I found this quite creepy so I wouldn't recommend watching it late at night! Good cast - Suranne Jones is excellent as always.

I very much enjoyed this mini-series and found it to be quite thought provoking but I was a little bewildered by the ending. Anyone else still wondering WTF actually happened with the children??

Haley Atwell is a fantastic actress as anyone can see from her performance as Peggy Carter, however, I just couldn't really feel engaged in her character Hayes or the rest of this show. The other characters lack any depth and are not given time to develop. The concept of overturning the convictions of innocent people is an appealing one and should have worked well in the procedural format but there was never anything that special about this show.

I feel like I never really connected with this show in the way that it wanted me to. I found early episodes engaging and as someone from outside the US it was interesting to see the prejudices and bias portrayed but I did lose interest towards the end of Season 1. A lot of that was due to finding Felicity Huffman's character insufferable, which might of been the point of her but it was a turn off for me. I've since heard good things about Season 2 so maybe I'll revisit it.

Absolutely loved this. Tom Hiddleston & Hugh Laurie play their respective roles perfectly. The filming locations are beautiful, you feel really immersed in Roper's world. The story draws you in and keeps you hooked. Brilliant, entertaining and at times terrifying drama.

Hands down the best horror/supernatural/period drama on TV right now. The cast is sublime, they gel so well together and the smallest of human interactions are portrayed in a beautiful way in amongst so much crazy messed up supernatural goings on. It's also one of the most beautifully shot pieces of TV I've come across. Truly a feast for the eyes.

Pretty average conspiracy theory stuff here. Nothing is done really badly but nothing is done really well so it ends up being rather forgettable.

This one is a bit of a slow burn but is quite gripping once you get into it. The story is told from two perspectives by two somewhat unreliable narrators, so you have to question the validity of either testimony. Superb acting from all the cast and really beautiful to watch thanks to the pretty filming locations.

Slick and stylish. Some great characters although Don Draper can be at times infuriating but worth a watch for Elizabeth Moss' Peggy and Christina Hendricks' Joan.

Amazing show which was let down by its final season
