Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Sulla-2 All in all it was very good. I have seen it twice and on the second time didn't recognise the killer till half and hour from the end..... My little criticism concerns the identification parade. When the parade is done behind darkened glass, there is no way it can be done unless the suspect is legally represented to insure fair play. They is absolutely no way that any legal representative would allow Melcalfe to accompany is deaf wife during the proceedings. He was in an ideal position to inform his wife of the suspects number. She should have been accompanied by a proper interpreter. Any evidence gained at the parade would have been a waste of time. The rules are that any officer involved in the investigation is not even allowed to be in the same building !!
shu-fen Just by chance I watched the very last episode of M2 on TV yesterday evening. At the beginning, I cannot tell exactly whether it's a USA or UK production because the language is not specific. Then I found out it was filmed in Northern Ireland with American actors. Demystified.I need to track down the first few episodes, and I am also waiting for M3 as the local TV channel promised, then I can draw a fairer conclusion later. Solely on this episode, the plot is predictable and a little out-of-moded. What attracts me is that I wanted to see how the revenge would be done. When Anna (Sara) threatened to end the life of Duncan's boy, I thought, just like in most US TV series, she would stab the scissors into his neck, kick him from high and try to flee. When she let him off, I thought she would be running off. She did none of them, instead she stabbed her own neck and fell down in front of Duncan and Red. She did it out of despair, I suppose, when she was told her ex-judge father protected his male lover all through his life but not her.When hatred enters and harbours in a heart, if it is not released, it festers and grows stinkingly. The avenging angel (devil?) Anna finally loses almost everything but the hurt she did on Duncan. I don't see any salvation in this "Messiah", I need to dig out why it is titled as such. I hope M3 will come sooner and see how the "promise" is fulfilled. Now what I should do is to look for M1, it should be interesting to see how Michelle Forbes manage to learn sign language within six days.
orion-slave I loved this; I loved Messiah. Now I'm hoping for a Messiah 3.It was dark, I admit, but I had to keep watching because the plot never slowed down. It wasn't afraid to jump into really dark and unpleasant issues - pretty brutal crimes and the like. And it was nice and progressive, with all different kinds of people from a big cross-section of society.And I never would have guessed who really did it (that's not a spoiler is it?)
Nick Gondolo This is the first Messiah I have seen, and I found it really excellent. You would be hard pushed to find something more gruesome but nonetheless as gripping as this.**Definite spoiler ahead**. I am a big devotee of British TV and I was pleased to see Neil from The Office and Vincent Regan, who I only know from Hard Men, in something else. It was great trying to guess who the killer was, but who would have thought that Thermoman's lovely little girlfriend could do all those things?It was mentioned at the laundry that the planning for all the murders was meticulous, but how was she strong enough to get Jenny Collier into one of those sacks and up on the track, and why was she so determined that Russ Collier should suffer so much? I mean he hadn't done anything to her. Also how had she figured out so exactly who the real murderers were in each case? Why was there no mention of a daughter in the original Heard case? I felt these points weren't quite explained enough. But maybe I'm just a bit dim. Nevertheless, a damned good scary tale!!
