The Sister

If it had been a full length series I'd have given up but as it was only 4 episodes I stuck it out..... but it was pretty awful. You couldn't care less about any of the characters or what happened and I just said Nope! at the final scene

I almost ALWAYS read reviews before seeing anything. But after seeing this series was only 4 episodes long, i decided to go head and watch with unbiased eyes. And all I gotta say is....yall tripping. Definitely watchable. Acting was believable. And the tension was surprising in the last two episodes, especially after truly knowing the characters. Man....let me go peep some of these other "5" star shows. I see some yall a little tooo picky.

Probably an oversimplification, but it always looks similar. Large preponderance of Americans dislike these British Mysteries/Crime shows. They are slow-paced, require thinking and patience. I enjoy most immensely (I'm American). I'm not saying this is the highest rated I've ever watched, but it kept my interest, I enjoyed it. Patience, peeps, take some time. 😊

Good premise, good enough plot but abysmal acting.

Tovey looks as though he's constantly trying to remember where he is and what his lines are. He spends most of every scene in a trance struggling to breathe. The supporting cast are serving up the usual trope that fleshes out every crime filler right down to the female cop who seems far to intelligent to be friends with such a clueless family.

Bertie Calver is giving the full Dickensian villain Performance, unfortunately it's out of place in this production and would seem more at home in doctor Who.

This mini series had a combination of mystery, suspense and aspects of a psychological thriller with a hint of the paranormal all in one. My favorite character was Bob- I've only seen that actor in a few things that I can recall, but I've enjoyed him every time. I was so anticipating the conclusion that I ended up watching the four episodes in one evening. I enjoyed the show overall and I'm glad I watched it. However there was a bit too much skipping around thru the three time periods in which this show takes place for my taste. Every once in a while I found the back flashes too jarring and a little confusing. Some also felt a little unnecessary, or maybe it's that the timing was off in the placement? Can't quite put my finger on it.

Also, I rather grew to dislike the main character, Nathan. I kept waiting to see if his character would redeem himself and his actions, but he just kept digging his hole deeper. I have to say though that as much as I always want to like or identify with the main character in some way- sometimes it's a nice surprise when a main protagonist turns into more of a 'villain' than a 'hero'. Of course this is a personal view of Nathan and what I took away from the character. I hope anyone who's a fan of the genre/genres will watch and decide for themselves!
