Red Eye: Crimson Icarus. Television Series Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Jing Lusi, Lesley Sharp, Jemma Moore, Martin Compston, Nicholas Rowe, Jonathan Aris, Trevor White, Tom Forbes, Richard Armitage, Robert Gilbert, Hannah Steele, Tom Ashley, Steph Lacey.

It is with surprise that the second series of Red Eye seems to have learned the lessons presented by its initial series and produced a far more intriguing situation to be investigated by D.S Lee and one that releases the damaging limitations that shrouded Jinh Lusi in the lead role and which reinforces a truth that the world at large is not only caught in the crossfire of ideology, but that at its very core it suffers from the best laid plans of those we might consider to be serving our own best interests.

Red Eye. Television Drama Series.

The detective drama could be said to have eaten itself, a truth of this can be found in its ever-increasing ways in searches for a way to be unique, to have the ‘room’ in which the murder occurs be as far from the drawing room mystery of old as possible, and perhaps be almost considered at times to be more concerned with the seemingly unerring device rather than the character of the piece.
