Cindy M Very well acted with appealing actors in roles that feel authentic. Jodie Whittaker: powerful, consistent Aimee Lou Wood: A talented preformer with nuance in her facial and body movements that convey depth beyond the script. Rofy Kinnear is solid, always a good performance where he becomes the character he is portraying. Brendan Coyle, oh Mr. Bates, how far you have fallen. Excellent job with the character. Robert Carlyle is outstanding in his portrayal of the everyman caught in a dilemma. Stephen McMillan is interesting to watch on screen and has great potential. The story is based on a true event and the writers did a good job adhering to the facts. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review William F Brilliant series about the effects of toxicity of the decommissioned steel works in Corby on pregnant mothers leading to children being born with deformities. Brilliant acting by the women involved, the town councillors, workers supposedly involved in the clean-up job, the lawyer working for the women. Gritty, realistic drama with an expert touch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Bart d Dramatic, intens, sad yet hopeful. Great acting from an Allstars British cast. Highly recommended. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Rob A To quote Winston Churchill: "How many times must the lesson be learned?!!" I speak here not about appeasement but about large companies recklessly polluting a (populated) area, leaving a trail of tears and devestation in their wake - then lawyering up and lying about it. We've all seen this before, on the news and in films like A Civil Action, Dark Waters and Erin Brokovich. Here the setting is Scotland circa 1997; a small town seeking to "reclaim" land formerly used for steel production experiences a cluster of birth defects and infant deaths. Based on a true story, Toxic Town (4 episodes on Netflix) is at once sad, reprehensible and gripping. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Brian M Not a new concept so it needed something to be relevant. It certainly got it, slick script but more so the cream of English actors belted this out of the park. Congratulations all and thank you. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Adam R It’s good not incredible very harrowing at the beginning but some of the performances are a bit over the top which takes away some of the realism.
