Yeah, I know that title sounds convoluted, but this was just.... this is not how Britons are. Or the British legal system. Or British mannerisms. And some of those weren't British accents (that Molly girl was not Irish, she just... wasn't. Though Anthony Head is, and now he's playing an American?). Every British buzz-topic has been thrown into this blender. Knox/ Kircher, The Troubles, The Royals, it's all thrown in there. This is really obviously about how Americans see us, and they produced an American show (slow mo shots, use of music, wide angle overhead shots), all they did was unnecessarily base it in London where apparently everyone is rich and lives close to the Astoria. And drinks in the same pub. And bump into each other in one of the most populous cities in the world. Billy Zane was,as always, amazing. I watched it initially because he was in it, and he always does a stellar job. He wrangled his lines beautifully, and his incredulity at the stupidity of the main characters was apparent in his delivery. Can not fault him, and he's the only reason this debacle got any stars from me at all.

I can't help feeling that this is influenced by the Kutcher incident? American girl and her European boyfriend, murder in their apartment, tabloid judgement etc? But everything from the acting to the accents - particularly the 'I'm from Scotland Yard' policeman ... no one says that here in the UK! As someone else noted, there are so many 'this is how the US think we do things' moments too - factually incorrect.Absolutely will not continue past episode 2 - which I've struggled through.

I just discovered Guilt and I'm Guilty of watching it nonstop until the end, the complex stories and characters is what makes this wonderful show. The show opens with a murder and is so much more than that. I just wish that people watched more television these days and had time to watch a gem of a show like this. I don't know if maybe this show was on a major network it would of gotten better ratings, I don't know. The writing,acting and directing are top notch on Guilt. The wardrobe and scenery on the show are superb as well. The show ended in a way that, you for not feel cheated and they sort of wrapped everything up which is good. So please if you haven't seen This show you must, you will be hooked I promise.

The storyline is quite good and it's done in quite a realistic way. the main problem is the the level of intelligence portrayed by what are supposed to be adults isn't awfully realistic.the police play quite convincing police and at a push the main legal defender is realistic but the villain is laughable as is the main premise of a high class brothel that the police don't know about where high powered people go for fun and games. it would be known of and left alone by the police as long as nothing other than prostitution occurred. once one of the hookers gets her throat cut. the police would open the can of worms.then there are the goodies... a very stupid group of girls working as hookers that show no intellect or reasoning in their actions. it goes along the lines of...my friend just had her throat cut, there is blood everywhere. let's go to France ! so they get on a train and are surprised when the police stop them. then she bumbles about in nightclubs and wonders why the paparazzi are following her for snaps. so let's go shopping instead. really ? it could have been good if the characters hadn't mainly been brain dead airheads.oh, there are lots of girls in short skirts for the lads who haven't seen a girl yet. one for the 12-13-14 year olds I think.
