"Marcella" review by
Eva Diaz
7/9/16
Season 1 airs on Netflix
This is a Netflix original series, now streaming. It's a
British detective show, and since I love detective shows, I
thought I would watch it. Marcella (Anna Friel) used to
work on the police force as a detective but decided to leave
because she wanted to raise her family. Marcella returns to
the force after her husband Jason Backland (Nicholas
Pinnock) leaves her because he doesn't love her anymore.
Marcella decides to return to the force to catch a serial
killer, whom she investigated 12 years ago and who has
started killing again.
I didn't like this show at
all. The killings are very graphic, and I don't think
you need to show quite so much of the murder to make a good
serial killer story. I didn't root for any of the
characters, not even Marcella. I found them all very
unlikable. Also, the show has several stories within it, and
I was never quite sure how they fit together. The only
thing I liked about the show is it moves fast and isn't slow
like some dramas I have seen on netflix. If you are a fan
of British detective shows you might like this one. I give
this show a 1 out of 5 stars. I think it needs a lot of
work.
