Eternal Law Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
graham coia OK, so it's not the best thing I've ever seen but it has real charm and wit. The leads are excellent and the stories and dialogue have just enough quirkiness to lift it out of run-of-the-mill.I am not normally a fan of UK shows being remade but I do feel that this would work well redone for an American audience - maybe we Brits just don't do angels too well - too cynical - and Americans would buy into the premise a bit more.I'd love to see it get a 2nd series, so long as it takes the characters somewhere and doesn't simply degenerate into the 'case-of-the-week' that just happens to contain angels!
brian-monahan I liked the premise of this short series - but many of the episodes story lines simply "ran out of runway". They needed more time or perhaps more of an arc should have been developed so that episodes always left you wanting to see the next one (as in LoM/A2A). This is, of course, difficult to establish ...We need more high-concept, intelligent moral dramas like Eternal Law - but they really are hard to justify for a highly commercial, prime time slot like ITV1 which has to constantly bring home the bacon on a number of fronts.My guess is that a more sympathetic and sustainable audience could still be gained on rerun without the pressure of generating huge audiences - this is not LoM/A2A after all - it could easily establish a solid following if more sensitively positioned. (By the way, we all watched it here unfailingly - even my youngest teenage daughter!)I will certainly be buying the DVD ... there were some good if occasionally uneven performances and the ideas behind the writing were actually top class (with a number of stunning LOL throwaway lines) - just perhaps a bit rushed and a little too "implicit" in places.
Christine Carl I liked that it seems not too clever or complicated. I really like courtroom dramas and it's interesting to have angelic beings acting as lawyers. Reminded me a bit of that lovely old film with David Niven,- A matter of life and death. In Eternal Law the acting is wonderful, if it wasn't they would never have been able to pull this off at all. Because, I sit there all tense, even when the wings are out, until it's all over and I know that clock isn't ticking anymore. The cast are brilliant - isn't Sam West the best actor we have, what a voice:) I love the dry wit that his character has. I love that he is tortured with lustful feelings for Hannah. While I am 'rooting' (sorry) for him to give her one - partly I must admit to see if his ejac would really knock her head off.- I do understand that the struggle he has with these feelings are really what it's all about. The fall. If that old angel hadn't fallen for one of us. We would all still be dancing around with fig leaves on having fun in the garden of Eden. Mr Mountjoy is just so bureaucratic, but isn't that just so true of everything in our world. Our whole existence balances on the tip of his ball point pen. I really loved the latest episode. It was so touching. I love that Zac and Tom are caught in the middle as innocent tools of Mr Mountjoy. I like it that Mr Mountjoy has no compassion and would switch us off at the drop of a hat just because the paperwork was building up and anyway we irritate him. He made a mistake when he made us and he knows it. After all he made us in his own image. The imagery of the Great war hit home to me. After all wasn't that just a bureaucratic exercise devoid of any compassion towards flesh. I hope there will be further series in the future. I love the light and dark. The defence and love towards those who seem wrong and guilty and bad. If it isn't continued I hope the ending is that we all go out in a blaze of glory as Zak has his wicked way with Hannah, blows her head off and shoots his cream so hard and high that it blows a hole in the ceiling, arcs a rainbow, rips the sky into two and hits old Mr Mountjoy right in the eye.
the-oldgoat Oh dear. The concept and the location both have a lot going for them, but you need a convincing story arc and much better scripts.I had actually got over the weird locations used in York for the market (no, St Helen's Square has a road through the middle, and those stalls hid the copious seating and the outdoor café), the hospital (the old Law courts beside the museum, next to the annoying bit of dual carriageway...) and began focusing on the plots and script. Ooops.Sorry, but when you compare this to some of the major drama series that have come out of Yorkshire in the last few decades - Heartbeat, All Creatures Great and Small, Open All Hours, The Royal - it just doesn't cut it.Guys, if you're going for another series, you need to seriously up the ante.
