The Victim (TV Mini Series) Episode 4 (2019) User Reviews

multidimensional people

[Rob-O-Cop · 9/10 · 14 May 2019]

A sobering reflection on crime, who commits it and the many victims it creates, but at the same time a much needed insight, when all we're given is black and white, this is the shades of grey, the fleshed out people beyond the headlines and simplicity we digest, this makes us think the story through from all sides, not accept the first impulse, and the script is so well done there is no cliche, no obvious, no dumbing down. The acting was exceptional, Kelly MacDonald's grieving, angry and broken mother showed the multifaceted sides of what it's like to be in those unenviable shoes, to be who she was, a nurse, of compassion, and have to face the unimaginable. James Harkness equally delivered on the impossible, the human face behind the perpetrator of the unthinkable, questions of redemption, and if it's possible, forgiveness and who it helps, healing, and the wounds that can't. There's a lot to take in here, and it's mostly stuff we're never asked to contemplate in our world of easy blame and easy punishment. Brave TV making, thoughtful writing, and brave actors. Exceptional

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there."

too much tear in this episode nice cliffhanger but not very fabulous.

Off the scale!!!

This concluding episode is absolutely terrific, it's a powerful and dramatic episode, that has you gripped, whilst feeling sad, confused, empatheric, and definitely contradicted.

You finally get the answer to the main question that's run through the series, who exactly is The Victim?

The performances are quite superb, it's Kelly MacDonald that shines, James Harkness here is just as good. There is an incredible scene between Anna and Craig.

One of the best things I've seen in a while. 10/10

The bloody life is spoiler

It's hard to find the words that closely describe the mass of turbulent feelings grooved inside the human heart. So my advice is to watch and find out....

Now we know who Eddie J. Turner is

In some ways the twist in The Unbecoming is similar to the twist in this finale of The Victim. The twist is there's no twist. None.

Yes, Craig Myers is Eddie J. Turner after all, even though I think in episode 1, DI Grover (John Hannah) was categorically told by the higher-ups that he wasn't.

Cal MacAninch as Christian, simmered in this episode. He should have got top billing.

The ending was gut wrenching. I must admit, I had to have the captions on because I experienced difficulty understanding the Scottish accents.
