Dark, gritty and hugely compelling
18 June 2011 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Spiral is/was a wonderful show. It is such a shame though that it was over so soon, considering how consistently good it was it deserved much longer. Regardless, Spiral is still must-see television. The production values are superb, with great photography and lighting that brings a genuine atmosphere.

I loved the series' dark and gritty tone, and as it progressed the grittiness and darkness increased to levels where Spiral became "miss it at your own risk" quality. The stories were always hugely compelling, the writing was outstanding, being intelligent and thoughtful with few badly written clichés in sight, and Spiral also had characters that you cared for and I think the acting, which was consistently excellent and continued to get better, helped hugely here.

Overall, Spiral is a truly wonderful show/series and one of the highlights on TV when it aired. 10/10 Bethany Cox
