Cape Wrath (2007)

"Meadowlands is a sunny place!" The words would give you an expectancy of a drab, happy little suburban drama - comedy but in truth it is so much more.The characters are very well portrayed, the storyline well thought through and written.The darkness of Meadowlands/Cape Wrath will draw you in and keep you watching, wanting to find out why all the people are as they are.It's a very good watch, but go in prepared for some spine-chilling surprises.There is never a moment where you aren't in suspense, or worried for a characters personal safety, you feel empathy for them, but at the same time, are wary of the darkness you can feel in their natures.Meadowlands/Cape Wrath is a top watch for someone looking to be intrigued.

If you haven't seen Meadowlands yet, I suggest you at least watch the first episode which can be found at the showtime website.This is a risky new show which plays off a family's mysterious past that haunts them as they try to build a new life in Meadowlands, an eerie town devoted to housing witness protection clients. The show raises a few enticing mysteries such as "Why is Meadowlands so safe?" and "What happened to this family?". So far the series is delving deep into the relationships among the townspeople and some shocking events ensue.The show can be creepy and even horrifying at times, it's not for the faint of heart (which you should know by its TVMA rating). This is the first British television show I've seen, and it really is fabulous. All I can say is, another amazing show on Showtime. Highly recommended.

I have to tell you this series has great possibilities. I love the look of the show. It reminds me of the "Prisioner" with a 21st century twist. The ladies are beautiful and the story is dark. Let's hope the plot thickens. British TV has always had a different twist compared to US shows. HBO being on another level of course. We were wondering if those homes are a real place or a set built or maybe some kind of CGI. What ever it is a beautiful setting and the colors are just beautiful. Thank you UK for all the entertainment you have given us over the years. I know you will find more to add to this already complicated mystery.

Why hasn't anyone commented on this programme yet?I knew nothing at all about it going into the first episode but I will definitely be watching more. I don't want to give anything away as to what Meadowlands is about but I would best describe it as a cross between The Prisoner and Twin Peaks. Nice to see an English cast and UK filming. I thought Showtime were an American company? If you like your TV a bit out of the ordinary with quirky characters and an air of mystery then this is for you.This series has huge potential. Well worth trying.
