15 Days

I watch mostly all UK series. I was sick of sifting thru stuff and saw the one ad review on my phone. I watched til the end. I thought it was decent. I didn't like the hurried ending but I've turned off a bunch of series 20 min in the last few nights. This is creepy. They could have done a bit more back ground on the characters and yes the ending wasn't all that but I think it was a decent thrilling watch...

Slow burner, superbly well acted intricate and depressing story of family of 4 children arguing over the inheritance of their parents estate. (Sure makes me glad to be an only child!). Nearly all characters are unlikeable and have sinister intentions or back stories. Not sure it was worth the 4 hours. Could've been done in half that.

I only started watching to see Catherine Tyldesley who I'd seen in Coronation Street some years ago when I used to watch it. I was curious to see what she could do with another part and she is terrific in this story about a dysfunctional family who meet up in Wales to scatter their mother's ashes and sort out the farm estate. It is melodrama but exceptionally well acted by the entire cast, even though they are on the whole, unlikeable. In spite of that I found it to be compelling viewing, loved it, unlike other reviewers here.

What do you get when you combine a badly written script, massively over-emoting cliched characters, unnecessary human and animal brutality, and a contested will? 15 days. Thank the stars it was only four episodes.

Not sure why the rating is so low for the show but it's pretty decent. You don't know 'whodunnit' until maybe the last two minutes of the show and it's not who you would expect. I recommend it.
