Reservoir Hill (2009)
Very clever
When you watch these two series of short episodes you need keep in mind what they are - interactive TV aimed at teens.
The texts that Beth receives throughout both series are from viewers and the filming is done each week, 2 days before airing. Something like those pick-a-path books you used to read as a kid (to think that used to be called interactive)
With this in mind I think the quality is fantastic and I think it is well suited for its audience. It keeps you guessing, the pace is good, the acting is great and the fantastic soundtrack would work with any decent thriller. I am also very, very pleased that the filming does not include that 'handheld camera' style which leaves me feeling sea sick.
If you are expecting a well rounded storyline with developing characters, this is probably not going to satisfy.
