The Pact

I can't understand why the low score. Well maybe I can. It's four women in the lead. It's a Black woman as the senior police officer. It's the presence of an utter turd who gets himself offed because he's an utter turd. 'Not all men' I hear you say. No not all men. No man I know behaves like that but you can hardly deny they exist. Anyway this isn't a true crime drama it's fiction so get over yourselves.

Great cast and great acting. And a surprise whodunnit. Well it surprised me anyway. Enjoyed it.

Having read the previous review I understand what they mean. However I'm currently on the third episode and quite enjoying it. More is happening behind the obvious and it's certainly worth sticking with. Good afternoon or an evening's viewing.

It started interesting with a promise of a juicy story with a nice cast. But quickly it became far too predictable with manufactured and unbelievable characters in a chain of annoyingly stupid choices.

I decided to watch the whole thing because some reviews here mentioned an unexpected twist in the end. There was no such thing.

A few points out of respect for the actors who had to work with a very crippled script and somehow got me through the episodes.. Except for the actress who played the main character Anne. A lot of dramatic staring in the distance with her mouth open and pausing far too long before producing her lines. In the end I had to look away every time she appeared.

While almost the entire rest of the cast did a far better job on it, I would especially like to see more of Jason Hughes.

Was really good to see his face again.

I caught this show accidentally. I had no plans to watch it until I saw trailer.

The characters are great the plot was very interesting on both seasons. It pulled me in and made me watch both seasons in three days.

There is nothing I would change about this movie other than the characters did repeatedly wear the same clothes on different days.

This movie gave a twist to the plot and the things that happened I wouldn't have expected.

Both seasons were jaw dropping and made me crave more. I hope there are more seasons to come. I look forward to watching more episodes. Great job everyone!!!!!

The BBC have had some hits and misses with recent thriller / dramas, and this is one of their hits. Good on the BBC for modernising their view on audiences by putting all episodes on iPlayer for us to binge watch.

We were really disappointed with the pursuit of love, with no bones and sparse storyline. The Pact, however, had us glued to each episode until we reached the final conclusion. No spoilers here, but if you love the Welsh countryside from Monmouth to the head of the valleys road, a compelling storyline that builds, twists and turns, and are willing to spend 6 hours to be thoroughly entertained, then this is for you.

Pay no attention to Marmite reviews - make your own mind up.
