I was dubious about trying this one, when I saw Emily Reid was the lead actress. Her acting had previously spoiled a couple of shows for me, so I wasn't thrilled to see her again. But the story sounded intriguing enough, so I thought I'd give it a go.
Once again, her terrible acting let the whole thing down. Who the hell does she know in the business to keep landing these roles? She cannot act to save her life, she doesn't have that special something that makes a good actress, has zero charm or appeal and is just in totally the wrong career. I don't know if it was just the bland, boring and wooden performance she was giving that made the whole thing so unwatchable (I had to quit about 15 mins into episode 2 - I did try, I swear) but it certainly didn't help. It's impossible to get gripped by a "Thriller" if the acting is less than thrilling.
Please, stop casting this woman in roles that are way beyond her skill set. I'm sure she'd make a wonderful extra, but that's about it.
