Convoluted. Full of plot holes and nonsensical decisions. Doesn't actually answer any of the questions that it raises. It had so much promise as well. Such a shame.

[Netflix] You have to be very generous, or very fan of Stephen Moffat, to buy this unlikely plot in which the characters make absurd decisions in order to fit the script's claims. Everything is so artificial, adjusted with such little skill that it loses the sense of irony, but above all its capacity for surprise. And it seems that not even the director knows quite what to do with this.

Interesting topic in concept, boring and in some parts ridiculous execution, with no big effort to examine the topics it wants to explore in more detail, staying surface level and trying to masquerade it with some classic Moffat "clever" dialouge.

And - as always - yet again another Moffat-Show that revolves around a man that is just TOO cool and smart but offers nothing more interesting than that - like idk, maybe an actual interesting character?
Sorry for being cynical but after Who, Sherlock, The Devils Hour, Jeckyll I kind of get the feeling all these supposed "clever boys" are just a glaring self-inserts on Moffats part who thinks he's just too clever for his audience.

In stark contrast to the self-perception I allege here - this series is convoluted, full of plot contrivances and nonsensical decisions.

this serie is a waste of time

This might be the worst show I've ever watched. It's only four episodes and was still a huge waste of time. Every bit of the plot is complete nonsense.

The show has a simple premise - “anyone could turn to murder if put in the right circumstance”. It works on two paths. Stanley tucci plays a jailhouse Sherlock Holmes savant with none of the charm. David Tennant plays a vicar who finds himself in an increasingly ridiculous situations.

The show starts off strong and you get a good sense of the characters but as the story continues the coincidences get to the point of ridiculousness. It might still work if the cases tucci’s character were solved with sone of Holmes cleverness.

In the end you have a show filled with fine actors performing two stories that are smushed together all in service of a final scene that doesn’t work. I almost wish they’d made two shows. It would have freed the actors/writers from these constraints and been more fun.

I do give the show credit for taking a chance to tell a complex tale. It certainly isn’t more of the same we see so often these days.

Just a really bad TV series transposition of The silence of the lambs. Painful acting by all the actors, including an unnecessarily pompous Stanley Tucci. Decent David Tennant, although his character is on the verge of ridicule. Two episodes are enough. Delisted.

There is nothing worse than a show that builds itself around cleverness that turns out to actually be very dumb.

I was excited going into the first episode - great cast, great premise, great genre - but my excitement quickly turned sour as I realized the show has very poor writing.

SPOILERS AHEAD
Nothing adds up here. People make ridiculous choices to drive the plot forward and escalate the situation because apparently the writers couldn't come up with anything more reasonable. You are asked to believe a man would sacrifice his life to protect a pedo, but would kill am innocent woman to protect his son. You are asked to believe that a man would be so naive as to think that being convicted of being a pedo would somehow "protect" his family (not to mention the impact it wouldhave on his community, their faith, and his religion in general). You are asked to believe carbon monoxide poisoning makes people murderous.

It's a huge bummer. With better writing this show could be so fun, and so good, but as is it's just kinda shit. With Moffat as writer, I shouldn't be surprised.

With plenty of twists and turns, this show will have you guessing until the very end. The storyline is well-developed and the characters are intriguing, making it easy to get invested in the plot. Overall, _Inside Man_ is an excellent watch for anyone who loves a good thriller with unexpected surprises at every turn

I gave this a **generous** 2/10 because the acting is good. This might be the worst plot out of everything I've ever watched.

Every character makes ridiculously, over the top, bad decisions the entire time. The entire premise is extremely flimsy, and the main message of the story is undercut by the lack of believability.

At least it was only four episodes. The last episode is the worst of them, and the final scene undercuts the rest of the already bad story.

Steven Moffat. Really that may be all I need to say. Incredible concept, brilliantly crafted, insightfully told. Great cast giving credible performances. Truly a unique and thrilling story. Such a twisted tale, right down to the twist in the title. I give this limited series a 9 (brilliant) out of 10. [Crime, Drama, Thriller, Mystery]

I just finished this on Netflix - all 4 episodes. It's a nice little drama-thriller - clever, funny, dark.

An entertaining rollercoaster black comedy. Good fun.

Great premise, and I love murder mysteries, but unfortunately it has many plot holes and is just weird at times.

Superbly clever writing, excellent acting, and a plot that pulls together "unrelated" people. Stanley Tucci's Grieff is a magnetic character and a brilliant detective. It's a tremendous morality play examining the sacrifices which relationships require. Great series (ignoring the factually-impossible post-credits clip)! "We are all murderers…on a bad day."

An awesome mini series with top notch actors.
Loved it. If you like police mysteries don't miss this BBC mini series.

Another terrific series from the BBC. Lots to keep you interested and a really good twist at the end.
Upping it from a 9/10 to 10/10

More tiring than fun. The characters are infuriating at time, hard to associate with.
