Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

assieyamin Had no idea what to except, never heard of the author or the book this is based on but once I watched the first episode I got it, was hooked and wanted to keep watching, this series is unbelievably good, nothing you will see elsewhere and a great science fiction treat! The visual/special effects /cinematography was flawless that I thought it must have been made somewhere in Germany, but no, here in the UK. I watched it through 3 times over, I loved it that much! Watch/enjoy/discover something different.

paul2001sw-1 The analogy to our world from the fictional universe of China Mieville's 'The City and the City' is both obviousand exquisite: two cities, one gleaming and prosperous, the other more resembling Geroge Orwell's 1984, occupy the same place; the people survive by of the act of will of seeing only one world. Perhaps disappointingly (and especially given Mieville's own Marxist politics), the political dimension is rather under-developed in this BBC adaptation; and David Morrissey's mumbling monontone hero is a hard character to like. As in the best science fiction, there are many interesting ideas here (especially around the concept of "breaching" the two worlds), but they feel somewhat underdeveloped, and too much of the story comes in flashback form. It made me want to read the book to see if the original made more of its foundation.

oldtraff So far I've struggled through 3 of the 4 episodes,it's extremely slow moving non of the characters are that interesting and there's very little plot development. David Morrissey plays the lead but his acting range is so ltd just like in Britannia fails to bring anything to the role. It's set in a city that is actually split into 2 cities but whichever part someone lives in, the other half of the city is blurred out and then there might be a secret 3rd city inside the other 2 cities,i know right It's supposed to be a murder mystery but Morrissey seems more concerned in using the investigation to find his missing wife who he thinks might've left him for the mysterious 3rd City.All of the flashbacks are of him and his wife,like we care. Normally when i get into a good TV series i binge watch until it's conclusion,I've found myself watching this one 20 mins here and there it's been a struggle.Going into the last episode i don't care who murdered the girl,if his wife is still alive and if there is in fact a 3rd city,hidden among the other 2 cities in one big city. Overall have found it tedious and a tough slog.

frukuk The confusing opening episode: the weird geography was bound to be disorientating, but the initial flashbacks of the detective's wife appeared, confusingly, to be contemporary.The interesting journey of the middle two episodes: the teasing possibility of the existence of something mythical.The disappointing resolution of the fourth and final episode: so this adaptation (if not the source novel itself) is really just a police procedural with a murder investigation that spans a border that's difficult to cross?
