I loved this show so much. It has suspense and romance and betrayal. It has Benedict Cumberbatch in it for goodness sake. It will rip out your heart and make you wanna cry ( I know I did), but you will enjoy the experience. This is one of the most brilliant works I have seen in a long time and I recommend it fully and completely. The Actors do an amazing job and even I loved how mysterious the plot was. Even when you have all the pieces, nothing is as it seems. There are plot twists every few minutes and as an avid suspense film watched, the fact that I couldn't guess the ending was brilliant. I loved this show, every second of it.

This is definitely worth watching if you are a fan of George Orwell's famous novel "1984". The series takes on much of the same material and ends in an equally depressing way. So if you are not bothered by the lack of a happy end, go ahead and watch this. Aside from the frustrating story, this does include some fabulous acting, though. Benedict Cumberbatch gave an Oscar-worthy performance. He really did all he could with his - admittedly - rather badly written character, Steven Ezard. It was very hard to emphasize with Steven because he was so unpredictable and not all of the inconsistencies could be chalked up to his mental state. But BC managed to draw you onto his side, at least. The script itself has some confusing dialogue and takes a long time to explain what was actually going on. It's okay that you have to keep guessing who's on what side but the key elements of the story and the main parties should have become clearer a lot sooner. Still, the time to review the series' issue is certainly here. Public surveillance and monitoring of individual citizens is not a distant vision any more like it was for George Orwell. It is very real and present at this date. Just think about smartphones. Or credit cards, bonus club cards,... Let's not even start with CCTV! We really ARE just one small step away from the scenario in this series and that is a system to combine and cross-reference all the data gathered through the various monitoring tools. If something like that would be found you'd be just where "The Last Enemy" begins. So, the series might be founded on frightening fiction that will probably become fact really fast, but it still should have ended on a more uplifting note. I do hope our future is not THAT bleak.

It isn't difficult to be paranoid about the intrusiveness of the computers, cameras and new ways of identification. The possibilities of misuse and control are immense. Ergo, comes this more than slightly disheveled and confusing TV mini series. It bombards us with gadgets and technical lingo, and unfortunately most of the time forgets about people and their motifs, what makes them tick and bleed. In this world in near future there is no way of escaping, our all existence is monitored and recorded, under the guise of anti-terrorism and state security.I do not disagree with the concerns of this TV show, for me the problem with it is that it does not manage to fully connect us or make us care for the protagonists. In the end it is like a cold video game for lonely souls not unlike most of the characters of this moderately successful endeavor.

Because I have the part of a tali ban there, "Dark Glasses". Was working with David Harewood in the movie. Wore the infamous Bin Laden cap, and dark glasses. .doh. Clean-up operations, . .corpse dispatchers. . Filming it was such a great experience with Director Iain B MacDonald. Very hot weather, up there in the mountains. The crew was great and had a wonderful time there. Never met Robert Carlyle on set (because we had different filming locations and schedule, even though we where connected in the movie, through communication stuff, I mean a cellular phone..I missed the opportunity to talk to Max Beesley about his part in "Torque". He was too focused on his role and didn't dare to bother him. Was just curious. .don't know if I'll ever get a copy of this episode. Just let me know if Episode 3 is coming.Thanks,Dark Glasses
