    Stag in the Mud

    A decent mini series that never really falters while having enough twists and turns to remain interesting. The only problem is that there have been so many films like it that there really is nothing new to show here.

    It's certainly fun enough and well acted, the pacing suffers however as the action is sudden and then padded out with lots of meandering, dialogue being either meaningless repetition or clunky exposition.

    Overall there are some great ideas here and it's definitely worth a watch, but don't expect complete originality or anything too funny as the story unfolds.

    Doesn't quite work, but comes close

    Watch it for the acting. The plotting is a bit off - there aren't any hints of the extra woman till the end, and even the "we need to kill everyone off so we have all the money" thing comes in a little too late. But the acting makes it worth it. I really didn't want the throttled bloke to die. The brother in law holds up a scenario that tried for more than it could really make, but it's well worth a watch. And at least Tim and the additional extremely hot woman didn't walk off into the distance or have much connection at all.

    Great stuff.

    Well just when you thought the BBC were spent they hand us this, a great mix of Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot and Hostel.

    I feel the show was undersold thus missed a bigger audience but in my opinion was/is one of the (BBC) shows of 2016.

    I could be opinionated as I'm from Scotland but the setting is as dreary as it is here.

    Can't wait for the third episode as the first two have set the finale up well.

    For a change well done BBC.

    Eyes Wide Open

    What a beauty!.... This is one series I won't forget... it has a bit of everything, and it does not fail. When it first started, I picked up that this was going to be subtle comedy, and after the first 'departed ', I sat in awe, as I knew this was going to be special, and it was. Well and truly worth the watch...I would put this in my top 10 list. Enjoy, and take it for what it is and you will 'get it'...Excellent

    Great show - ridiculous, hilarious and dark

    I really enjoy black humour and this show satisfied me immensely. From the alpha male bullshit to the alpha male carnage, I was entertained from go to wo. It is a bit slasher, a bit cerebral, a bit python - what more could you ask for. I only hope they continue the story with another instalment.
