Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

tony osborne This miniseries started well - and the muted colors worked very well for some beautiful scenes. Basically though there was not enough material (or it was simply not narrated in sufficient depth) to warrant 10 episodes. The series upon which it was based was 'only' 6 episodes and so should this have been (imho) - or even less!I also felt that too many significant events only happened because of the unbelievable stupidity of some of the cast. I find this to be a cheap and lazy method of introducing plot turns and excitement. Furthermore the bad guy was only caught by a last minute revelation that, if true, could/should not - for credibility - have been so completely hidden up to that point. I had higher hopes for this miniseries based on the reviews I read.

ralphcrowhurst-706-378626 i find myself enjoying the show as each episode goes by , the characters are great the story ,although taken from the Norwegian series Øyevitne has been done very well, just wish i had leaned Norwegian as i would like to watch the original but the US story is grand out WOWSER, The main FBI agent who we all know is the killer and is privy to all information on the case Phillip had to come clean to Helen that he too was at the cabin when the killings all went down , because he saw SS Ryan Kane at a gas station .He gets to the hospital where Helen says she needs his help ,while Ryan is out of the car ,Helen finds a bottle of fragrance then looks around and sees a baseball-cap and sun glasses puts it together ............i am very much looking forward to the next episode

mtshaneyfelt This show is honestly terrific and has many needed themes that need to be portrayed in modern television. It's a roller-coaster of a show, before the 10 minute mark we have a make-out scene and a triple homicide. That is the opposite of boring. It's clear the actors put so much effort into bringing their characters to life. This cast deserves more seasons to come. The kinds of themes include internalized homophobia, gang violence, pedophilia, the foster care system, corruption in the system, and so much more. It challenges stereotypes not just for the LGBT community, but also people of color, parenting, and what a criminal looks like. It's not just intense, but intriguing. We see a million crime shows that all seem to be the same, and this show provides something refreshing and new to the table. 10/10 recommend.

atlasmb Two teenage boys have a haunting secret. And one of them is the foster child of the sheriff of Tivoli--a small New York town. Her past is shrouded in secrecy and she is happy to live unobtrusively where crime is small-time. She, Helen, is the center of this suspenseful series that starts with a murder and spirals out of control.Fortunately, Helen is played by Julianne Nicholson, who is eminently watchable. As she tries to juggle the demands of an alarming new case and the difficulties of fostering a teen whose mother is a junkie, she unexpectedly finds exhilaration in the gritty relevance of a "real" crime. Shot with a muted color palette, "Eyewitness" feels shadowy and filled with ominous intent. The musical score is moody. Even as the clues lead Helen into a wider story of corruption and crime, Helen is upbeat, bolstered by the support of her husband, Gabe (Gil Bellows. They are both veterans of "Ally McBeal) and her sense of accomplishment.The rest of the cast is solid, including Tattiawna Jones as Camilla Davis, an FBI agent who is determined to control the case and thwart Helen's efforts.This series is tightly written and manages to encompass many characters without feeling thin. I recommend it to anyone who likes suspense.
