The Cry

I'm not sure there are very many actors that could have navigated the roller coaster of emotions as deftly as Jenna Coleman did in the role of Joanna. She never missed a beat, consistent with any role she has inhabited. My only criticism of this series is the slow, sometimes plodding, pace of the storytelling. The twists and turns lose their tension when the pace allows the audience to solve the mysteries before they are revealed. The power of this piece is not in the storytelling but in the subtleties of the performances, especially Jenna Coleman, Asher Keddie and Stella Gonet. They convey the narrative more effectively than the dialogue. Be patient, this is a good watch. I give this limited series an 8 (great performances) out of 10. {Mystery Drama}

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.

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!

Bit dubious before I watched the first episode but soon got me interested and curious. Bit of a similar Maddie situation but has its own story to tell. Love the interaction between Scotland and Australia and all the actors play their role well. Well worth the effort.

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.
