As Good As It Gets
Dirtylogy
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

As soon as saw the advert for this dark British drama series on Channel 4 I knew I has to try it, and I'm glad I did. The story revolves around the Brogan family, father/husband Danny (David Morrissey), mother/wife Evelyn (Lucy Cohu), teenage daughter Zoe (Felicity Jones) and teenage son Mark (Harry Treadaway) moving to the secluded and under-surveillance town of Medowlands. It is when Danny murders resident Jack Donnelly (Tom Hardy) after he tried to abuse Mark that the big theme of the programme is set in motion, suspicion and investigation. The stories that went on, besides body finding and stuff like that, but no police involved, included Evelyn finding out from Dr. David York (Tristan Gemmill) that Danny isn't Zoe and Mark's biological father, Mark having sex with Brenda Ogilvie (Melanie Hill) and later her gorgeous (even if she's big) daughter Jezebel Ogilvie (Ella Smith), Zoe and Tom Tyrell (Scot Williams) investigating stuff to do with Wintersgill (Ralph Brown), Samantha (Nina Sosanya) and Freddie Marcuse (Don Gilet) knowing something about this "Cape Wrath", and in the end you see just how secluded Meadowlands is, nothing for miles besides some fields before the desert-like nothingness, a good way to end the show which is not coming back, because of low ratings. Also starring Sian Brooke as Lori Marcuse, Emma Davies as Abigail York, Sean Harris as Ormond and Kate Steavenson-Payne as Alison Tyrell. It is rare that you get a British drama series with the almost same quality of entertainment as an American one, e.g. Lost. Very good!

Can anyone tell me what the song title is that was featured in Episode 8 of Cape Wrath? (this is the episode where the Brogan's have their opening party for the new bar)A song is playing in the background - it's a dance beat, female singer, very airy voice...some of the lyrics areTwist and turn this way Broken dreams just fade Swallowed up my hate Hypnotise MeThe "hypnotise me" words repeat throughout, so I assume that is the title of the song. I have tried Google and every lyrics site - can't figure out this song! HELP!!!

Wow! I was so intrigued by Cape Wrath. I saw the advert and thought 'this looks different'. It blew me away. Each scene keeps you going with quirky dry humour,gorgeous women,beautiful scenery,lighting and surreal settings. A breathe of fresh air. This has potential as been a hit. And hey thank god its British! I felt for Dominic Monaghan (Charlie off LOST) he had to put up with Americans!I'm from the north. THE STEEL CITY. Yes LOST is the best TV series ever but i cant stand Americans with their over-the-top ego's and how they make things patriotic and dramatic, but now we have an English contender. Doctor Who ha doesn't come close and i cant think of any other good English drama TV shows. It is UK cast and set in this great country. It has the look and feel thats just taboo and so interesting. Bad boy Jack had a sick sinister side to him which is so unusual and different. Unique Jack seduces the ladies and with his satanic breathing is creepy! The deeper side to this is the women from the hotel who is the BEN of this dark drama. With everything from a cross dressing boy who has an eye for old women to a midnight football team where tackles include stud-stamps to the head. This has everything. I can see shocks ahead! Looking forward to a UK hit. Adam Lock

I just watched the first episode, as that's all we have had in the UK so far. I like it a lot. Interesting premise, and appears original.Anyway, with only 8 episodes it is certainly worth viewing.If the quality of the remaining episodes is as good, I hope they commission a second series.To answer someone's question, it is not a set. It is filmed in Kent, in two close by areas called Leybourne Lakes (the multi coloured houses) and Kings Hill (the white houses and "town square" and pub). It's also filmed round the back of my house at the golf course (again Kings Hill).FOLLOWING COMMENTS ADDED AFTER VIEWING THE REST OF THE SERIES:I rated this a 10 after the first episode. Unfortunately the rest of the series did not live up to the promise shown. It's fairly original yes, but it's also overlong and gets tedious. I'd rate it a 6.5 or perhaps slightly better. I'd be surprised to see a second series.
