Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
xoxchelc-leighxox Two words - Lesley Sharp. How has she slipped under the radar of most of the British public for so long, clearly true fans of drama have already noticed her but it just goes to show that it really is all about looks and a celebrities personal life... anyway,anyway,anyway. What people want from a drama series is exactly that - drama! Many programmes rely on a romance or comedy to keep the storyline going but Afterlife doesn't, every episode provides a new and original situation in which many people may have faced. My favourite episode is probably 'Things Forgotten', not only is there the main storyline of sexual abuse but the underlying message of 'what if this is all there is?' and after all the drama of life has disappeared is it true that we just become ordinary? The sheer brilliance of Lesley Sharp comes through in the episode where her father returns and she finally faces up to her past. Many actors would've overplayed this completely but I was kept in awe of Lesley when she broke down and was utterly vulnerable,her performance was and always is so naturalistic that she isn't just a character on television, she IS that person... The final episode had me absolutely shaking with tears because what I had been watching for the past year or so had become like reality to me, I had grown to know and love Alison and Robert and for the series to end was distressing for me. 5 years later I still cannot believe that this series was cut. Ridiculous. Anyway there's my rant over, I hope you enjoyed Afterlife as much as I have.
robert langdon afterlife is simply the best TV series to ever have been shown on itv. lesley sharp and andrew lincolin star in a horror drama that has spanned for two series and constantly produced the goods.alison (sharp) is a medium who helps spirits complete there unfinished business who befriends psychologist robert (lincolin) who in turn begins to write a book about alisons experiences this leads us to episode after episode of fantastic British scares, dialogue and acting.each episode has its own spirit from aborted children to perverted murderers each having a story to tell along the way making you grip to the arm of the person sitting next to you. and if scary spirits isn't your thing there's plenty of drama and brilliant acting to keep you watching. its clever quirky and the vision of the directing is amazing, a must watch British drama. fantastic
katiehedley Although I wouldn't class it as terrifying, this certainly isn't one for the faint-hearted. The characters are well-developed and interesting, and I can never wait until the next episode. I can't believe there will only be six episodes! The first episode, about the girl and her lavender-scented mother, was predictable but still chilling and a good watch. The second, about the drowned girl, was fear-inducing, and made you think a lot. I really like the way it was done. Watch it if you can manage catch it - most of us have busy schedules nowadays! - but don't let your kids watch it, especially if they get nightmares easily. Overall, it's a spooky, fascinating take on a subject never really addressed or looked at in much detail, so I assume most people will find it quite unique and VERY different; I did, and I'm the world's biggest critic (well, sort of.)
Stockard How great is this show! I think ITV are on to a winner with this one, i seriously hope they treat it properly and not like so many of their other dramas which they push around the schedules or axe completely, if they feel it isn't doing well enough ratings wise.We are on episode 2 in the UK now, i know Australia has seen all the episodes - lucky! I really can't wait to see them all, and i hope we can all look forward to another series because it would be such a shame to stop after just one, and to let such talented actors as Lesley and Andrew go! There seems to be quite a few fans of Alison and Robert's relationship - glad to know i'm not the only one! x
