holchie Loved the first episode and could hardly wait for the second. Waited for something to happen or be resolved in the second episode, but never happened. Hopeful for the third episode. Nope. It devolved into some kind of a teasing B-grade movie where you anticipate something is REALLY going to happen, and it never does. I was so tempted to fast-forward, and wished I would have when it ended. Basically, if you want to watch it, watch the first episode, skip the second, and fast-forward through the third to when there is about 10 minutes left.

pvbklyn I'm giving it two stars for the camera work and some of the actors, namely Michael Palin, because he's Michael Palin and the actor who plays the detective. The young female lead I've seen in another series- -both roles were pretty ho hum. My wife watched the first episode and didn't want to continue because ghost stories aren't her thing. Not my thing either, but I thought the first episode showed promise. Then came the second episode. I had to keep rewinding my DVR so to speak because I'd drift off after a few minutes. The third episode just seemed like a big repeat of what happened in the first two and I ended up playing solitaire on my iPad while I listened to it. I won't say what the ending was but I'll just say it was not a big surprise. Whoever wrote this needs to rethink a career. I hope everyone associated got a decent salary anyway. I'll close by saying this is the worst series I have ever seen from the BBC and presented on Masterpiece Theater on PBS. Please no more like this.

SnoopyStyle Hannah Ward (Jodie Comer) works at a nursing home. She lives with her younger brother Sean and drunken mother Jan (Julia Sawalha). A social worker falls to her death along with the window and Hannah finds elderly patient Tom Parfitt (Michael Palin) cowering on the floor. He is sent away to a hospital and he leaves her his suitcase. Police detective Rob Fairholme (Mark Addy) investigates the likely accident unless the frail old man somehow pushed the dead lady. Hannah is disturbed by strange occurrences and tracks down Tom who has gone missing. She is confronted by a ghost from Tom's past.This is a BBC TV production. It's three hour-long episodes. It's a slow moody ghost story. It has a nice moodiness. It's a little too slow. There's no need for its three hour length. A conventional hour and a half movie would work fine. It's a ghost story but it's neither scary nor tense. It's a little spooky but that's all. Certainly, I watched this for Palin. He has a minor haunted role. It's limited but it's still nice to see him anyways. A shorter theatrical movie with a better payoff would make this better. I can imagine a J-horror with more effective scares.

Eliz Willingham Sadly full of nothing except a flat concept and dragging script. Ironically, not worth "remembering" except as an object lesson. Efforts at horror and suspense are clumsy and annoying—even laughable. Highly repetitive not-very-special effects—involving water dripping, water running, floor creaking, doors and other objects moving of their own accord, crashing (sound), noise off, vibration (visuals and sound), distressed onlookers, lights and shadows, a silly apparition, a reappearing small cowrie (shell), "Scarborough Fair" (as a song, tune, sheet music), intermittent shots of sky, beach, and buildings—and an hour of incoherent, uninteresting events don't make a plot, don't persuade the viewer to care for the characters, and fail to create interest in what happens next. Palin does little and the female lead somewhat more, but their efforts are mired in what seems to be a weak concept that is poorly realized. Set decoration is admirable in some ways and camera work is adept, but it must have been a bit boring behind that camera. The supporting cast (characters in the neighborhood and nursing home) does admirable work. The detective is the most compelling—and memorable—character in "Remember Me."
