Product Description
A taut and gripping four-part conspiracy thriller, HIDDEN is written by Ronan Bennett (PUBLIC ENEMIES, THE HAMBURG CELL) in collaboration with veteran Hollywood screenwriter Walter Bernstein (THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, FAIL SAFE).
Directed by Niall MacCormick (ALBATROSS, WALLANDER, THE LONG WALK TO FINCHLEY), the thriller is set across London and Paris at a time when Britain is in a state of political turmoil: there is rioting on the streets and the coalition government has collapsed.
The drama centres on Harry Venn (Phil Glenister - ASHES TO ASHES, LIFE ON MARS), a high street solicitor who is forced to delve back into his murky past. When a mysterious lawyer, Gina Hawkes (Thekla Reuten THE AMERICAN, IN BRUGES) turns up asking Harry to find a missing alibi witness for her client, he agrees to take on the job but becomes unwittingly drawn into investigating the death of his brother twenty years ago. Harry quickly finds himself caught up in a much bigger and more complex conspiracy...
The cast includes: Harry Venn played by Philip Glenister, Gina Hawkes played by Thekla Reuten, Sir Nigel Fountain played by David Suchet, Elspeth Verney played by Anna Chancellor, Paul Hillman played by Mark Flitton, Fenton Russell played by Thomas Craig, Frank Hanna played by Richard Dormer, Steve Quirke played by Paul Ritter, Alexander Wentworth played by Bertie Carvel.

The first three episodes build on a tense and exciting plot. Many threads and plot lines are set up and we were very excited to see the fourth and final episode. How utterly disappointing that the fourth and final episode ended without ever drawing any conclusions, without ever explaining what had happened. It felt as if the series was originally meant to be twice as long but funding was cut and the writers and director had to cut off in the middle of the story.

Whilst I think that Glenister is an excellent actor, I feel that the storyline of Hidden left a lot to be desired. Yes, it was a complicated plot, which is fine to use the brain sometimes but it basically went nowhere, which was, to me, a shame, considering all the excellent support actors.

I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did - it was taut, tense viewing, and rare that smart political thrillers come along from BBC (not since State of Play?). Great cast - the actress Thekla Reuten should be in more! - and Glenister shrugs off Gene Hunt to play Harry Venn impeccably. Highly recommended. Bring back Venn for series 2!

Hope they don't throw bad money after bad.
Are the writers trying to be too clever here? Are they trying to replicate "State of Play"? It didn't come close. Read more

Without Phil I wouldn't have bothered
This is alright-ish. It seem to meander a bit and the conlusions are sloshed about rather than served up on a cold plate, so you have a sense of wondering if it answered all the... Read more

We prefer American series to British ones in general but every now and then it's good to watch a thriller from the UK. However, this ia a real stinker. Read more
