ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

AlienByChoice I watched an episode of Frost last night for the first time after a long long break, and for the life of me I could not figure out why I liked it so much 10 years ago. The plot was almost laughable, the acting is terrible - at times too understated, at times just over the top, the premise for the stories is ridiculous, the dialogues seem to be written by a 12 year old, and the music is taken straight out of 1980's porn movies. And then it hit me - A Touch of Frost is really a British soap opera disguised as crime/mystery drama. All of its deficiencies that I listed above, plus the seemingly low budget, are what soap fans love about Coronation Street. It's no surprise, therefore, that I found Frost to be not the very least entertaining - I can't stand Coro street either. At that stage I also realised why I was struggling to understand the connection between the name of the episode I watched and the its plot. In fact, there was no connection between the two, because rather than relating to the specific episode, its name was actually describing the state of the series of a whole. A Dead End indeed.

howard78 The series is based on the novels of R.D. Wingfield. Each episode is about 1 hour 45 minutes. The show came out in 1992 and aired for 13 years. The lead, Det. Frost is a quirky but brilliant investigator. Although the episodes move slowly, there is a great deal of character development in the show, far beyond that of Law and Order and all other American crime shows. Much more empathy and compassion is shown in the way victim's families are portrayed and their pains explored. Where the show really excels is in the acting. The acting is simply brilliant. Off the charts! I've never seen anything like it on TV. Even the bit players are consummate performers. It's like watching fabulous theater. I recommend this series highly for those who will relish the acting as well as the slow, detailed pace. How

petra-59 "A Touch of Frost" is one of many British Police Crime dramas: Midsomer Murders, Taggart, Morse, Wycliffe – there seem to be several of them. But Frost is undoubtedly the best. The handful of novels by R.D. Wingfield that inspired this series, are complex and deeply satisfying. The TV series is first class. The stories are good, and the characters real and believable. Frost, thank goodness, is flawed. He seems to be incapable of sustaining a relationship with a woman. His relationship with Chief Superintendent Mullet is not the one-dimensional one of animosity that we have come to expect in police shows. Mullet shows a grudging respect for Frost, and Frost, untidy and hating paperwork, seems to have some respect for Horn-Rim Harry, as he refers to his superior officer. Certainly Mullet occasionally protects Frost from his own impetuousness. Frost is not above bending the rules, even going so far as to frame a suspect he is certain committed a series of crimes. And there is humour in this series, something lacking in most police shows, a lightening of the tension. There are no car chases, no foul language, and no fighting. But the series is tops. There are 36 episodes in the 12 series released on DVD. And those episodes will provide excellent entertainment for the discerning viewer.

palexandersquires first of all, I think that this series is brilliant, I would not like to work for Mullet, he seems too strict!! I like Jack 's stuff the rules, attitudes to his work, To me he seems to like to do things His way, and Mullet always questions his motive's, but in the end Jack is always right, that chap at the beginning of the episode did murder the victim or do the hit and run. I am collecting that new magazine/DVD series of 32 issues. I think that Jack should keep his office,in order.This would help him find files quicker. I also liked the episode with Kia the dog! as he barked when Mullet was about to tell Jack off, and Mullet said, "get rid of the dog". so every time Kia saw him, he would bark! Jack said, " that dog grows on me,anyone thought of making him chief constable!" I say, "Why not" I also think that I should be Mullet! long may this series continue. I like Mullet 's office, the way it has been done.
