Sherwood (TV Series) Episode #1.5 (2022) User Reviews

Episode 5

[Prismark10 · 7/10 · 28 June 2022]

There was a nice switcheroo at the end of the episode as the identity of Keats was revealed.

Until then I really wondered how Helen St Clair could face her husband after what happened to his brother and father during the miners strike.

It also explains the fractious relationship between DCS St Clair and DI Salisbury with the latter also being responsible that led to St Clair's brother suffering burn injuries.

The police manhunt is closing in on Scott Rowley but it is Andy Fisher on the firing line.

This is a nicely layered show with some clever writing. You do wonder just how much of this has been planned by Rowley or is he just hoofing it.

Bang in form with a bang.

It's back to 1984, to explore just who it what Keats is. Ian gets a little suspicious of his wife, and digs into her past.

The previous episode didn't quite work for me, this was bang on the money however. Full of shocking revelations, we learn that men who play the part of heros, are actually cowards and bullies.

Great special effects, wonderful visuals, 1984 is recreated and captured to perfection.

It now has established itself very much as a whydunnit, as opposed to a whodunnit.

I thought it had just gone off the path a little in the previous episode, this fifth episode however was wonderful.

Class, 9/10.

Gorgeous, untill..

..they asked the drunk person on set to hold the camera.

This is one of the best series I've seen this year.

The story is well told with an amazing cast and great acting. The complexity of the issue is handled with great respect.

A real treat.. I watched the first four episodes with care and respect because the makers obviously made it with the same mindset.

For me there was also a big sigh of relief because, one or two short moments aside, finally, FINALLY we got a director who didn't yank me straight out of the movie, leaving me with sickness and a headache, by using the corny documentary style camera work we are constantly fed the last decade.

Untill this episode. It is drenched in it.

I think the story is still good. Or let me rephrase, I presume it is.. I just wasn't able to watch it anymore. I feel betrayed and so very sorry for the actors who work their asses off to give us a great perfomance, only to be ruined by the horrors of the shaky camera.

So 6 for this one. No more 9.
