Nonureva Really Surprised!

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Jackson Booth-Millard As soon as saw the advert for this dark British drama series on Channel 4 I knew I has to try it, and I'm glad I did. The story revolves around the Brogan family, father/husband Danny (David Morrissey), mother/wife Evelyn (Lucy Cohu), teenage daughter Zoe (Felicity Jones) and teenage son Mark (Harry Treadaway) moving to the secluded and under-surveillance town of Medowlands. It is when Danny murders resident Jack Donnelly (Tom Hardy) after he tried to abuse Mark that the big theme of the programme is set in motion, suspicion and investigation. The stories that went on, besides body finding and stuff like that, but no police involved, included Evelyn finding out from Dr. David York (Tristan Gemmill) that Danny isn't Zoe and Mark's biological father, Mark having sex with Brenda Ogilvie (Melanie Hill) and later her gorgeous (even if she's big) daughter Jezebel Ogilvie (Ella Smith), Zoe and Tom Tyrell (Scot Williams) investigating stuff to do with Wintersgill (Ralph Brown), Samantha (Nina Sosanya) and Freddie Marcuse (Don Gilet) knowing something about this "Cape Wrath", and in the end you see just how secluded Meadowlands is, nothing for miles besides some fields before the desert-like nothingness, a good way to end the show which is not coming back, because of low ratings. Also starring Sian Brooke as Lori Marcuse, Emma Davies as Abigail York, Sean Harris as Ormond and Kate Steavenson-Payne as Alison Tyrell. It is rare that you get a British drama series with the almost same quality of entertainment as an American one, e.g. Lost. Very good!

LJ Syme When I first watched this show, I was hooked. Every time I heard the(very cool)theme tune, I was there, on the couch, barely moving my eyes from it until ad breaks. And at he end of each episode I'd be itching for more. Wanting to know more about the main characters. And how they found themselves wound up in this peculiar place.And to my disappointment, they were some of the loose ends that weren't tied up. Among MANY loose ends and sometimes very peculiar main character personality switches.The characters that confused me the most were Mark, Danny and Dr York. The latter two would be more obvious to most people, however, when you also have some of the "issues" Mark is described as having in his medical records, he becomes the most confusing character of all. It's a common trait of characters with some forms of autism that have their lines written by those without personal experience. Due to the difficult nature of Autistic Spectrum Disorders. And the extra things described, which are also often quite common in some higher functioning autistics in real life, also don't seem to match up very well. Even though every person with them is different, there are certain things people with ASDs just will not do. Especially when combined with such an extra problems as OCD. And, while in the beginning, Mark's character didn't show these issues... They very quickly appeared. Even though it is quite obvious Mark Treadaway (Convenient name, eh?) put in a lot of effort with slight traits like eye contact difficulties.The ending seemed to rush up too soon. It was like a "Boo Moment". You know it's coming, but it hits you out of nowhere.And while it's a shocker, it leaves you still wanting an extra few episodes to tie everything up. And wanting to know more about the aftermath of the major events that take place.In the second-last episode the plot was wide open for a second series, but after watching the last episode, I now seriously doubt that is possible. Which is a great disappointment.

nic_j_b I thought I'd add a comment to this to show my support. I've been reading all the comments that people have written about this show and have to question the level of peoples intelligence these days.This is the sort of programme you have to think about, it keeps you guessing, who did what, what are their pasts and it leaves you looking forward to the next episode because there are lots of questions. One comment was made about the show being rushed, what do you expect, you couldn't keep up so they had to tie everything up in 8 episodes.. Impossible even for the most acclaimed of writers..I think there's a big difference between the English comments and the American, I'm English myself and agree with my fellow Brits. This is a really good series, it's a shame that it's being cancelled, it could have gone on longer, should have gone on longer...Today television is full of American programmes going for the simple and often derogatory humour, the only thing out there comparable to Cape Wrath is Lost, look what happened to that, they messed us about whilst the last season was on and kept changing the times/days.. Why? I think it's because people have forgotten how to think about a programme and how, in a way, to enjoy TV for what it should be used for. No more do people want shows that you have to think about and tune in to next week to keep the story going. No, we'd rather have things like Scrubs, Ugly Betty and What about Bryan so we can sit there, not have to think, move and possibly even breath, oh and obviously we just want to watch people laughing at fat people, people that don't fit in to 'society' and people sleeping with their best mates wife.. We don't have to think about things like that, instead we just watch with a bit of dribble coming out of our mouths and a bag of crisps at our side..I want more things on the TV that make me think, like Cape Wrath, I'm sorry you Americans didn't like it, it's English, us English like it.. Let us enjoy using our brains and watching programmes like Cape Wrath and Lost that leave us at the edge of our seat, keep us guessing and hungry for more!

bobtis I have to tell you this series has great possibilities. I love the look of the show. It reminds me of the "Prisioner" with a 21st century twist. The ladies are beautiful and the story is dark. Let's hope the plot thickens. British TV has always had a different twist compared to US shows. HBO being on another level of course. We were wondering if those homes are a real place or a set built or maybe some kind of CGI. What ever it is a beautiful setting and the colors are just beautiful. Thank you UK for all the entertainment you have given us over the years. I know you will find more to add to this already complicated mystery.
