Movie Reviews of The Crow Road
Movie Review: A fantastic series that challenges the viewer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific series, but it does make some demands on the viewer. The frequent flashbacks (sometimes flashbacks within flashbacks) can be confusing on a first viewing; the Scottish brogue is sometimes difficult to understand; and anyone who has not spent some time in Scotland will probably not fully "get it." But if you make the effort to get past these things, this series is enormously rewarding. I'm watching it for the second time and getting so much more out of it than I did at first. Still, I loved it the first time too. And I am not exaggerating when I say it sometimes has me in tears, it is so moving.
But if you're the sort of viewer who does not want any challenges, you should probably give it a pass.
