Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

brandonarkell After watching this entire series, I was quite simply stunned by how dramatic, powerful, and moving it was. Writer Stephen Volk and his colleagues managed masterfully to weave in elements of an unsettling and haunting nature with messages of emotionally profound beauty.The series successfully incorporates psychological horror, real-life human problems, and deep philosophical questions into a compelling narrative. It almost plays as a fiery intellectual debate in dramatic form. The characters are so real and so animated, and their relationships so dynamic, that they keep you utterly rapt.The acting by Lesley Sharp and Andrew Lincoln is phenomenal. Sharp's world-weary cynicism and Lincoln's naive intellectualism are almost palpable. The writing is phenomenal. Even the choreography and attention to detail are spot-on. A great work, and probably my favourite television series.And for those who hate emotion, this one might just prove to be a tear-jerker by the very end.

ennor I saw the first series way back when, and found it amazing. I have only just revisited series 1 on DVD, and it was then that the true value of this show truly hit home.Lesley Sharp!!! Everything she does is excellent, but in this series, as reluctant medium Alison Mundy, she is truly breathtaking. Her clear blue eyes mesmerize, and her pain is palpable. There are a large number of unsung English actors, and she is one of them. Well supported by Andrew Lincoln (of "Teachers" and "Love Actually") this is Sharp's show. I could not take my eyes from her whenever she was on screen. And comparing this show with Ghost Whisperer is like comparing lobster with chicken nuggets.The story lines are gripping, engaging and even believable. Andrew Lincoln's character is drawn into the world of the medium with reluctance and skepticism. I liked both characters, but often was disappointed with them also. But I was never, ever bored, not even for a minute.Some British TV is very good - some is awful, I'm sure - but "Afterlife" is so outstanding it takes your breath away.

jmbwithcats I think what really lingers after watching "Afterlife"'s first episode is how realistic it is. That life cannot be summed up so simply that the dead seek either to help or be helped. In this we find sometimes the areas of gray go against what we believe is ethically in our own moral sense of responsibility.But, that does not make them any less real. In fact it makes us look out from beyond a sense of comfort and safety, to seek a deeper understanding of what we have experienced, and discover what is real.Episode one really hit me, like a ton of bricks and look forward to seeing episode two and the inner puzzles it gives me to unravel and decipher in this discovery of Spirit.Afterlife really feels a sense of spirit, and though I like the American show Medium, this show seems to really have it's finger on the pulse of this issue in a way that gratifies a sense of exploration more so then the latter.

karmasells I loved this show at first but the on again off again relationship with Robert and everyone makes me angry. Robert is a first class jerk, God help you if he was your shrink. Robert should be believer after the previous shows concerning his son. Robert's ex-wife is a bitch and can't make up her mind either. I do like the fact that all the shows do not have a happy ending. There is too much conflict between the lead players to be friends. The acting is done very well. Does everyone in England really drink that much? There is a bottle of wine in most scenes. I watched both seasons in two days like a good book I couldn't put down.
