First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the tv show I liked it and I had high expectations about it. Eventually, it was a nice tv show and I enjoyed it. The plot of the tv show was interesting and mysterious, but not innovative because there are too many shows similar to this one. The storyline was well-written, well-explained and easy to understand. The characters of the show were interesting, well-developed and likeable (except, the bad guys). The casting was nice and their performances were descent. I have to admit, it was an intense show, suspenseful and enjoyable. In my opinion, the final three episodes were probably the best part of the show. The plot twist was definitely unpredictable and I really liked it. The killcount of the show was bloody and some death scenes were brutal. Also, the cinematography and the score of the show were both very well done. Overall, "Stay Close" was a nice mystery/thriller tv show, intense and I would probably recommend it to my friends.
The draw was Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt and a UK crime drama. The premise is, do we ever really know someone? The questions are: Are we a product of our past? Can we escape the errors of our past? Great casting. Great performances. Great locations around the iconic DREAM memorial in Sutton Manor Park, Saint Helen's, UK. I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10. {Police Procedural}
The first three episodes are good, but it rapidly starts going downhill once you reach the "people doing stupid things just to drive the plot" stage, and it gets even worse when you get to the "defiant teen thinks she's super smart" stage. And don't forget the random, happy, dancing assassin couple.
So, so stupid. I'm on episode 5 and about to press the eject button. I don't think there's any way I can make it any further.

How many ex spies/assassins/trained killers/hookers/ mob enforcers are there in your PTA meeting? If television and mystery writers are to be believed, there are thousand of them picking up young Madison or Dakota from soccer practice right now. They are just hiding their pasts until some hapless yokel attacks them, and out comes the karate and the gun slinging.
In this case, Megan is happily ensconced in her new life as a mother and wife when she gets a visit from an old friend. The audience only has to wait one episode before Megan beats the crap out of a couple of bad guys and two episodes before she meets up with the delightful Eddie Izard as one of her old running buddies.
Unfortunately, there isn't enough Eddie Izard to.get over all the cliches that drag this series. The rest of it bounces between "predictable" and "why am I wasting my time?"
Although the acting was fine, the whole show was so blandly familiar that I gave up.
The "5" is for any series with Eddie.

After finishing this mini-series and reading many of the reviews, I'm convinced most were written by 14-year old boys with the attention span of sparrows. This is as well written, acted, directed, and produced as anything available to stream. Just stay with it, and you'll not be disappointed.
