For an English TV show I was impress by the writing and tension build up during the season. The plot is well knitted and the acting great, I was impressed. Start watching it and you won't be able to stop, this is a great binge. great show!
Criminal comes with the promise of breathing some life into the police procedural along with an interesting format whereby three episodes are devoted to cases in four different countries. It's an intriguing start, and with a decent pedigree of actors the United Kingdom section looked good enough to tempt me to press play. All of the action takes place in the interrogation room, the corridor outside it or in the viewing room next door, all designed in an idiosyncratic way that seems... unlikely, certainly for a British police station. Nevertheless, it starts out tightly with (a very downbeat and understated) David Tennant playing a doctor accused of raping and killing his fourteen-year-old stepdaughter. He's determined, on his solicitor's advice, to answer 'no comment' to every question put to him and we see that the interrogators have only a limited time to charge him.
It sounds exciting, and for a while it is; it's tense and reasonably well-acted, but at the end of the episode it felt undercooked. There was something missing. It was as if someone tried to come up with a show based entirely on the interrogation scenes in Line of Duty but missed out on any of the context and technique that make those so compelling. Nicholas Pinnock is always good value with a stare that could bore a hole in concrete, but the different elements never quite come together in a satisfying way.
It's missing the White Christmas episode
I'm not religious, but I enjoyed the movie. Even though I got really pissed at the God character sometimes, he made up for it.
RANT not about the movie:
I'm pretty sick and tired of people saying "one of the worst movies I've ever seen" again and again, I can't go on a comment section on ANY movie without someone having that attitude, and I don't even believe it's one of the worst they've seen, most of the time they just disliked it. And it's okay to dislike something, I dislike some movies too. BUT to go as far, example on this film, this "Durkslag", saying it's religious "crap" for "brainwashed" people, I really pity them. He must be so fun at parties (not). If he feel the need, if anyone feel the need to insult movies and at the same time, people who watch them, they really do have my pity, and I hope that they one day learn that they do not have to be so cruel. I don't believe in God, but I believe what comes around, goes around. If you're online acting like a dick, you'll be sure to look twice before crossing any roads any time soon. You, me, everyone, we will get what we deserve, what we put into this life. If you're gonna give hatred, that is what you'll recieve. Just a heads up. ARK, one act of random kindness, saving the world one step at a time. That is all folks. Have a most deserving evening, everyone.
Wtf! What a lame ass ending! I'm so disappointed! What was the point with one last season when they end it like that?
No justice for Danny, no justice for Marco.. What the hell was all that with John in the last 2 episodes? Is he sick or? What about Meg? What happened to her? And Sally? Kinda lame ending a show with her going crazy like that! Will Eric just rot in hell forever for something he had nothing to do with?
Endings like these makes me feel like i've wasted my time!
Just watched the first episode and it looks very promising!
Not to heavy going, just a nice show that you can sit down and enjoy, without to much hassle.....
The only thing so far that I’m not to sure about is the editing, feels a bit jumpy and the flow of the storylines could be a bit smoother.....
Welp that was boring. I can't keep up with this anymore. WHY AM I STILL WATCHING THIS SOMEONE PLEASE STOP ME
Just mindblowing. It's strange watching it the second time round knowing the secrets but it's a completely different but delightful experience. I do wish that I could watch films like these with fresh eyes sometimes though. Nolan's a genius. Simple.
I can't believe people are praising this awful, boring episode. Your standards must be low when you watch a Netflix series.
This should have been a 10 minutes long story told by one of the characters, intertwined with flashbacks. Not an entire episode dedicated to it, ffs.
So far I would say this is the weakest episode of this season. It's not just because the topic is a bit different. It's just that nobody in this episode do I find particularly believable.
I can't understand why there's such a low rating from critics and stuff. What were they expecting??
The scenery, wardrobe, makeup, everything is so beautiful and colorful. I felt like I was watching a play, a musical, everything was amazing. Emma Watson was a great choice for Belle, Gaston was perfect, the Beast was lovely as expected (Dan Stevens is a great actor - I might think Gaston was a little bit better though) and you're there for Lumiére. He stole the show for me. Ewan McGregor proves again he's the best, most versatile actor ever.
It is exactly the same as the animation, just some changes. It was a great movie overall, I cried like a baby the whole time (favorite 'Disney Princess' tale right here).
I can't understand why people wouldn't like it.
I don't usually hate psychopath, like Joe Carrol or Hannibal, but I hate Norman so fucking much
My babies kissing and Bradley dying? Best day ever.
