You won't be disappointed!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I just watched the final episode (finally over, thank god) and listen, please don't waste your time. Love Ramsay Bolton, but trust me, this does no justice to Iwan. What was that ending all about. The stupiest, out of character ending - left me just shaking my head. The first few episodes were ok, but then it just got worse and worse, so many scenes that just made you think that it was all so silly. Beautiful location, not much else - sorry Iwan.

First half: A slowly unravelling mystery around a rich art dealers death seen through his widows eyes. Very enticing plot development and pace, great settings, outfits, direction, editing etc. Second half: A bit of a mess that never recovers. Im not sure if all the episodes where written by the same people and didn't bother to check. But the second half of the series was seriously lacking in all above mentioned areas, except setting and outfits which didn't change. Not much made sense, and the quality of the whole show plummeted to a cable channel daytime soap opera level. Watch it if you have nothing to kill some time with, or leave it on in the background while you make use of your time otherwise. Don't expect any brilliant twists or a great ending.

Just watched the final episode after which i realised i had no idea of what had been going on, i.e., who exactly was fighting who and for what reason, what everyone was after and why. a total waste of time. yeah, the scenery was nice, but it's just as nice out my window. utterly nonsensical. TV may be undergoing a renaissance with programmes like the sopranos, the wire, breaking bad, etc - all of which were excellent - but you'd never know it from tosh like this, or the current unbelievably awful top of the lake: china girl, which in fact is bad enough to be good. jane campion is supposed to be a quality director, but you'd never know it from that mess.

Okay, the show started out promising. The main character was not like a typical barbie doll that is usually cast in a main role of similar shows. She had a rough exterior but a solid personality of a good kindly girl. The authors took care to built up her character with each episode creating an image of a girl that enjoys the perks of being rich but has morals, true values and a desire to get to the truth no matter how painful. All in all very relatable. The audience empathizes with her and overlooks her awkwardness. All is going smoothly until it's time to end the show. 10 minutes before the end of the series the authors decide to make her into a vengeful psychopathic killer. I mean, I usually like a good twist in a story but COME ON! This was nowhere near an elegant ending. I couldn't believe how bad it sucked. I mean, it's just isn't done this way. It's like the authors just stopped caring and so they asked some junkie from the street to finish the show up for them. Don't waste your time!
