this reminds me a lot of british novel Lorna Doone. the west yorkshire police are the doones, the cop with glasses is lorna and the yorkshire landscape is a character in itself just like in wuthering heights.
I'm probably being a bit slow on the uptake here but I didn't fully understand the relationship between John Dawson (Sean Bean) and Paula Garland (Rebecca Hall). Why was she sleeping with him? when she said she knew him her "whole life", I imagine this meant he'd molested her as a child? Did he (Bean) have her killed for fear she'd talk? What, if any, was the significance of the swans' wings? I've only watched the 1st one, perhaps this is all explained in the two later episodes.

this show looks very interesting and i want to watch it in-fact im trying to watch it only problem is im not british and some of the people in this show have very strong accents which are very hard for me to understand i was watching it on netflix and was trying to see if i could turn captions on but there was no option for that which sucks
@MrFuckFilipino Wow you must be so proud of your self righteous racism. I've run into your sort before, and not here on You Tube, but face to face, and I'll say to you here exactly what I would say to your face. Put up or shut up. I imagine though that when push comes to shove you are yet another Youtube Only mouth.
By the way The Red Riding Trilogy is some of the most powerful television shown in a very long time.
Ive been around the world unlike most of you on here running your (Youtube Only) mouth. Black people are the most hated race because we are so blessed. They take all of our bad Gangs,Teen Pregnancy,Fake hair,Ebonics,Big rims,Custom cars,food, and jewelry and try to make us feel bad.When in actuality its White people (70%) who are the Devils with all their hatred.Oklahoma city bombing WP,Slavery/Segragation killings WP, President assasinations all WP, Columbine shootings WP,MLK assasination WP
Watched all three episodes within 24hours and was blown away. Thought this is the best series ever on TV and was totally hooked with it. The entire cast and the story are brilliant, but David Morrissey was something else..
@syaifarocks It's available on Amazon. I live in Germany but thankfully can get Channel 4. This series was by far the best thing on telly for years. Absolutely superb!!!!!!! Thank God for Channel 4 Film!!!!!!!
@syaifarocks Unfortunately if you live outside the UK you can't access the Channel 4 archive unless you use a proxy server. It's available on Amazon- Buy it, it's absolutely superb!!!!!
Many things. Most obviously, a play on Red Riding Hood. Also could be a reference to the West Riding of Yorkshire being 'Red' with blood after so many murders.
The best thing the C4 have come up with, you really must watch this. great actors, great writing and epic filming style. You really cannot beat this. But what do i know?
Posting from germany. Does anybody know if this is available on DVD yet? I can't access Channel $ archive cos it doesn#t like my German IP adrress. Anybody help?
Well, the various parts of Yorkshire are known as the 'ridings' - East Riding, West Riding and so on. Sticking the 'Red' in there gives you a kind of pun that alludes to the decidely dark fairy tale.
just started reading the books,1974 is terrific much more gory than the tv but the tv adapt was sensational,love the attention to 70's detail they did.Just brilliant/
Mark Addy is one of the best loser actors of the world. He was fine in this role then he is going to play in a ...... stupid Horror movie????? he is mad??
I can't believe him from the stars to the seawers.
Shame something as intelligent as Red Riding will never be appreciated by most, as it's too advanced for them. Especially since it's been the televesion highlight of the decade.
Oh no, They'd rather live on diets of big brother and awful reality tv shows, and mediore hacks.
Brilliant. Excellent cast and plot. All involved are genius'. And yes Paddy Considine is execellent. My Northen Mum thought he was northern.
the bit where he goes in caravan with shotgun was filmed in my town maltby on the pigion field alotments i watched lol ma m8 owned the field gannon's go you lol
Good film like this is hard to come by now.

Incredible TV. So many great performances in the 1st episode which was also brilliantly scripted.
Can't wait for the second episode, it's got Paddy Considine in it and he's my favourite British actor.
BBC should take note of this. They haven't made anything this good for a very long time...
frenchiegoesout 3 years ago 9
Agreed. Paddy Considine could play any part, and he could play it amazingly well.
I was amazed at how many accents he can do with such stunning accuracy. He's brilliant and needs more exposure.
I wouldn't be suprised if he one day lands a big role and goes straight to the top of the film industry.
