Best of the best

This is the closest to perfection a TV-mini series could hope to reach it simply doesn't get any better than this. You know how some dramas start well, build up to an exciting mid-point but ultimately fall short in their conclusion? Well 'Edge of Darkness'is not one of those, it starts strongly, builds up to some unforgettable moments and delivers a god-like finale. All this without leaving annoying plot holes, questions, doubts and not by any means spoon feeding the viewer a linear simplistic plot line.....Pure Genius this is THE Thriller by which all others should be compared.

'24' by modern times is good yes but it limps along compared to 'Edge of Darkness'.

'Das Boot' is perhaps the closest rival in my opinion though I look forward to a day when it is eventually bested by a modern production.

If you haven't seen it, do so! Its still very watchable even though filmed in 1985.
