Good story, Not enough for a whole film

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Please allow me not to comment and review on the series itself, but a specific acting. I will leave the whole review of the series to more expert persons.What is having my mind blown is the acting skills and talents of Millie Bobby Brown, aged around 10.5 at the time. My sincere congratulations to this young lady who portrays a very difficult personality on the show and pulls it perfectly leaving viewers mesmerized and in shock. I would think this young lady's talents are at par with best of the best celebrities in the industry for the last 100 years. May she shine and flourish each day more and more.If you have doubts, just watch and be in awe!

BBC America brings us a supernatural paranormal mystery thriller that surrounds a mysterious secret society named Qui Reverti, which for centuries has known that immortality can effectively be attained by taking control of another person's life. The premise is rather simple. Each person has two souls. Prior to the death of a member of Qui Reverti , their consciousness, and/or soul, is activated through the use of a trigger. (An object familiar to them in that life.) A Shepherd is given the task of activating them both prior to death, and again with that trigger once a life has been found that is suitable for intrusion. At least this is what we know so far. The show is shrouded in mystery which will make it quite appealing to anyone who enjoys the genre.Based on the book "The Intruders" by Michael Marshall Smith, Intruders hosts an impressive ensemble of writers, directors, and actors to bring this show to life. Cast includes James Frain who plays Richard Shepherd, an assassin for hire and a shepherd/protector of Qui Reverti. Millie Brown who plays Madison O'Donnell, a 9 year old girl who is taken over by a centuries old serial killer named Marcus Fox. Mira Sorvino who plays Amy Whelan, a woman who is taken over by another woman named Rose Gilchrist. John Simm, who plays Amy's husband Jack Whelan, who is an ex-cop that gets caught in the middle of Qui Reverti's intrusion into his wife Amy's life and sets out to discover what happened to her.Despite the somewhat slow story progression, and only 8 episodes in the season (hopefully there will be more) the combination of writing, acting and directing makes intruders one of the better new shows this year. The acting skills of Millie Brown at just 10 years old is simply astonishing. A phenomenal show! I for one have enjoyed this series immensely. I sure hope there is a 2nd season.A must watch for any fan of paranormal or mystery.9/10

Best show on BBC America; adult with no fluff. Acting is incredible and the story is totally compelling. I love how it unfolds as we learn more about each character and are surprised by revelations and some rather amazing triumphs. Millie Bobby Brown is just an incredible child actor; hard to believe she's just a child, but she is. I am amazed at how at least three of these actors are English yet they pull off flawless American accents. Scenes between characters are intense, riveting; especially between Jack and Gary and Madison/Marcus and everyone. The show simply does not disappoint. The timing is fantastic, we find out what we need to know when we need to know it. Show leaves you wanting to learn more.

This has been an excellent series so far. The concept is original, the cast is superb, and the acting is wonderful. Millie Bobby Brown and Mira Sorvino specifically deliver performances worthy of awards. John Simm and James Frain are also fantastic in the series. The first few episodes were a little slow, but once you get past those few episodes and are well acquainted with the characters and the story, it's an addictive ride. This is a series that is more cerebral than many network or cable action-packed series. For me, this story was so compelling that I never missed the crutch of special effects or fight sequences that many other series depend upon.
