Summary: Clive Owen is Hot
Review: It's a predictable mystery but it's well packaged and, as I said, Clive Owen is hot! There's some intensely erotic moments in this series that make it worth watching even though the average mystery fan will have the plot all figured out way before the climax. Yes, I've admitted elsewhere that I am incredibly shallow at times, and this is one of them.

Summary: masterpiece it is
Review: its about a detective Ross Tanner(Clive Owen, who is superb in this role) who solves some cases then starts to lose his vision along the way. great direction and imagery. all the episodes are great, like the Insomnia ones where Owen cant sleep and he sees this figure in his room, brilliant. also theres one about a sleepwalking girl and the end episodes where Owen tries to solve a case about a building being bombed, that part where the building explodes and Owen is right next door in the coffee shop is riveting. then at the end Owen quits because he is going blind. a powerful and masterful drama show. not to be missed for fans of Owen. truely some of his best work here

Summary: Second Sight 1, Clive Owen 5
Review: There is something about this guy I cannot put my finger on. He is not as pretty as Ewan McGregor or Jude Law but definitely more versatile than both combined. From Croupier to I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, he looks different in each role. Some of his characters are more repulsive than attractive, but still he never lost my interest.

Summary: Dark mystery
Review: This is an outstanding detective story, combining very contemporary elements with the taut, unrelenting pacing that traditionally characterizes the best British mysteries. Clive Owens' performance is superb, and shows unmistakably his potential for far meatier roles: Gosford Park finally gave him a major vehicle, but he could do even more. Claire Skinner is beautifully matched with him, and their dramatic interplay allows them to develop as real personalities, not just puppets to move the plot along. It would be good to see them together again.

Summary: Thank God for the BBC!
Review: This two-part episode is the first of four engrossing mysteries with stoic, sexy DCI Ross Tanner (Clive Owen) leading a detective unit investigating really gruesome murders. Brilliant but star-crossed Tanner is strickened with a rare virus that is destroying his eyesight so he must conceal his ailment to keep on working, which leaves him vunerable for the first time in his life. Forced to use his other senses to compensate, he methodically sets out to solve the cases anyhow. The visuals are just great as the viewer experiences things from his perspective: hallucinations, blurred images, great flashes of light and vertigo. In his personal life, he goes from rollerblading, bar-hopping and neglecting his parential duties to having his bitter ex-wife eat crow, having his young son pity him and having an affair with a co-worker who is willing to assist him to further her own career. Try to watch the 4 well-written episodes in order so you can observe his subtle character arc which seems very genuine as he heroically struggles against a major disability and works through deep denial. The supporting cast is very good and their characters seem very genuine. His apartment is very cool. Yeah, BBC! This refers to VHS, I don't think the first part is available in DVD. Just one more reason to not ditch the VHS player just yet.
