from the fall ( one of my all time favorite's ) is in this. If you like good thrillers, who dun it's you'll enjoy this.
