Audience reviews Filter by All Josselien Janssens a week ago Nick Hilton, in reviewing this series in The Independent, you all but admit doing your exclusive, entertainment critic journalism work while dealing with your taxes and/or cooking at the same time. So I'd question whether you have perhaps become a bit too complacent about your elitist professional position to keep a clear view. Because this is, in fact, an excellent series. Not only because Joanna Lumley is in it, although that alone will crank up the "I'll uncompromisingly grab you by the collar and keep shaking until the last minute" levels of any show. (True. I'm biased. Like most women of Edwina's daughters' generation who dabbled with singing and acting at 17 and realised just in time they would be dead by 29 if they did go all in, Patsy has been to me, what Marianne Faithfull is to Patsy, in an inverted sort of way.) As if the Illumleynation and otherwise exquisite actors wouldn't keep this series going by itself, the narrative is blowing your mind at every turn. The plot is indeed so convaluted, and the edge-of-seat-moments are so twisted and unpredictable that normally I would have switched it off after 15 minutes without giving it a second thought. I have a daytime job that requires all my focus so any convalutedness in entertainment or journalism, tends to lose me quite fast. Despite these incredible odds, retaining my focus is exactly what this series, somehow, unbelievably, managed. Thereby respectfully honoring the fact that, as opposed to Nick, most consumers of entertainment products, have to watch this in their spare time. Thanks to the Xmas break-factor, I greatly enjoyed binging it in two sittings. For all that duration, Fool Me Once kept me from ruminating about: - the clear and present effects of climate change where I live - the irreconcilably polarised state of US politics - the dreadful situation in the Middle East - Putin's next moves - the illogic of the declining enthusiasm in democratic countries to support one of them which is being invaded by a dictator, and - the directly related, nagging question whether in the near future we will still have the precious and delicate privilege of being able to consult fact based independent journalism at all in Western Europe. Keeping my mind off those issues, is an artistic accomplishment. Getting paid to watch tv is perhaps best left to others, while you deploy your clear and present independent journalistic intelligence in safeguarding that profession. 167 people found this helpful. Ashing Visser a week ago "Fool Me Once" is a masterpiece in the realm of murder mystery series, seamlessly blending a gripping narrative with impeccable character development, resulting in an immersive experience that leaves viewers on the edge of their seats.
