I am not a big fan of Indian movies or series - and that includes Malayalam - especially not a fan of the song and dance genres which dominate Indian Cinema.

But this series took me by surprise - story based on hard-hitting facts - excellent acting without a hint of overacting - solid character development - all culminating in a very realistic rendition of the wildlife and poaching world and all the while keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Wouldnt be wrong to say its a great Indian thriller genre series.

Also gave me a newfound respect for those who have dedicated their lives to preserving nature and wildlife.

The first time I tried this I switched if off after just 10-15 minutes. I tried it again just based on the glowing reviews.........I was hooked after the 4th or 5th episode and never looked back. To say William Macy was good is an understatement - more like the role was made for him. Once I got into the whole feel and into the characters - it became almost addictive. The whole series was superb and the downturn started with the exit of Fiona - for me that was the turning point and after that, it was all just downhill. They had begun running out of steam and "overmilked'. Having said that - the cast, after the first few episodes, got into character and were just brilliant!

This was as near perfect as anyone could get - its a pity that we dont have such quality political-courtroom dramas in the English language. Inspired by true events - this keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire length with no let up. Acting and plot delivered completely.

I had no idea that such events occurred in Argentina and this was an eye-opener - probably was not given that media attention as was warranted. The primary protagonist - the government prosecutor -performed his part with admirable authenticity.

Besides being hugely entertaining, this story - as cliched at it is - gives us a reminder as to the danger of power going to the heads of leaders.

I am an action/thriller non-slow movie kind of fan - and tried this on the off-chance it may be good. Of course having Toni Collette and Damien Lewis helped!

After a slow start - it turned out quite the emotional roller-coaster ride. Suffice to say I was pretty blown away by the emotion it kindled. Its a feel-good movie in its quintessential form - kudos to the director and actors - all of whom did a great job....

One of the all time great TV series. The characters are entirely believable with realistic traits. Great acting and especially kudos to the Kendall character. Hope it continues for more seasons.

Totally unexpected............what a gem! Titus Welliver is underated and proves his mettle here as he portrays a gritty ex-special forces detective in Hollywood PD.

Its so surprising that this serial is so low profile - but quality-wise should be up there with the likes of 24, Spooks, Criminal Minds, Dexter etc, etc.

Relatively modest cast who really bring their game.

This show really begs the question of how come its so little known.

Kudos to writers, directors and cast.

Splendid!

I did not expect it to be this good - nothing fancy, just a good entertaining movie. Found it better than 'Atomic Blond'. With a fairly light cast - only Charlize Theron and Chiwetel Ejiofor are fairly heavyweight, still managed to entertain well with an old but nicely done plot involving immortals.

Charlie Hunnam was phenomenal in this role - he was just right without any overacting. The scenes in solitary were sheer excellence - even his physical appearance screamed physical, mental agony and starvation. The loyalty and friendship between the two lead actors was emotionally heart wrenching and the escape attempt scenes were palpitating............

And yes, the 1973 original was superb with superb performances from superb actors...............it is perplexing to see how those great performances could have diminished these performances!

What a superb plot! Some better writing and a stronger cast could been been the difference to making this movie great. Could have made more use of Michael C. Hall as well.

Humour at its best with this quirky yet lovable family. There are so many laugh-out-loud moments - their antics and their quirks are endearing and hilarious - best French comedy series I have seen. Waiting for season 2
