I've just finished watching Season 1 of Thriller so here are my thoughts. I must admit that after watching the first episode of the series 'Lady Killer' which was quite good, I was a tad disappointed with the next episode 'Possession' and was contemplating whether or not to watch the rest of the season. However, I decided to carry on and I'm glad I did as there were some great episodes that followed.
The stand out episodes for me were 'Someone at the Top of the Stairs' very eerie with the young students feeling suitably spooked by the neighbours in the apartment they're renting, the 'Colour of Blood', Norman Eshley is superb here as a serial killer who escapes police custody and provides a chilling performance, 'File It Under Fear' where the people working in a local area are understandably paranoid about who might be behind a recent murder and the 'Eyes have it' where contract killers take over a venue for the blind as it's a perfect vantage point as they target a politician.
The stories are all original and the tension is palpable in the episodes, like you'd hope with good thrillers. I'm surprised only two people wrote the entire series (Brian Clemens and Terence Feely). They were clearly very gifted writers and story tellers.
The episodes might not have the production values we're used to today but the stories are innovative and generally engaging. I'm glad I kept with it as I enjoyed this Season and I'm looking forward to watching Season 2.
