Shattered hits the UK

From Lucy Mangan of the Guardian:

  • Shattered – a stonking showcase for its mesmerising hero
    “he is the perfect choice to play the lead in the new police drama Shattered (Mondays, Hallmark). Ben Sullivan is a homicide detective with multiple personality disorder. It’s been in apparent abeyance, but re-emerges – as luck would have it – in the opening episode when he and his new (young, blonde, idealistic yadda yadda) partner Amy come under fire from a serial-killing baddie. His alter ego tells Amy to shoot the man because he has a gun. Turns out he does not. They fake the necessary and get away with it, though young, blonde, idealistic, yadda yadda Amy is Not Happy.” Read more.

Durham County returns tonight to make us squirm

DurhamCountySeason3From Denise Duguay of the Montreal Gazette:

  • Durham County returns. Squirm
    “I admire Durham County because it is a very well put together drama. The turns in this story of a detective and his bloody work and life play against expectation, but not so often that they too become expected. The acting is just enough and not too much. The visual style is all its own. But I also find Durham County sometimes impossible to watch because it puts all these things to use in the study of very, very disturbing subjects and themes, all hideously, vividly illustrated.” Read more.
