The Oath

Who invented this shaky camera filming? He should be banned from filmmaking for the rest of her/his life. It is horrible and makes me a headache. This would have been so good with descent directing. Now it's awful.

I just could not keep my eyes on the screen for this ridiculous camera work! I ended up running the series as background when doing other things, only looking at the TV - Actually, mostly at the closed captioning - when something really important happened. The nearly constant bouncing and shaking and twisting and turning of the camera along with the extreme close-ups was giving me a headache, so I turned on the CC and then focused on only listening to the dialogue. As other reviewers mentioned, a sadly under-used Sean Bean, too, made this a disappointing experience, along with the use of some tired cliches. Still, the story itself was engaging enough to keep me following to the end. Conclusion : something to put on when you need something to listen to while doing other things.

So i just finished the whole season ,, a quick review , i'd say it is difinitly not as good as i expected ... but >>

The show with each and every episode keeps you somewhat interested and looking for more to know how things will end for this "police gang".

The plot is strong, but i think the script was a bit stretched and sometimes a little dull ,, i mean this could have been a really good 3/4 hours episodes show "Like what we see on BBC2" and it would've been fast strong and even more attracting.

talking Cast, they all were really good well engaging actors , you can't move on without bringing Sean Bean , as in the first 4-5 episode you'd think he has a minor role , appearing in prison a couple times, but hen after you'll see him more ,, you'll like him, then hate him then like him again :D but yeah over all the whole cast were good.

but again maybe Crackle after they have changed to "Sony Crackle" wanted to pop up with the new Sony mask ,, who knows ,, but again , the show was okay, it grows with each hour , but as i said,, it needs a bit more work on the directing.

Just stop it with the shaky cam it makes your head spin, sean bean is used so little the story is already confusing and this makes for an extremely dissapointing series was looking forward to this but gosh its as if a school boy with nervous hands made it stay away!!!

Watched because two of my favorite actors, Cory Hardrict and Sean Bean are in it. The 1st 3 episodes are very confusing as you try to piece what's going on, who's who, which is normal. Then I was hooked and can't wait for season 2. It's no Power but definitely worth watching.
