      Collateral (2018)


      Season 1
      Collateral

      Critics Consensus

      Collateral's social commentary is sometimes overbearing, but strong performances cut through an overcrowded script to suggest that good intentions can count for something.

        I am a big fan of Nicola Walker. I think this is about the only show I've seen with her that I didn't care for. I am so sick of having a certain native shoved in my face. If it had any good quality to it that's one thing. This is just thrown at you with no good quality. This is becoming the norm and it's really sad.

        Another poorly thought out drama with far too many "political" undertones. The story is full of holes (like you witness a murder and the police don't even check your that name and address is correct) and the acting is far from convincing, which to say the cast it has is probably the biggest disappointment!

        Nothing innovative or new here. Just another woke police drama built around promoting women over men and the LGBTQ agenda - all while portraying Christianity in its worst light and seeking to garner sympathy for Muslims.

        Brilliant!!! SO enjoyable!!!! It's a must watch from me!

        A dark, intelligently written detective series. Great lead performance by Carey Mulligan.

        Sigh... the story was good, Carrie Mulligan was good, it looked good, the pacing was good. Every male character was stupid, and/or evil and/or gay. Every female character was brilliant and/or a victim and/or gay. Carrie Mulligan has since been in The Dig and A Promising Young Woman, both of which I would describe in exactly the same terms (good etc., every male character etc.) with the exception that these latest two had one male character and one female character that bucked the trend... Collateral has no exceptions, and in this respect is woefully over-egged. Is the presence of Carrie Mulligan a coincidence? Movies in the past were biased the other way, but the female characters were underwritten rather than being uniformly stupid and evil, and the bias in the past was not a good thing... flipping the genders does not make it look any better, does not redress any balance, only makes the finished product appear slightly foolish, which is a minor irritation and overall this is an enjoyable watch which had me clicking Next Episode to see the story progress.

        Just watched one episode. Long, long atmospheric shots where nothing happens but scary music. Seemed intentionally "arty" and tricky, just annoying. The characters interested me but I lost patience with all the empty minutes of flashing lights, scary music and zero plot.

        The writing is atrocious. Whole other level of ham-fisted. Whilst I don't necessarily disagree with the ISSUES, EVERYTHING ARRIVES WITH CAPITAL LETTERS, eg. "I'M NOT AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER, BUT I LIKE TO THINK I'M NICER THAN THEM." ie. ISN'T IT TERRIBLE HOW ASYLUM SEEKERS ARE TREATED?! or Immediately after sex: "I AM A LABOUR PARTY POLITICIAN, YOU KNOW", ie. Character Trait: Labour Party Member, Cares About Community. You're naked and you want to talk about this? Immediately after belting 'Jerusalem' with GUSTO: "BEING A SPY ISN'T ABOUT SOLDIERING. IT'S GIIIIRLS STUFF!" (This part was so bad, I thought the character was being sarcastic. Turns out not.) In short, none of the characters seem real. Every line has fucking obvious subtext. Even simple interactions aren't convincing, because they are so couched in THE POINT. Characters are just archetypes with which TO MAKE A POINT, BECAUSE THIS SHOW IS MAKING A POINT. DO YOU SEE THE POINT? DO YOU? Imagine if I continued explaining how unconvincing and heavy handed it is for another ten lines, even though I've made my point. (Man, it's every time any character opens their mouth!) That's the show.

        Some Of The Greatest Writing and Complex Storylines I Have Seen In Years WOW, what an excellent 4-Part series-with a killer soundtrack as well. Collateral has something for everybody:It's a murder mystery, It's a political drama, It's a spy thriller. As you follow this very complex tale you cannot help but feel the intrigue and tension build. It is a tremendous shame the British Academy Television Awards only saw fit to give Collateral only 2 nominations. Collateral is a must watch for everyone in 2019.
