Shetland it isn't! This could have been good but the acting is so bad the storyline even worse. It's like it's written by and for children. I've watched all three episodes and fallen asleep through each one. I'm going to try the second series but I don't hold out much hope. It's a rainy day with nothing to do kind of show and if you want I catch up on lost sleep this will do it! To be honest I can't believe they bbc commissioned a second series! The acting in the second series is just as bat by the way. Aberdeen looks good though. And it doesn't look cheap production which is good. Someone else said there lots of Americanisms so it's maybe made for bbc America. If any Americans have worked in the oil industry in Aberdeen this will be a treat just for the location shots not the story lines!

Entertaining enough
31 March 2024
Entertaining enough but the acting is so wooded it makes the script sound like it could have been etched on a tree! I'll watch it all to see what happens but I'm not sure I can recommend it to anyone. As IMDb only slows review that are so big I've copied and pasted so don't read on : ) Entertaining enough but the acting is so wooded it makes the script sound like it could have been etched on a tree!

Amazing footage but omg the music is awful
6 November 2022
I could honestly not listen to some parts of the awe inspiring footage for the shouting and wailing music. This type of music is so divisive I don't know why they didn't just use emotive classical music. It spoiled the whole documentary for me. What I did see with the sound turned down was amazing. The couple seem to have a death wish at times and are more thrill seekers than volcanologist. The footage they filmed is incredible though. To see the devastation volcanos wreck on human and animal life is heartbreaking. This is how our amazing planet began and to honour the death from our past we should do more to save our future.

Oh my I love this film!
12 March 2022
It's perfection! Every scene is like an old master perfectly staged. The acting is superb as is the directing costume everything. The only niggle I have it with hair and makeup. During the filming Kiera knightly had to have her hair cut for another movie so had to wear a wig. I've no idea why they couldn't gel the short layer up at the back. You can see it quite clearly under the wig. The wig by the way is great just that silly little layer sticking down at the back. It's annoying but it's still a10/10. I must have seen it 20 or more : o )

Tense thriller
27 February 2022
Anyone who has reviewed this and said that this is not tense is dead inside! This is tense. You have to wait til the tension builds but wait! I enjoyed it. The cast is great the acting is of course great and the story is good. The setting.....SPECTACULAR.

Clumsy retelling of a great life
6 August 2020
If someone watched this film and didn't know about radium and polonium they would thing that Marie and Pierre Curie we're monsters for discovering these elements. The discovery of these elements has saved more lives than they have killed. There was no need for the clumsy, sometimes fantastical story line that has no basis in truth, and poor confusing direction of the awful things that man did with these elements. We are not stupid! Hopefully one day we will get a well directed thoughtful story of the life of Marie Curie but this isn't it.

Who doesn't love poking fun at the USA, I know I do.

Silly irreverent fun. I'm not American and not a Trump fan so love all the jibes at POTUS which are obviously aimed at Trump. I can understand Americans being a little over sensitive though, but seriously get over it and enjoy.
