The Boy That Never Was

... this being a relatively short four-part mini-series, don't make the mistake of just watching one or two episodes believing you've seen all you need seeing... for it starts off totally in one direction, twists and turns in several (for some might be too many) and ends in another completely different... although possibly-probably not firmly enough for majority of viewers

... casting, acting, production all good to very good... the winding path of the plot-storyline's where many can and will get bogged down baffled... then there's matter of all those flashbacks, mixed throughout so that you have little idea where you are at any point in the timing of it all... basic to establishing reference can-be is one thing, here overuse nearly does in the entire production... and the ending should have been used for closure considering what had come before, instead it just cements doubt, and is surely fully unsatisfying for many... this film taking-getting-caught-cheating to an-entirely-different-level of-utter-improbability.
