Afterlife (I) (2005–2006)
10/10
This is one of the best of all.
18 April 2023
Professor Robert Bridge begins a professional relationship with Medium Alison Mundy, writing a biography on her, he watches her at work, often helping, albeit with a sceptical eye.

I don't give many shows 10 star reviews, no other score would apply to this amazing show. Afterlife is engaging, thrilling, moving, it scares, it entertains, it intrigues, this show offers more than most. When I'm asked what show I'd most love to see return, this is it.

Think back to 2005, TV was away with crime thrillers and gritty mystery shows, anything remotely sci fi or occult based was very limited, I can think of Sea of Souls and one or two others, Afterlife was by far the best.

What a shame this incredible show lasted just two series, there should have been more, this show had a lot more mileage. They'd argue it ended on a major high.

Series one is terrific, series two is even better, the penultimate episode and finale are two of the best things I've ever seen, I sobbed.

The acting is incredible, Lesley Sharp is phenomenal, Andrea Lincoln is equally as good. Memorable guest performances from David Threlfall, Liam Cunningham and Natalia Tena, but there are many more.

10/10.
