Eyewitness

What should have been a perfect 6 episode mini series became a messy and highly frustrating 10 episode series .Towards the end it felt like this maze where you just keep going around in circles and you just can't get out of. Sure the villain was smart and always 10 steps ahead but it seems like they were too many idiots around him therefore it wasn't that hard to fool them .

Also I really don't get why Phillip had to reveal like legit towards the end that he was also there in the cabin.We all know he got the best look of the shooter as he was under the bed. A sketch could have been made much earlier thus avoiding the confusion about what the dude looks like. I struggle to understand in this day and age how one would rather be hunted by a serial killer than admit to being gay and cough up who was there in the cabin and what they were doing .Ahhh!! FACE PALM!! It could have been masterpiece!!

Two teenage boys have a haunting secret. And one of them is the foster child of the sheriff of Tivoli--a small New York town. Her past is shrouded in secrecy and she is happy to live unobtrusively where crime is small-time. She, Helen, is the center of this suspenseful series that starts with a murder and spirals out of control.

Fortunately, Helen is played by Julianne Nicholson, who is eminently watchable. As she tries to juggle the demands of an alarming new case and the difficulties of fostering a teen whose mother is a junkie, she unexpectedly finds exhilaration in the gritty relevance of a "real" crime.

Shot with a muted color palette, "Eyewitness" feels shadowy and filled with ominous intent. The musical score is moody.

Even as the clues lead Helen into a wider story of corruption and crime, Helen is upbeat, bolstered by the support of her husband, Gabe (Gil Bellows. They are both veterans of "Ally McBeal) and her sense of accomplishment.

The rest of the cast is solid, including Tattiawna Jones as Camilla Davis, an FBI agent who is determined to control the case and thwart Helen's efforts.

This series is tightly written and manages to encompass many characters without feeling thin. I recommend it to anyone who likes suspense.

What a great show!

The intriguing writing is complimented by visually interesting direction. strong images, good camera work and an eerie musical score. Not to mention very natural acting. We have strong women more messed up than their slightly more sensitive men, we have a young gay man way stronger than his closeted, popular "friend".

Refreshing to see the male/female relationship in a new light.

And there is a lot of horrible murder!

It's a great Whodunnit as well! Damn, you must check it out!

I wish this show a strong following and many more years on air!

I've only watched one episode, but like what I've seen and am optimistic about the rest of the season. If you're a fan of Julianne Nicholson, she's the lead character. If you're not familiar with her work, you should be. In this series, she again plays a woman with a troubled past, a role she does extremely well.

The series in not the usual legal, police, or hospital action or drama show. There is a murder, but the focus seems to be more on the characters' lives, emotions, challenges instead of solving the crime. Don't be misled by the gay-bashing reviews. That's only one relationship, in addition to the sheriff and her doctor husband, the FBI agent, her undercover agent, and the undercover's wife, the sheriff and her deputy, ... you get the idea.

If you've enjoyed shows, as I have, like The Red Road, The Bridge, Top of the Lake, American Crime (the one with Regina King and Felicity Huffman), give this one a chance, too.

I love this show a lot already. To have a realistic, gay relationship on a show as the main relationship is ground-breaking. There's also a lot of good representation and I enjoy the plot. This show takes place in a realistic setting with a lot of twists that those interested in mystery might enjoy. There's also a lot of dramatic irony and good character development, which also would appeal to watchers. There are a lot of characters that watchers can relate to and/or admire. There are some sensitive topics that are explored, and references to trauma, which only makes the characters more well-developed and the plot more interesting. There is some pedophilia, which I don't recommend, and inappropriate scenes in which I don't wish to explore again. But all topics do add on to the show's plot, so otherwise I suggest to watch Eyewitness, definitely, as this is an underrated show compared to many others. I hope more people watch this show and enjoy it as well as I do.
