    Better than average mystery, and far better than anything produced in America

    This miniseries requires constant attention. Binge watching is a must. Contains some of Britain's best talent, in mystery of twists and turns.

    Complicated and confusing

    "Hidden" is a four-part British thriller starring Philip Glenister and Thekla Reuten.

    The story is wild, one of those government corruption tales. Government corruption is feasible, and in real life there were riots in Britain and resignations of officials. But there were other elements of this plot that put it on the fanciful side.

    Glenister is Harry Ven, a solicitor, is asked by attorney Gina Hawkes (Reuten) to find a alibi witness for her client. This witness also has information about Ven's late brother Mark 20 years earlier.

    The plot takes off from there into a political conspiracy. This includes a plan to take over the government by a billionaire. He has an assassination bureau that gets rid of anyone in their way.

    David Suchet plays Sir Nigel Fountain, a relative of Hawkes', and he's amazing. At first I didn't recognize him.

    The end is a downer because it really doesn't end. There's ambiguous and there's nothing - this was nothing.

    The acting was good, with Philip Glenister attractive in a disheveled kind of way and totally believable.

    Okay.

    Both fascinating and infuriating

    The premise of this sounded great, and since it is a limited series, I figured, "What the heck?" I have to say that on the whole I was impressed with the show - pacing, intricate plotting, etc. Were all first-rate. However, there are two major issues I have with it:

    1 - For the most part, it is very difficult to empathize with many of the characters in this story. In particular, the main character, Harry Venn, is rather coarse and unlikeable. I've not seen Philip Glenister in anything else, so from this one show alone, I have no idea if the man is capable of smiling or not. And almost all of the other characters are equally unlikeable at the very least. Smarmy politicians and sociopathic killers predominate.

    2 - There is at least one (if not several) major plot line that is never fully explained. I won't risk a spoiler here by describing it in detail, but trust me, you will feel just as irritated as I did when the show finishes and you're left with a mammoth "Huh?"

    All that said, though, it's still a viscerally exciting run of a few hours. I just think they might have invested perhaps one more episode to tie up some of the loose ends.

    The Cell Phone

    This should have been renamed The Cell Phone because that's all they did was call people on cell phones and drive in cars. Very strange series. It was confusing and very far fetched. I still gave it 4 stars because it wasn't very boring and the acting was good.

    The ending was a complete disaster. It made me feel like I wasted hours. This is why my rating was so low. The only thing I can think of is that they were hoping for another series. Yeah right. I've never seen so much cell phone conversations and close ups in my life. It became irritating. Chases and cell phones. Then close ups of sweaty faces. It's worth a watch but don't bother getting into it while doing so.

    That's four hours of my life I won't get back!

    Watched this series, thought it seemed interesting. Watched till the end waiting for the explanations, well the show has finished and no explanations so I have absolutely no idea what it was all about! People getting killed some kind of conspiracy, more people getting killed, the end.

    Don't waste your time
