Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

the audience applauded

An Exercise In Nonsense

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I'm lying in bed with the flu & on the tv Film 1 is showing the complete first season of Eyewitness so I think, why not? Despite the flu I just had to get up & say: I love it. excellent! Moody, well acted, it sucks you in. It reminds me somewhat of the other off beat serie I loved, Tin Star. Small town, new sheriff with a mysterious past & the unfolding of unexpected events (except for the main baddy being the main FBI man - I'm afraid I saw that coming some way off).Looking forward to the rest & I gotta say that for an American series the gay aspect surprised me. Well done all round. Watch!

Well, I have to admit that I was attracted by the gay element inside this TV series. I really love the feeling Philip and Lukas gave me. But the color of the whole series is too dark and I hate that very much. it's unnecessary and it really makes me feel uncomfortable all the time. This needs to change. Philip Shea is probably my favorite character in this show. He's kind and cute. He knows sacrifice and he is willing to love and give. I'm impressed by this character. I hope that there will be Season 2!!!!

I am sorry to all the lovers of this show, but I do not think that this show lives up to the standards of the original at all. I watched both the American and the Norwegian version during a couple of days and I have to say that this version of this tale manages to fall flat. I became really interested in this show because of it's thrilling plot and the fact that it portrays a gay romance. The main actors are not bad, but the script is really awkward. Because of this, the only thing that interested me were Philips and Lukas story-line, the rest I just felt like skimming through. I also do not like the way that everything is filmed. Maybe it's a style preference, but I feel like they shoot (film) from some angles that are a bit awkward or inexplicable. Because of this I don't feel like we get to see what the actors are really portraying, and instead everything just feels awkward and stressed.

Eyewitness is one of the best things on TV I would say. It's not something that has a lot humor and if you can't watch drama, probably not your show, which is okay. However, it's not a show that is gonna make you depressed to watch. It has a very good story line and plot, it is not simply just about Philip and Lukas witnessing the murder and struggling with not being able to tell, mostly because of Lukas being paranoid of people finding out he's gay. There are many plot lines in this, like a ex FBI agent (now Philip's foster mom and sheriff in a small town), a FBI agent with a sister in serious trouble, and of course the killer. So you aren't just seeing things from Lukas and Philip's eyes. The writing is not predictable and you will be surprised and entertained.This isn't a show that is in poor LGBT taste, there aren't any gay stereotypes in this.This cast is really great, despite the fact that most of these actors aren't known. everyone on the show does a amazing job, I really love what the actors who play Philip and Lukas are doing.
