Joe Barnwell I recently watched flesh and blood in my media studies lesson and was impressed with seeing Christopher Eccleston's moving role of how working class families handle with "disabled" children.This encouraged me to watch more of Christopher's performances. Perfect parents did not disappoint. With a believable performance and interesting plot twists the story is engaging. The gun was a huge surprise for me. While sections may seem mellow dramatic that can be part of the fun when watching drama. Interesting camera angles used appropriately and plenty of aesthetically pleasing scenes which are both believable and eye catching.Recommended for anyone who wants more from Christopher Eccleston.
lou-138 I personally could have done without the thriller part. To me the best parts of the show dealt with the daughter Lucy's religious awakening. Particularly the last scene of the movie. I could see a sequel (or ongoing series) highlighting the increasing conflict between the devout daughter and her atheist father.You could do a show every Christmas ending in a show where the daughter decides to become a nun or missionary (perhaps in a very dangerous part of the world). There is lots of material for in between episodes also with all the issues there are in the world for a devout girl to reconcile her faith with.
sjr89 I thought this was a great drama, a bit far-fetched maybe but very well acted and full of suspense. I am a big fan of Christopher Eccleston and always watch stuff that he's in. I'm also a teacher and have a young child so was very interested in the stuff to do with choosing schools etc. I do agree with the comment saying that they had tried to include an awful lot of themes e.g Religion, Education, Murder, Paedophilia etc.I was really enjoying this drama, having recorded it. Unfortunately I got to almost the end and it hadn't recorded so I missed the end. Would anyone be kind enough to tell me what happened after the Mother Superior arrives at the house? I'd be very grateful, Thanks.
Idgykitty what a preposterous story ,murder blackmail,child sex allegations ,gays and the catholic church.....absolute tripe. How is it that most UK based TV dramas ,sit coms etc have to include the obligortory Gay,its really getting tiresome now. Everybody accepts that there are Gay people in society just has there are other minority groups,but we don't want it ramming down our throats(i'll pass on this one) in every single show. Apart from the above, the drama went from what could have been an interesting little story into a pantomime,the priest was a paedophile and there are gays running about every where,oh yes just to be totally PC one of the gay couple was black.i am surprised at c ecclestone for even contemplating this when he read the script.
