Posted on July 13, Updated on January 16, It makes for a more interesting and nuanced backdrop against which to play the usual cops and robbers game. But in fact the focus of this story seems to be the guest character of Ruth Blacksmith Eva Birthistle and her tangled relationships with her lover Aidan Theo James and her estranged husband Jason, whom we only meet post-bloody murder.
As longtime readers of this blog know, I absolutely adore Nordic productions like Forbrydelsen , Borgen and The Bridge. Instead, this production seems to have has been choked by a too-short commission, a bizarre gap between story transmissions, and finally left gasping for air by not having enough air time at the end of it all. The production and everyone involved deserves better treatment than it seems to have received. Episode two was at 9pm, Friday 13 July.
Both episodes have been available on ITV Player online. This entry was posted in Television and tagged case sensitive , crime , Darren Boyd , Olivia Williams , procedural. The problem was that the two part programme bore little resemblance to the novel and could have been sued under the trade descriptions acts. The story is very gripping and interesting, while the writing is wry, intelligent and sometimes tense too and the direction is solid.
The acting is as good as can be, Olivia Williams and Darren Boyd are both outstanding and their subdued chemistry shines through loud and clear. And when it comes to the support acting, Rupert Graves in very strung-up mode especially stands out, and the lady who plays Sally is very believable. The drama goes along at a good pace with each explanation unfolding nicely, but here come my only complaints of Case Sensitive.
Pacing wise, the first half is better and more compelling than the second, whereas the first half goes quite quickly during the last thirty or so minutes the drama slows down and I will admit my interest wavered slightly.
My other complaint is the ending, I understood most of the explanations leading up to that point and the revelation of the culprit was well done and clever, but it did feel slightly rushed through and some of it did come across as far-fetched making me reach towards the rewind button.
Overall though, Case Sensitive was excellent. TheLittleSongbird May 15, Details Edit. Release date May 2, United Kingdom. United Kingdom. Hat Trick Productions.
