Identity (2010)
4/10
Not the greatest.
27 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
No middle ground on this one - it's either incredibly dull (lots of office scenes in the style of spooks and 24 with the computer experts all staring excitedly at PC screens) or incredibly interesting but completely and frustratingly unbelievable. It would also appear that if Keeley Hawes is involved, the plot line will generally involve her wafting about an office, looking ultra-sophisticated, clutching a file/paper/clipboard and not generally doing a great deal, other than eyeing up a single colleague for future romantic storyline to keep us interested.

I've managed to watch two episodes before giving up as I couldn't see where the plot could go(and yes I know there's the other storyline about John and his previous life with the dodgy gangsters that's going to come back to bite him, but given that John's character's not developed enough for me to care about his future, what's the point?) Surely no one would continue to employ someone that is THAT unreliable?? In the real world he'd have lost his job at the end of episode one having stabbed father of villain in the leg (in order to obtain vital information from evil villainous daughter - yes honestly)

Am really disappointed. Particularly given the cast list. Bring back Luther.
