I wasn't entirely sold on the sudden personality change -- I wish they'd lead up to it a bit more -- but I did enjoy it and I thought it was successful.Adam Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634565262440008573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896069787782846811.post-56576034618217743762009-12-31T06:36:21.711-08:002009-12-31T06:36:21.711-08:00Yes, that was the quick shot, it just seemed like ...Yes, that was the quick shot, it just seemed like TOO much.

Well, yeah, I guess. Maybe I'm so accustomed to how heavy-handedly that scene would be milked on an American TV show that the relative briskness and speed of the treatment here seemed like the pinnacle of good taste.<br /><br />I rented and watched one episode of Alan Davies' hit show "Jonathan Creek." Sent the disc back without watching any more. Moderately enjoyably commercial mystery comedy.David Chutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606470667042155559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896069787782846811.post-16188172934392595262009-12-30T17:51:42.424-08:002009-12-30T17:51:42.424-08:00I wrote my glowing review after the third episode,...I wrote my glowing review after the third episode, but I wouldn't change it much after six...I agree that it could have lost an episode, and that the con-man subplot didn't exactly fit, but somehow it all felt okay to me...<br /><br />...except the very last scene, which I remember thinking was TOO much. I don't remember WHY I thought that, though.<br /><br />I see what you're saying about the strong love vs. speed bump tension, and that really worked for me: could all these totally-understandable problems ultimately ruin such happiness? Sadly yes, which is why I was totally stressed until the very end.<br /><br />Oh yes, Bob's day-after chuckling is exactly the sort of thing that Davies excels at, and I'm glad he can finally forget about the monster-of-the-week stuff for a bit.Adam Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634565262440008573noreply@blogger.com
