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.

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.

In the best laid traditions of James Bond, Her Majesty’s Government, and the Secret Services, it takes a psychopath to catch a psychopath, however the instrument of such bluntness is a cold steel walnut going up against a fragile glass hammer when it comes to penetrating the exterior of the film lover, especially when such a tale is presented without the humour of 007 or the best laid plan of a worthy adversary.

For Christine Lucas, every day is a fresh start. Where others might resolve to begin the day anew and go out of their way in which to make other’s lives better, for Christine Lucas, each day is a torture, a realisation that she has no idea who she is or why she looks older than her suggested mind age of in her 20s.
