Reviews

SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
p-m-p-o13 An absolute masterpiece that was canceled way before its time.
david-569 I know. Pie in the sky request. But for whatever it is worth, felt the premise of the program to be most excellent. Scintillating. Tim Roth's performance was spot on. Just enough quirky, just enough over the top, just enough. Supporting cast also excellent. But in hopes that someone hears this... please bring this back. Given the recent election cycle, there is more than enough mendacity to supply a plethora of scripts and story lines. We need Dr. Lightman now more than ever today. And no problem to bring along Lightman's sub plot of his daughter who would be in her 20s. It would be the berries to bring this back.
annaily This show was pretty good. I think it lost steam and was canceled because of the turn to focus on the character's personal life and less so on the cases, which I agree was a bad choice: one that would be good in a movie but not in a series because people watch for each episodes individual story-line and case (think: house, law and order, etc). But I have a different complaint: the facial expressions in this show are so exaggerated. I am very observant and I've never seen anyone make the expressions that the characters make in this show. It's so exaggerated. A character will be very obviously scrunch their face up in disgust when asked about someone they "like," and then lie and say they like them, and then he will be like "aha oh why are you disgusted with her" and the character is like "what? No I'm not?!" And it's just like.... That was obvious. No one talks and uses the expressions the way they made the characters do in this show. It was so unnatural and exaggerated. This would be easy to overlook if it wasn't the whole premise and didn't happen like 10 times in every episode. It ruined it for me.
Baseleius I mean Tim Roth excellent acting display .... One of the most intense serials and it needs new season as soon as possible ;)... Acting is for pure 10 of 10 as well as story line ... I watched all seasons few times and i just start watching them again :) ...I am so focused on episodes and Tim Roth Character Kal that i started to dress and react as him in real life :) it is so cool when u surprise someone by saying he is busted in lie :) ... To short a typing definitely in need of new seasons fast :DOr a movies to finish the story about Kal and his life and life work as well as science he is investigating ....
