Glue (2014)
4/10
Unfortunately, Hollyoaks meets Midsommer Murders
12 January 2023
For a start, there was barely enough material here for 4 episodes, never mind 8. I can't recall where I read it but someone from the entertainment business pointed out that films need about 2 hours worth of material whereas on TV, writers seem to believe they can hold our attention for nearly 8 hours.

If you have something like Breaking Bad, then no problem. Here, despite having an award winning writer, the whole thing had a horrible resemblance to a school play.

The main set of characters were 20 somethings, entirely unlikeable and little more than cliches of empty headed kids which is a bit of a travesty. The rural setting for multiple murders was hardly convincing and a pile of non-essential subplots that never went anywhere didn't help.

A waste of effort. We watched it so you don't have to.