I think at some point it’s best to ask: what, precisely, are we gaining from episodes like this? The origin story for a ghost, yes. But ultimately, is this a satisfying way to fold the lady of the lake into the central plot of this season? Nah dude. The idea that the lady of the lake is that disconnected, that indifferent to the struggles of Dani and Co brings out something that may have been ultimately a more interesting approach for this series post-Hill House: bring a more episodic based anthology akin to The Twilight Zone. Even if sometimes those stories would be two to three episodes long, I feel like the impact of the project would be much more profound.
This show is such a fn drag, man. There should have been 6 episodes this season, tops. It's like a moebius strip.
The fact that the KBI/FBI "couldn't" solve this case (when Alonzo's killers were most likely at that party—which narrows it down to, what, 40 people?), and then proceeded to close it because of their own incompetence is maddening. I honestly wonder if law enforcement would have tried a bit harder if the victim and his family were white.
Point: This mystery should not be unsolved.
Rob obviously killed his wife. Do you know where else I’ve seen someone that sleeps with the remains of their dead loved one? Psycho.
WELL THIS WASN'T SO MUCH A MYSTERY, I KNOW WE ALL KNOW WHO COMMITTED THIS DISGUSTING CRIME. WHAT A
MONSTER HE WAS, HE WAS ALMOST SAT THERE BRAGGING TO THE CAMERA ABOUT IT AS THOUGH HE'D GOT AWAY WITH IT. AND HE WAS SORTA EXPLAINING WHAT HE DID WITH HER IN THE LAST MOMENTS OF HER LIFE, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE PIECE OF SHIT. HE WAS PARADING AROUND WITH HER REMAINS LIKE THEY WHERE HIS TROPHY, HE COULD HARDLY CONTAIN HIS PRIDE AND EXCITEMENT
ON CAMERA.
STRAIGHT TO HELLA FOR
THIS PEACE OF TRASH.
HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED
DEFINITELY DID IT.
PSYCHO, COWARD, BULLY.
I HOPE HE **** ALONE
AND IN PAIN.
(I'm so angry and can't believe I've
just watched a murdering psycho get tv
time to gloat and brag about his trophy kill).
"I hope he Rots"
Can’t be sure but the husband sure seems guilty. At the very least he’s a jerk — I don’t care how bad a kid you think the son was, it’s wrong to keep any part of his mothers ashes from him. Photographs, etc.
This show had its ups and downs but this final season made up for it all. Bringing everything back from the very first season, tying it all together, putting Annalise properly front and centre, bringing the show back to the courtroom where it belongs, turning everyone against one another, ruining relationships and building new ones. Killing Asher, Bonnie and Frank is ruthless and painful after you've followed them for 6 whole seasons but it wouldn't be HTGAWM without high stakes, pain and shocking deaths. Absolutely loved everything about this ending, especially Annalise getting her happy ending with my girl Tegan. Been watching this show since day one, gonna miss it, and gonna miss Viola Davis' Annalise Keaing especially - one of the greatest characters of all time, portrayed by arguably the best actor of our generation. Goodbye How To Get Away With Murder, thank you for the wild ride!!
Viola Davis is a national treasure. That final argument! Thank you, Shonda. It was a wild ride with a few bumps at the end, but... Bye bye.
Well. I cried really hard at that.
No clue how they're going to wrap this up in one episode, so many storylines to cover! Also they've ruined Michaela, hows she going to sit there taking the moral high ground when they've all done horrible things, she also lied to Connor so yeah, she pissed me off. A great episode though!
When Annalise was 100% ready to destroy Michaela, I was 100% ready too.
No wonder why Frank is so screwed in the head. It makes all the sense in the world now.
Why don’t they listen to the viewers and stop with these musicals?
Another. Awful. Musical. Waste. Of. Time.
Just cancel it.
what the hell, a musical episode again. if I wanted that shit I would watch a musical not that show.
I like the set-up of this episode. Confronting the Stonewall Prep people BUT it was a tad bit cringe-worthy having Jug and Betty do that all lovey dovey the way they did.
It also felt a bit anti climatic, the twist with Donna. It's like the writers had all these ideas for her but noticed that the fans had ALL of those ideas so they went and did something that nobody suspected because it was NEVER mentioned before, which wasn't just with Donna but the overall ending to this arc I mean, we all knew DuPont was a bad guy and had a big part to play in the happenings of Stonewall throughout the years but these other kids that he killed to keep his secret, that felt thrown in at the last minute.
I'm actually bummed that this story is over and we'll no longer see Donna and Bret. These two grew on me. Characters you love to hate.
