Review of The Cry

The Cry (I) (2018)
5/10
Another disappointing British drama
28 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Like most British TV dramas, it started with a bang and ended with a whimper. You cannot take a plot seriously when the key point (the mixed up medicine) utterly lacks credibility. What were those mysterious medications mother and baby were taking, and what for? That is a relevant point completely ignored. In any case, a mother who is breastfeeding can't be taking something so dangerous that a few drops could kill a baby, since most drugs will get into her milk anyway. But most importantly, you would never get any prescribed medication without a label. And even if that was the case --which is impossible in the UK or any civilized country-- you would not put two completely different medications which look exactly the same in identical containers having to ¨taste´¨ them to tell the difference. That crucial detail is LUDICROUS and insulting for the viewer's intelligence. The writers do not know the first thing about the subject and did not bother to research. What a waste of money!
