The Cry

The Cry wasn't given a huge deal of publicity, it kind of got lost amongst snappier dramas, such as Bodyguard, and Killing Eve. It deals with a pretty sad story, it's gritty, intriguing, moving, and does a great job making you feel things. As you watch you feel pity, hatred and justice, it's cleverly played out. Coleman's performance is very, very good, as it progresses it makes sense why she is how she is.

If I'm being honest, I'd say it feels padded at times, they could have perhaps condensed it into three hour parts, or two ninety minute parts, to make it a little snappier.

Overall it's very good, very moving. 8/10

I just watched the first 3 episodes today and WOW! Such a good show!!! Great twist in episode 3 that I didn't see coming. It seriously is fantastic! The actors are all great and it has a really solid plot, I'm gonna have to go buy the book and read it! You get hooked from the first episode.

On edge of seat throughout series. All cast very good but Jenna Coleman brilliant as the struggling new mother. The depth of her portrayal in the role was breathtaking and heartbreaking.

The Cry is a great mystery miniseries that echoes another Australian mystery movie A Cry In The Dark with a fantastic role by Meryl Streep. Also mentioned here is the Madeline Mccan disappearance. In all three cases the mother is not acting like a mother who's child has vanished. The myth that nothing makes a woman more happy than having a baby is roughly invalidated. Jenna Coleman in The Cry is equally calm and icy like her predecessors. The Heavy suspence and a pitch black atmosphere go very well together with the warm Australian light.

This is my first review, normally I read couple of reviews and decide whether I want to watch it or not. I decided to write this time because Jenna Coleman you were amazing! Your acting penetrated right to my bones... The script was well written and I loved every detail. I watched it in a day and haven't done that since high school. For those who are reading reviews don't waste any time here. Just go and watch this amazing show!

Ps. Don't forget a handkerchief, because it gets really emotional!
