lihtenc I went to this for Benedict in the first place, but when I finished I found that the story was more exciting. Very good plot, every things were quite confusing in the first few episodes, and I didn't understand the whole thing until the last one. There could be some improvements in the way they delivered the story to make it more clear and intense. You need to be patient to wait for 2 or 3 episodes to get an idea of what's going on because they've been laying too much clues around and not connecting them till the last sec. They also spent quite a few shots on drawing the social background. But towards the end it was irresistible to see where the characters will end up despite their struggles. And at the last few scenes I did get horrid, thrilling feelings that the story tried to create. It made me so disgusted about what's happening in that fictional world and that's why I found this series quite nice.The cast was good. All actors/actresses were delivering fantastic performances. (And I am more than happy to see what a brilliant job that Benedict did in this). Overall, don't expect this show will be witty or delighting or full of fun. It followed the George Orwell "1984" and in a sense, dull, but still alarming. In my view it was unnecessarily lengthy, but not intolerable. So if you are after some kind of serious drama on political conspiracies, this one worth a try.

samkan It is not just that THE LAST ENEMY is disappointing or doesn't fulfill its promise. Rather, the mini-series takes a downhill plunge such that, by the end, TLE is annoying and downright painful to watch.The film begins as most promising, intriguing, etc. The ninety minute intro episode introduces several interesting characters and events that compel the viewer to "tune in next time". The second episode, now an hour in length, is still fun though it seems to just offer more characters and circumstances; i.e., without much in the way of moving things along. By the third episode we're getting character vignettes without much in the way of cohesion and with plodding method.By episode four we're frustrated as far as what or who we're supposed to suspect and are absolutely bored with the personal stories, love conflicts of the main characters. By then we're so tired of seeing our lead character's facial expression of screwed-up astonishment that we want to paint a mustache on it. By episode five we just want Robert Carlyle's character (by then his thick Irish accent is the only fun thing left) to just kill everyone, which he almost does anyway.

siderite And it is not just because I am Romanian, either. I agree, the series is a bit slow at times; things happen that cannot possibly happen at others. But it is worth watching it till the last episode, which pretty much explains away most of the inconsistencies.Saying anything about the subject would spoil it, so I'll just say this: I have a friend who despises all corporate or governmental attempts to control the individual. If he would have seen this series, he would have paced nervously the whole time, cursing as he walks.It is medium budget UK/Romania coproduction about the perils of personal data processing in a not too distant future. Most of the things in the series is possible even now, if they would have more powerful cameras installed and a bunch of software analyzing every bit of data in real time.Bottom line: definitely worth watching, as one of the few quality series that are also believable, make a point and are also dark not all about how to make the audience comfy in their potato couches. And if Robert Carlyle plays in it, it is a must see.

moshun Yet again we trot out a tired ,derivative, alarmist bore-fest of a drama.Chock full of cardboard characters, bad dialogue and cheaper than cheap production values. It picks up slightly toward the end of the initial episode, enough to give it a second chance, but not exactly edge of the seat stuff.Theme wise, it's not particularly relevant in any accurate sense. As i said before "alarmist" is the best description. At least if it's core had some genuine gravitas it would be worth watching but it comes off as the same old mumblings of leftie dissent. Balking at the notion of a surveillance state. (which for all intents and purposes we already live in) And for the most part... it's coma inducingly dull. Some of the acting is cringe worthy, but i cant blame the actors, with some of the lines they have to deliver, it's telling when even the cast cant get into character.Like i said, i will wait to see how the next episode pans out, but i am not waiting with baited breath. when oh when will British TV actually get some money spent on productions!
