it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This show is one of the best I've watched in a long time. It is the only 1 season show that has such full and complex characters, even the side characters change during the course of the plot. I love this show for being honest with the issues that the characters face. It can be dark at times, but it is worth it to see the changes that come about as they all work together to get through their problems. I'd give it a 20/10 if I could. I wish there were more shows like this. And I'm also glad that it is only one season. Sometimes after a successful season the creators want to drag it on for another season, which just make the quality drastically decrease. It's amazing as a one off.

Watched the first episode last night, and it really had a chance to be something good: a good plot, seemingly good actors, but the direction was awful. There was so much mood and music, so many overhead shots to let us know where we were, so much fooling with the colors of the images and the lighting, and so little attention to actually working on the plot and directing the actors. We had eight or nine episodes on the DVR, and neither one of us could work up the interest to fight through all the meta-performance and see where the story went. When you compare it to something like, "The Guilty," which we just watched recently, you see the difference: focus on the acting and the plot so that you got really involved in the story and were really interested to see how it all worked out in the end.

Eyewitness is one of the best things on TV I would say. It's not something that has a lot humor and if you can't watch drama, probably not your show, which is okay. However, it's not a show that is gonna make you depressed to watch. It has a very good story line and plot, it is not simply just about Philip and Lukas witnessing the murder and struggling with not being able to tell, mostly because of Lukas being paranoid of people finding out he's gay. There are many plot lines in this, like a ex FBI agent (now Philip's foster mom and sheriff in a small town), a FBI agent with a sister in serious trouble, and of course the killer. So you aren't just seeing things from Lukas and Philip's eyes. The writing is not predictable and you will be surprised and entertained.This isn't a show that is in poor LGBT taste, there aren't any gay stereotypes in this.This cast is really great, despite the fact that most of these actors aren't known. everyone on the show does a amazing job, I really love what the actors who play Philip and Lukas are doing.

one of the boys, Lukas, is very popular, he enjoys motocross and has a girlfriend, Rose. He's terrified of being outed, and goes to extreme measures to make sure he's seen as Extra Straight. The other boy, Philip, is new to town, he's being fostered by the sheriff and her husband, he films Lukas's bike riding, and doesn't care if people know he's gay. Living in a small town is frightening for a young LGBTQ+ person, and Lukas is relatable representation for the internalized homophobia and anxiety most people face in his situation. Dealing with the confusion of his feelings and PTSD from the murder they witness is difficult, and he's trying his best. Philip doesn't go around shouting that he's gay, but he also doesn't hide it. When asked, he will tell the truth, and he doesn't put up with the things Lukas does in his struggle, but he doesn't shame the other boy for it either. There's also multiple other main characters who get lots of screen time showing their plots, gang members, cops, FBI agents, other teenagers. It's a murder-mystery, so all the plots are tied together in some way, explaining everything.
