Wow is that gripping!!
Okay so in parts the acting is a little wooden but it really was nail biting and I consider myself pretty good at guessing the ending but it had me guessing until the last episode!I still don't understand the upsetting baby calf evening incident....that's not a spoiler, you'll know when you get there. It was never explained and I don't get it.Brilliant stuff and I loved the comedy house mate! She was brilliant and such a random part but it made it all the more believable and realistic!Really really really REALLY good!It's one of those ones I'll keep thinking about... I'm sort of hoping they don't do a second series, leave it where it was. As some dramas SHOULD be left on a high! And that's a very high, high!! :)

"Glue" is an absorbing British murder mystery / drama mini-series that pulls you in and continuously makes you want to watch the next episode. The world it creates feels real, the characters (well, the main ones, anyway) are people you get to know intimately. Nearly all of the young actors (but especially those playing Tina, Rob, James and Eli) do an exceptional job. If there is one problem with this series, it's that it might have been more effective if it had slightly fewer episodes, maybe 6 instead of 8 in total. As it is, there are some moments in the middle where the series seems to spend a little too much time on one particular love triangle (while practically ignoring the death of another character), and you may find yourself wishing they would get on with the mystery quicker. Still, the resolution is generally satisfying, and I would recommend this mini-series to fans of the genre....though, be warned, it's quite edgy and not suitable for family viewing. *** out of 4.

In many ways this was a good series with many strands and mis-directions. However the acting was erratic and not always believable. But worse than that, as usual, everything around the horse elements was very poor. Wrong tack (General purpose not racing saddles), race horses that just stand around for hours without being tied up, the jockey being given her first race in a big race, anyone allowed to wander around in the weighing room but no officials there, no Stewards enquiry 're the pulled race and many other elements. There was so much potential here and I did persevere to the end (just cos I wanted to know the outcome) but it fell very short of what it could have been

This series and the gradual revelation of characters, their histories and self-realizations make for first-rate watching. From an opener in which the players seem like a bored bunch of small town fun seekers, to the end where we feel intimately acquainted with every one of them, the central crime and associated misdeeds play against the personal network in perplexing, infuriating and masterful ways. This is a memorable group and the show should garner awards all around.The insight into ethnic factions and the unreasonable biases they create and maintain was eye-opening. Revelation of grudges and resentments takes its time and unfolds just as one has nearly forgotten about them. This season feels wrapped-up, but there is definitely room for another season. The Karma Cafe still has a couple of characters who haven't yet received what they deserve.
