Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Ed-Shullivan A has been celebrity straight man from a successful comedy team is accused of a rape (by his daughter's former babysitter) that had occurred decades earlier. Subsequently a few other women come forward and also charge Paul with sexual misconduct so Paul (Robbie Coltrane) hires an expensive cracker jack law firm and a private detective to dig into these accusers past and one by one their accusations are proven without merit, except for the (former) babysitter's accusation.Paul's wife, a devout Catholic, named Marie (Julie Walters) and an ardent supporter of her pig of a husband Paul, they have come to an agreement that as long as Paul always tells her about his extra marital affairs the next day she can tolerate his infidelities. Their daughter Dee (Andrea Riseborough) is a mother of two, divorced from her husband and is undergoing treatment for a severe drug dependency as well as emotional scars from her childhood living with her parents unconventional lifestyle.The interactions between mother/wife Marie, husband/father Paul, and their daughter Dee, are constant dialogues of dribble that quite frankly belong more in a daytime soap opera than in an evening dramatic courtroom tv mini-series. By episode 3 I was hoping for some twists and turns but they just never materialized. By the series ending 4 episode I honestly did not care if Paul was guilty or not but after investing 3 hours into the program already Mrs. Shullivan and I took a break, watched a hockey game (our Toronto Maple Leafs won their franchise winning 13th straight game at home) and then returned to watch the lat episode. Guilty or not guilty? I won't spoil it for anybody because as far as I am concerned the whole four (4) episodes were non-descript pieces of light melodrama that were not worth watching in the first place.I give the series a 4 out of 10 rating.

Karl Ericsson The only redeeming factor about this production is that it was done Before "me too". Otherwise what's the Point of doing a film of a fat guy being accused of rape and leave it open if he was guilty or not, leaning towards him being guilty. If he had been slender and the "anyone for Tennis?"-kind of guy kthat would have been different. But that's not the case here. Here it's the fat slob getting caught. This could have been so much better, especially seen through the "mee too" Campaign which, most admiringly brings up a very important issue but does not fully convey the risks involved. The Three stars is for the redeeming fact that the guy was rich and not only fat and therefore Worth some kind of whooping.

watcher410 This was a great series. Here is a question: Why didn't Karl come clean in his testimony? It seems like Paul's wife wanted him to testify in way that would confirm the raped woman's version. Did Karl decide that he didn't like her after having spent all those years wishing she could be his?

bluebruen I loved Julie Walter's performance in this movie...the best thing about the movie. You can see her struggling with herself to not only understand her husband's character but her own. She is forced to examine her life and relationships with family and friends. 4 Episodes. Well worth the time to watch.
