    ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
    Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
    Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
    Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
    nic_j_b I thought I'd add a comment to this to show my support. I've been reading all the comments that people have written about this show and have to question the level of peoples intelligence these days.This is the sort of programme you have to think about, it keeps you guessing, who did what, what are their pasts and it leaves you looking forward to the next episode because there are lots of questions. One comment was made about the show being rushed, what do you expect, you couldn't keep up so they had to tie everything up in 8 episodes.. Impossible even for the most acclaimed of writers..I think there's a big difference between the English comments and the American, I'm English myself and agree with my fellow Brits. This is a really good series, it's a shame that it's being cancelled, it could have gone on longer, should have gone on longer...Today television is full of American programmes going for the simple and often derogatory humour, the only thing out there comparable to Cape Wrath is Lost, look what happened to that, they messed us about whilst the last season was on and kept changing the times/days.. Why? I think it's because people have forgotten how to think about a programme and how, in a way, to enjoy TV for what it should be used for. No more do people want shows that you have to think about and tune in to next week to keep the story going. No, we'd rather have things like Scrubs, Ugly Betty and What about Bryan so we can sit there, not have to think, move and possibly even breath, oh and obviously we just want to watch people laughing at fat people, people that don't fit in to 'society' and people sleeping with their best mates wife.. We don't have to think about things like that, instead we just watch with a bit of dribble coming out of our mouths and a bag of crisps at our side..I want more things on the TV that make me think, like Cape Wrath, I'm sorry you Americans didn't like it, it's English, us English like it.. Let us enjoy using our brains and watching programmes like Cape Wrath and Lost that leave us at the edge of our seat, keep us guessing and hungry for more!
    Sarah Doherty "Meadowlands is a sunny place!" The words would give you an expectancy of a drab, happy little suburban drama - comedy but in truth it is so much more.The characters are very well portrayed, the storyline well thought through and written.The darkness of Meadowlands/Cape Wrath will draw you in and keep you watching, wanting to find out why all the people are as they are.It's a very good watch, but go in prepared for some spine-chilling surprises.There is never a moment where you aren't in suspense, or worried for a characters personal safety, you feel empathy for them, but at the same time, are wary of the darkness you can feel in their natures.Meadowlands/Cape Wrath is a top watch for someone looking to be intrigued.
    garyw167 Hi, glad you are enjoying this programme. Just stumbled on it while scanning IMDb for new US shows that may be coming to the UK! This programme hasn't aired in the UK and i know no-one who has heard of it! Obviously some of the cast are well know - David Morrisey etc Presumably this will be on our TV's at some point in the future - i sure hope so as the website and your reviews make it sound very intriguing.Please let me know if you know when it may air across the pond!Also while i think about what other programmes should we be keeping a look out for over here that may be coming our way?From here in the UK there is nothing of any great significance on at the mo (nothing like the Office etc for you all to look forward to coming over from the UK i'm afraid - pretty much all our new output recently is trash!)
    bobtis I have to tell you this series has great possibilities. I love the look of the show. It reminds me of the "Prisioner" with a 21st century twist. The ladies are beautiful and the story is dark. Let's hope the plot thickens. British TV has always had a different twist compared to US shows. HBO being on another level of course. We were wondering if those homes are a real place or a set built or maybe some kind of CGI. What ever it is a beautiful setting and the colors are just beautiful. Thank you UK for all the entertainment you have given us over the years. I know you will find more to add to this already complicated mystery.
