AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

jc-osms And so yet another story about a missing child and the disappearance's affect on parents, friends and communities. Set in London and with a varied cast of characters, to say the least, this was gritty and at times hard-to-watch drama. Particularly as it drew to its anti-climactic finish, scenes where a teenage boy uses information about the missing child to force the girl's mother into having sex with him and an excruciatingly disturbing auction amongst low-life deviants to buy a little girl might have had some viewers reaching for the off button.For me, it was all just a little too full on. The main character played by series writer Lennie James answers to the unlikely name of Nellie and runs about everywhere in a bright yellow bubble jacket. On the face of it a likeable rogue, look deeper and you see a guy casually flitting from woman to woman, mooching favours from all and sundry, who's abandoned his daughter years ago when an out of the blue message from her on his mobile phone before she's abducted sets up the events which follow.About that varied mix of characters, prominent amongst Nellie's friends is a guy who goes by the name of Melon previously convicted of corrupting an underage girl, only she's stood by him although not without lingering doubts as to his continuing proclivities no doubt as she moves past her own teenage years, a transvestite with a heart of gold, a group of young jeering teenagers who may know more about matters than at first seems, all of Nellie's ex and current girlfriends, including the one who mothered Jodi many years ago and who he's never quite got over and her slightly shady new husband so willing to try anything to erase her memories of Nellie he'll go to loan sharks to get reward money for news on the girl's disappearance.As usual when these shows play out over 6 episodes, there are several sub-plots, red herrings and false climaxes en route, although I can't deny the last episode was gripping if tough to watch. The acting was as you'd expect given the subject matter, deadly serious and mostly overdone by all. I found the direction unnecessarily quirky too with surreally strange background scenes inserted just for their weirdness it seemed to me. I also found the dialogue unrealistic in too many scenes for what purportedly was a near-too-real-life drama.At the end of it all and after watching a slew of similarly themed programmes of late, I was quite drained and glad it was over.Any happy-go-lucky shows out there just for a change?

mezzaitaliana-89131 Excellent drama around child sex trade, and peadophilia. Lennie James eats up the screen as the absent father in a race to find his daughter. As with other reviews, the ending was frustrating

weinstockstfleur-22710 This show is in every way amazing , i serioulsy created an account just so you guys wont be discouraged from the negative reviews this had excellent acting ,great story line and very very much thrilling plot. D o yourself a favor and watch

beckypriddey The first episode although not overwhelming, was gripping enough to make me watch another episode. The series seemed to get better, and as a massive Lennie James fan I stuck out some questionable "accents" and far fetched ideas.I feel like watching this series was an absolute waste of my time, the ending seemed to have no conclusion or resolve, and in fact made very little to no sense. After tearing through the strip clubs and the shadiest corners of London to find his girl, with no luck. Everything goes back to how it was before, laughing and joking, finishing where they started in the pub! Waste of time..... very disappointing, for something with potention and with a real raw and profound storyline.
