Grace: Not Dead Enough (2022)
Unecessarily complex at times , but a creative concept!
I felt like the plot was unnecessarily complex, when it came to the large amount of main and subplot characters, their names , aliases , and family history .
I normally look up and simultaneously read full episode recaps , when watching shows , as I don't like to miss any details. This episode however , did force me to stop and rewind certain parts a few times , as the family history was so confusing ! I am impatient , so that could just be an irritant specific to me ? I'm unsure , but it took longer to watch overall, which I didn't like.
I honestly didn't think I'd like this episode , as the pace at the start of the episode, was too slow and the storyline boring. Once the pace picked up, with the revelation of the family ties , the episode became more interesting overall.
Grace: Dead Man's Footsteps (2022)
Unnecessarily complex at times , but the concept was spot on!
My favourite episode from season1 up until Season 2 , so far, but unsure yet of the episodes that follow this one. However, the plot was unnecessarily complex (for e.g. The names and aliases) and at times , the episode felt over stuffed. However, the concept overall was creative , interesting, and in my opinion spot on.
Additionally, I do agree with the reviews online,
which have mentioned the length of the episodes , as being too long. , and the unnecessarily complex plots . I think ideally 1 hour would have made more sense than 1.5 hours .
From a writing /story board perspective, each episode peaks your interest , as the audience , at the Exposition(start of the episode), the Climax, Falling action and Resolution (ending) . However, by 'over stuffing' scenes, which could be cut out, after the initial start of the episode and the scenes before the climax , would benefit from editing . And improve the overall pace of the episode- but that could just be the script writers preference. Also remember these episodes , are trying to fully illustrate Peter James initial vision, demonstrated in his 'Roy Grace' novels. Therefore, I understand the script writers choice to add alot of detail - so again as the audience you'll either love it or hate it .
Anyway to conclude , Katie Clarkson-Hill (Abby) was amazing and I loved the ending! *chefs kiss*
