I struggled a bit through 8 hours that could have easily been 4 or 5. At the end of it i realise they were trying to build the characters, some of which were, to be fair, pretty good. Nothing particularly original , however.
I liked all of the acting - the cast were brilliant and should be congratulated - but as 80% of the series was shot in the dark under a 30W lamp we could not always even see their faces! The director should perhaps go on a course on film lighting?
Overall I didn't feel disappointed I watched the series, but felt dissatisfied

Good story, nicely told, with great performances and sets
2 May 2017
The characters and acting were superb throughout, making this a very enjoyable film. I loved the story (apart from a couple of very minor flaws) and the sets. There was some good suspenseful moments of anticipation, without it becoming a horror film or too unpleasant. All the leads gave great performances. Recommended.

Very wooden and dull acting in a limp, unconvincing tale
1 May 2017
Tim Hutton was wooden in his acting and seemed to be not very interested in putting life into this tale. Some of the supporting actors/actresses did a good job, but overall I found it all a waste of time. There were no redeeming features by the end, for me. A thriller it most certainly was not.

Great acting from Alaina Huffman
23 February 2017
Quite a good story well executed, maybe some minor plot holes, but the reason I am bothering to comment is because of the outstanding, believable acting from Alaina Huffman. I loved the way the film started and gave you immediate sympathy for and empathy with the characters. Worth watching just for that.
