Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

lorriebeauchamp This show pulled me in with great acting and the credibility of the relationship which develops and deepens between the two main characters. I'm tough on shows, and feel that most of them don't deserve more than two seasons (a series should not just "go on forever", although that's what happens with too many of them - they get milked for more advertising revenue, the stars want more money, and the story line is stretched thin or extended, when really it was just one great story that should have only lasted one or two seasons to begin with). This one, I think, deserves a third season, if only to follow the ongoing challenges of Alison Mundy (Lesley Sharp) after the demise of her antagonist. The show carries two story levels really well - each episode covers a "ghost" story and background, while we continue the flow of Alison's personal life, made difficult by her psychic gift of being able to see and communicate with people who have "passed over" from life to a form of purgatory. As a highly-intellectual sceptic, Robert Bridge (Andrew Lincoln) is a wonderful foil for her drama, and a brilliant way to showcase the eternal battle between science and esoteric mysticism. Lesley Sharp can go from calm and angelic to screaming and hysterical within seconds; her acting is award-worthy in my humble opinion. I thought she very accurately portrayed someone who has been doubted, bullied, scorned and made fun of her entire life. Would have loved to have found out more about the wedding ring she's shown wearing when she has her tragic train accident! There's never any mention of an engagement or a husband in her life. I highly recommend this show for those of us who want to believe in ghosts, but can't quite wrap our heads around it.

ennor I saw the first series way back when, and found it amazing. I have only just revisited series 1 on DVD, and it was then that the true value of this show truly hit home.Lesley Sharp!!! Everything she does is excellent, but in this series, as reluctant medium Alison Mundy, she is truly breathtaking. Her clear blue eyes mesmerize, and her pain is palpable. There are a large number of unsung English actors, and she is one of them. Well supported by Andrew Lincoln (of "Teachers" and "Love Actually") this is Sharp's show. I could not take my eyes from her whenever she was on screen. And comparing this show with Ghost Whisperer is like comparing lobster with chicken nuggets.The story lines are gripping, engaging and even believable. Andrew Lincoln's character is drawn into the world of the medium with reluctance and skepticism. I liked both characters, but often was disappointed with them also. But I was never, ever bored, not even for a minute.Some British TV is very good - some is awful, I'm sure - but "Afterlife" is so outstanding it takes your breath away.

missericacourt Despite writing this a few years after the show's release, I feel compelled to write a review after re-watching some clips.The premise is simple. A medium, a sceptic, and a lot of paranormal activity. What sets this apart from other, similarly plotted shows and films is the incredible atmosphere and suspense built throughout each episode, and the fantastic performance of Lesley Sharp, whose depiction of depressed medium Alison is utterly compelling, powerful and, most impressive, very believable.Never before had I seen such a moving, emotional, tense and creepy TV show, and never have I been more disappointed that a show has been stopped. That being said, the two series were beautifully wrapped up, with a neat story arc and a final episode that was quite simply perfect. After watching it, I sat there in shock for a good while, barely believing how beautifully written and presented it was.I won't reveal the ending, but let's just say you may need a box of tissues on hand - I was sobbing! And for a few episodes, maybe a cushion to hide behind!

karmasells I loved this show at first but the on again off again relationship with Robert and everyone makes me angry. Robert is a first class jerk, God help you if he was your shrink. Robert should be believer after the previous shows concerning his son. Robert's ex-wife is a bitch and can't make up her mind either. I do like the fact that all the shows do not have a happy ending. There is too much conflict between the lead players to be friends. The acting is done very well. Does everyone in England really drink that much? There is a bottle of wine in most scenes. I watched both seasons in two days like a good book I couldn't put down.
