-Hi everyone, Its Mr C Reviewer, The Show we are here to talk about tonight is (Drum roll) Sex Traffic. This is a TV two episodes mini-series. In March of 2023, I had the opportunity to buy and watch both episodes on Prime Video, with a runtime of about 1 hour and 30 minutes with each episode. The TV Show was rated 18 in the UK and was first released in October 14, 2004. 'Sex Traffic' was directed by David Yates and written by Abi Morgan.
Summary
This powerful drama sheds light on a dark and often hidden crime that affects millions worldwide. It follows the harrowing journey of two sisters who are lured into the sex trade and their desperate attempts to escape. Through their eyes, viewers witness the brutal reality of this global issue and the devastating impact it has on victims and their families.
Review
-Although episode one began with a prologue that effectively established the mood, I personally find such introductions somewhat annoying. In contrast, episode two picks up right where the first episode ended, which I found more engaging. In my opinion, the acting in the show was quite impressive. I appreciated that non-English dialogues was accompanied by subtitles, although I think that it would have been even better if subtitles were available throughout both episodes. At times, this mini TV series expertly portrays the harrowing reality of sex trafficking from a female perspective, shedding light on a pervasive global issue. One scene in particular caught me off guard and made me jump while watching the episode.
While I appreciated the realism that the shaky camera added to scenes featuring running characters, I found it somewhat distracting. In particular, there were moments where the sound quality fluctuated due to the switching of cameras for different angles. Overall, while I acknowledge the intention behind using a shaky camera, I personally would have preferred a more stable approach. One aspect of the story that particularly impressed me was its balanced portrayal of different perspectives. We were given insight into the experiences of both the victims and those attempting to help them.
While I enjoyed the show, I felt that the series would have benefited from stronger writing. The large number of characters introduced in the series made it feel somewhat overwhelming. In my opinion, the story would have been more better if it had delved deeper into the characters. Specifically, I believe that more attention should have been given to the relationship between the two siblings and the other victims, I feel that if we was Introduced to Daniel's character from one of the siblings' perspectives before immersing the us the viewer in his own viewpoint could have potentially enriched our experience of the show.
For each Show that I watch, I rate it out of 10 so for this am going to give it a 8, Remember this was what I thought about the TV series personally and I suggest that you give it a go for yourself.
