Catch and Release (2021)
Well constructed
I watched all episodes of Series 1 in 2 sittings, which for me borders on binge watching. The pace at which the plot developed was just right. The questions and statements by the investigators were met with silence that was itself informative. Its good to see a story unfold at the right pace rather than the usual wide-eyed "I've got it" moments or OMG exclamations. The character of the inexperienced policewoman played by Henrikson was very good: A mix of uncertainty, frustration and thoughtful analysis of the events happening around her.
Recommended.
Partisan (2020)
Needs to be viewed
The premise of the story is chilling, reminiscent of Douglas Murray's "The Strange Death of Europe" (published 2017). There is far more to this than just a fenced community pretending to live the ideal life. It may be an uncomfortable plot to watch, but needs to be seen.
Outlier (2020)
Recommended
Outlier has been compelling. Two stories coming together in one mid-summer, with commonalities in their disturbing events while separated by several years. It would have been easy to present the stories with the crash, dash, bash approach that we often see, but instead the producers have used a steady pace, with the slow reveal of the truth. This is as it would happen in a small rural community where everyone knows everyone, where some have been damaged by the acts of others. Recall Woman at War. The characters were great, and allowed to develop with time and with the realisation of current and past events. I liked it a lot.
