At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
View MoreIf you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
View MoreThis would have to be the best series I've ever seen. It's fast paced, thrilling and every actor is brilliant, please watch it you will love it as much as I do its so well done.
View MoreThe first few episodes in Series 1 were really good but by episode 4, the writer seemed to have lost the plot and started to develop ridiculous situations that were beyond fantasy. This was not helped by miscasting. What holds the viewers attention is not the plot but more the private lives of the characters. The lead actor is not a physically imposing personality, and one just keeps wanting to put him in his pajamas and send him off to bed! I'm not saying it's not watchable, it's just not that great!
View MoreStandard crime procedurals follow a formula. 1. Find bad guy 2. Build up bad guy 3. Quickly wrap up the ending and catch bad guy because the episode is closing on the end time. We're all used to seeing that, that we don't have the time to appreciate the characters and villains.Line of Duty, this one I stumbled on Netflix. The premise didn't sound that exciting to me at first, I mean it was about internal affiars, "how exciting could that be?" I asked. And boy was I happy to be wrong. I hadn't binged watched a TV show since I was introduced to "Person of Interest".Instead of one episode being about one "villain", rather it's a whole season for one "villain". And no season is the same, which is another good thing. So we are treated to an entire season where the target of the Internal Affairs Officers are fleshed out. First you're wary of the target, then you become sympathetic, then your wary again! But something else happens and now you're even more sympathetic. And on and on it goes until the final climax that has your eyebrows rising bast your hairline, and your jaw on the floor. Okay, I'm hyping it up excessively here so be careful. But the point is that this show takes the time and effort to flesh out everyone. The targets aren't just "mwahahaha, I'm an evil psycopath" or "I did it for revenge!" cliches that are littered in crime procedurals. They are very human characters that you might even become attached to.Definitely worth a watch.
View MoreI came across this show on Netflix one night, the general rule for unknown shows is to watch the first episode to get a feel for it before considering watching anymore. Life's to short to waste on bad TV.After the first episode of this show I watched the entire season 1 that same evening. Season 2 the following day. Because there's only 5-6 episodes a season the story moves along quickly, The acting is excellent the stories are well written you can't see where it's going and it's highly addictive. If you plan to watch it give yourself time because you probably won't just watch one. Because the suspects are coppers and know the system and how to play it, it makes for a gripping time. Do yourself a favour and watch it first episode and get cooked. Enjoy
