RAVING REVIEW:\u00a0<\/strong>A series worth your time if you get the opportunity. A lukewarm start quickly expands into one of the most enjoyable shows I\u2019ve seen this year.<\/p>\n

\n

Already on series 4 (seasons for those in the US), LONDON KILLS offers a deep head-first dive into a fast-paced crime drama in the heart of London. The only issue you\u2019ll have is your desire for more; with only five episodes per series, I binged them in no time and was left wanting more. I can\u2019t wait to watch the fourth \u201cseason.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the first five episodes struggle to get their flow together, they\u2019re still enjoyable and paced well enough that you don\u2019t notice. I like how each episode is somewhat self-contained, but there\u2019s still an overall arching narrative. It seems like a lot of crime procedurals struggle with this. They tend to either focus too much on one or the other without a balance that\u2019s needed to keep you interested in both.<\/p>\n

You can tell that this isn\u2019t a super high-end production, but it\u2019s done in such a way that allows the series to play off of that aspect and make it feel more gritty or down to earth. The acting in the series makes it feel like a soap opera at times but then brings us right back down into the mystery of it a few moments later.<\/p>\n

I found it interesting while diving through reviews; there isn\u2019t a lot of middle ground, and most either seem to hate it or love it. While the overall ratings are pretty solid. I will admit that the short five-episode runs bum me out a bit. It\u2019s a trend across TV in general, I prefer the long runs, but I guess this is something I\u2019ll eventually have to get used to.<\/p>\n
