Conviction

Guilty Of Being Quality Entertainment--BBC's "Conviction" Is A Gritty Exploration Of Regret, Duty, And Loyalty
I'll be the first one to tell you--I'm sophisticated and classy. You know why? I watch BBCAmerica, and the Brits--they are the leaders of urbane and upscale entertainment. If you need any convincing, just watch an episode of "Footballer's Wives," "Mile High," or "Bad Girls." Of course, I'm kidding. These shows are brassy, bawdy, and loaded with bad behavior! But, you know what, they are also filled with life. They embrace their nastiness wholeheartedly and make no apologies for being pure popcorn entertainment. With language and nudity not permitted by American networks, it seems as if the genre of nighttime soaps has been revitalized by Britain. But that's not all BBCAmerica has to offer, they are just the shows that helped the network grow in popularity. Some other intriguing entries that recently aired in the US are on their way to DVD--there is a new hip take on "Robin Hood," the supernatural "Hex," and the complex crime story "Conviction." So beware! The British are...

Great British Crime and punishment movie
The movie is a Who don' it? to the very end. I have watched it many times over.

Beware the first episode BUT don't give up
This is quite funny really. I had had this series ordered on NETFLIX for over 3 months and it said LONG WAIT I got tired of waiting so I bought this copy. I watched the first episode and HATED IT thought it was CRAP very badly constructed disjointed just awful' despite the graphic OMG twist So I threw it aside and quit.... HOWEVER bored a few days later because U had nothing to watch I tried episode two (this is a 6 part series) and it was MUCH better. There seemed to be a more coherent thought process and the story began to become interesting. By the end I had really quite enjoyed it. SO here's the funny part when I went to put it on my DVD shelf I ALREADY owned it I kept thinking I had seen it before OH well LOL. Not the best I have ever seen but quite entertaining.
