Chasing Shadows (I) (2014)
10/10
I am so MAD at whoever decided to cancel this show
2 August 2020
I have seen a lot of crime, mystery series, it's my favourite genre and after a long time I found one which was so well made. I do not understand how can a show with such likable characters and intriguing storylines, not be renewed. I could have easily seen a bunch of seasons of this one.

The two storylines were interesting, the characters of the particular story were introduced properly, and when the reveal came it wasn't a complete surprise, you could see it coming, the signs were there, it made sense but at the same time it maintained the suspense and made sure you kept guessing till the end. This balance is very rarely seen and rarely so satifying.

The constant storyline with our main leads was also great, in a matter of just 4 episodes I had actually fallen in love with them, which is so rare for a tv show to be able to achieve that. The actors seemed very comfortable with their characters and each other and which made their characters feel real. We got to know them better through personal scenes with their own families and friends (who you also get invested in and want to see more of) but none of the scenes seemed to be stretched out, unneccasary and were not taking anything away from the parallel mystery.

The ending made me mad and sad at the same time, and I really wish that someone decides to bring this quality show back especially after seeing the last episode. I need closure!
