Rupert17 Excellent mini-series about a young man's search for the truth in his family's past and what it had to do with his uncle's disappearance some years before. It is about closure but also growing up and moving on in one's life. Hard to pick a stand-out in a cast that fits the characters with great precision.Perhaps the real star is the landscapes of Argyll in Scotland. I was always disappointed when filming went inside, except that the script was so strong and acting so meticulous, you were always entertained and stimulated.Peter Capaldi and Dougray Scott went on to bigger things. Bill Paterson and Stella Gonet are solid,established Scottish actors whose standards never drop and Valerie Edmond has always been a shining light. The younger actors were excellent as well.

Werrf At first I only watched this because of the impressive use of the landscape of the west coast of Scotland, and area I'd toured earlier that year. However, I was soon pulled irresistibly into the complex, detailed storyline. Be warned - this story probably isn't good for anyone who can't keep track of several plots running concurrently. While the flashbacks can sometimes be confusing, they add so much to the story.The acting is also wonderful. All the characters come to bright, shining life from their first appearances.And let's face it, how many stories begin with the words "It was the day my Grandmother exploded"?

Cloister56 I saw the crow road when it first aired and it was the first BBC drama that I never expected to like but really enjoyed, I could wait to see the next part. Years later when I went to Uni I became friends with a lad who reminded me so much of Prentice and fortunately UK gold began running the series and it has not lost any of the original spark. I would definitely encourage anyone to see the Crow Road, it is both funny and captivatingly mysterious, containing excellent performances from all the cast especially Prentice.

simons An excellent adaption. Charismatic and convincing cast. Captures the spirit of the source book as well as any adaption I've seen.
