Saw [film only] I wonder what made me watch Saw again; probably I wanted to find out what led to its success and consequently to the sequels that followed. It was a low-budget horror film that was filmed in 18 days only, and probably you won't fail to notice this when you watch it.

If you are not hooked on the first episode, just give the second episode a try. You will ...
...not! If you like to watch something that keeps you thinking and guessing throughout, this is for you. The first series introduces us to all of the main characters adequately. You will be left wanting to know more. The focus on Tom's personal conflicts is a good touch, and emphasises the point many times that being a Spook is a top secret job, and comes with many difficulties. You want Tom and Ellie to work, but you know that it probably won't. The ... Read review
