Steineded How sad is this?
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
charlesj-morin001 I recently discovered this series and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am also glad that I am not the only one to notice the references to the character Richard Sharpe. I have read every one of Bernard Cromwell's books and you can't ignore the constant references to John Marlott's past life that mirrors Richard Sharpe. The boy whistling "Over the Hill and Far Away." Marlott's reference of him being in the 95'th Rifles, and being at the Battle of Waterloo. The time when Marlott took his shirt off while bathing showing off scaring on his back (In the Shapre books, the main character was once punished by flogging), and in episode five when Marlott retrieved his pistol, it showed his old dark green army uniform, similar to the one Sharpe wore as a member of the 95th.. I wonder if all this was the doing of Sean Bean. if it was, then it compels the viewer to pay especially close attention to the story line. Great hook.
michellemarietheresa Fresh Plot on a Ghoulley Theme....GHoulley to the MAX man.......
muclat Feels like the show is truly underappreciated. One might even go as far as calling it a hidden gem.The writing succeeds in creating a gripping, melancholic reality full of subtle emotion, perfectly portrayed by the cast.The absence of unnecessary flashiness and the convincing look through the eyes of the hopeless and the ambitious leaves me craving for more episodes.
SMcFirefly Sean Bean, superb as usual, leads a fantastic supporting cast through this dark and gritty investigation of mutilated corpses and the possibility of galvanizing the dead back to life. I cannot say enough about this 6 episode (what was originally supposed to be mini-series - but now renewed for a second run!) season. Everything from the costumes, the sets, and the music (oh, the great music!) is phenomenal! The opening credits and theme deserve some recognition as it was very well done (I had a Game of Thrones vibe watching it)! This could have easily ended at episode 6, because it was a perfect way to end this story, but I am also excited to see where they take Sean Bean's character next!
