It is a performances centric movie

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the best TV series I have watched for sometime.
From the writing to the acting and everything in between, it was just perfect.
Original and highly entertaining I wholeheartedly recommend the show.
Even now I still go back and watch the last 5 minutes again.

This mini series reaches a level of perfection not often found on modern television, let alone in six episodes. The acting is superb, particularly from the star, Stellan Scarsgård, who plays the title character River. He uses restraint that occasionally bursts through his usual reserve. The writing is glorious and creative with a big twist you don't expect. Again Scarsgård could've held court alone and with the writing and cinematography backing him up. But the terrific supporting cast adds an entirely new dimension to River the show and character. There's plenty of action to please those that need it. Yet it transcends your run of the mill detective show to please the biggest tv snob! I hope we'll see River again soon. Thank you Netflix for bringing this beauty to us across the pond!

River is part regular entertaining police story. The biggest plus goes to the incredible acting. Every actor blows me away, in every scene. Unfortunately, the main character is a disturbed man who suffers from hallucinations that bother him, but also the viewer, to the point where all credibility is lost and a lot of the sympathy will be gone.That is not the actor's fault, because he plays this character flawlessly. However, his illness and his hallucinations add so much to the character, but nothing to the story and what surprises the most, is how this man can keep doing his work (which he does great somehow). This series is one of many that falls into its own trap, by trying to be unique and special, while without that, it would have been not special, but just simply very, very good.If you watch it for a compelling story, it will be mediocre. If you watch it for the character, their development and relations, be amazed.
