Crossfire (2022)
5/10
Cracking first episode, however the quality nosedives at episode 2.
27 September 2022
A trio of families head for a holiday in Spain, but the relaxation is cut short when gunmen open fire on the unsuspecting holiday makers.

Well, you couldn't escape the adverts for this one, The BBC definitely plugged this one, it was everywhere.

Now I may be in the minority here, but I really enjoyed the first episode, and despite one or two quibbles, it grabbed my attention, and had me on the edge of my seat.....

Episodes two and three however, oh Dear, it fell apart quite quickly, the events were just impossible to believe, and the relationships that we were told about, they just didn't seem realistic or even possible.

The idea was a truly great one, a chilling concept, and as many people are aware, similar atrocities did actually happen.

Jason, truly the most ridiculous character on the box this year, he turns out exactly as I predicted, very lazily written.

The acting was very good, Keeley Hawes was excellent, I also enjoyed Josette Simon and Daniel Ryan, they were very good, just badly served for the most part.

5/10.
