Amy K While this may feel like a slow burn detective series, it is one of my absolute favorites in the 2020's. Amanda Seyfried plays a complex, brilliant detective, who is more complex than her male colleagues give her credit for. The writing, directing, and acting were brilliant. What makes this series truly unique is the way that it treats violence against women with delicacy and respect. There are no gratuitous scenes of violence, and instead, it weaves a complex mystery, while elevating the issue of how many women are forgotten, trafficked, and abused on the streets of America, and it happens in front of our eyes. Kudos to Amanda Seyfried and I hope there's a second season. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Gareth v There is a decent enough story here, but it's a shame the direction of this show takes us down the Hallmark/soap-opera path in it's final few episides. Amanda Seyfriennd is a fine actress, but the casting of her as Mickey just doesn't work here. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Geoff R I will never try to watch a TV series on Peacock again. The constant commercials destroy any sense of the drama. Dreadful. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Kat D Part police drama, part daytime soap opera, part Hallmark movie. The dialogue leans towards the latter two. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Avindu G For Kaceys and Mickeys there's a world shared by Simons and Trumans to conquer. And that story of many heartbreaks and hardwon victories was brought to life by some truly amazing performances by the cast. This may not be what's advertised and an exact transition from the book but it's a product of brilliant minds. Decay and chaos of living cemeteries was captured very well through excellent cinematography and great visuals. Audio effects were in sync with the viewer's thoughts intended to be brought out. It's a touching tale in a time where collateral damage is oversimplified, making this Long Bright River therapeutic. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Mathison K Slow burn. Dark. Seems like the police officer neglects her son too much to pursue her investigations. I stopped watching when she started sucking face with her partner. Not interested enough in any twists or the ending. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
