Critic Reviews for The Cry: Season 1

It's horribly manipulative and stagey, and Jenna Coleman is woefully miscast.
Whether the rest of the drama, quite matches up to the intensity of this provocative proposition is moot.
Coleman's Joanna is alternately grieving or glassy-eyed and then yet utterly poised as a woman finding her peace - or winning retribution. She is matched by Leslie, who mines humanity in a selfish man.
The first episode is a packed 55 minutes, which bodes well for the rest of the miniseries.
If you're able to stomach a nightmare scenario that not even the blazing Australian sunshine can brighten, there is a compelling commentary on the perils of parenting at the dark heart of The Cry.
The versatile Jenna Coleman (Victoria, Doctor Who) is quite moving, and unnervingly enigmatic, in a four-part BBC drama.
