Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
stairways The. Best. TV. Detective show/short drama. Ever. Stunning script. Flawless, moving acting, beautiful cinematography. Humour and heartbreak. Exceptional. Nothing else comes close. Watch it. Then watch it again
StreamingEagle I really enjoyed the one season of this show. Complex, entertaining characters form the foundation for a unique show. It is a shame that they only had one season because it is better than most things on TV.
Luce So glad I found this. Genuine masterpiece. Acting is believable and tender. The plot is complicated but not unbelievable. It has grit and charm and love and pathos and comedy and music. "Sing! You nutter"
timcurryis god "River" is a police/ crime drama that stands out from so many others. It's very human. It tells a story that most people can relate to in one way or another. The development of the two main characters, "River," and his partner, "Stevie," is enjoyable to watch. The more we get to know who Stevie was, the more we know who River is. Much of what I liked about this series is sensory; beyond just the story line; rainy London streets and city lights, the soundtrack...and as we are seeing things from the point of view (mostly) of River, we see Stevie through his eyes, too. She is beloved. This is one of those rare series where once you've finished the last episode, you'll want to go right back to the first one again. And that's saying something; because there's only one season. Heartbreaking, warm, suspenseful. Just beautiful. Although Stellan Skarsgard very adeptly and tenderly plays the role of "River," I have to admit now I want to go back and watch everything Nicola Walker (who plays "Stevie") ever did.
