Solid drama, with varying quality throughout.
14 March 2019 | by Sleepin_DragonSee all my reviews

Next of Kin is a very powerful, very emotive drama, set over six episodes it gives a real insight into the acts of terrorism, the origins, process, and eventual tragic outcome.

It's a little far fetched, and it's definitely padded out in the middle, but overall it's a very good watch. Best episode is Part 3, which is edge of the seat viewing, it also concludes well.

There are moments where you have to suspend belief, as some events will have you scratching your head, asking, would they really do that?

Very well produced, well acted, Archie Panjabi steals every scene, she is marvellous. Claire Skinner I'd argue was badly cast.

Overall, emotive, intense, slightly muddled, but watchable. 7/10
