### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Superb drama
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2009*

The Crow Road is essentially a story about growing up. But while most productions on this theme tend to be mawkish, the Crow Road is a brilliantly suspenseful, moving drama mixing elements of murder mystery, comedy, tragedy, love, sex and faith. The series comprises 4 hour-long episodes that follow Prentice McHoan, a young lad brought up by his father to question things in life. So when friends and family start dying, his older brother steals off with the woman of his dreams, and his beloved Uncle Rory goes missing, Prentice starts casting round for answers. Is there some spiritual meaning to all these people leaving him or is there a more human, and sinister, reason? Aided by his old friend Ashley Watt and imaginary visitations from the missing Rory, Prentice tries to solve the McHoan mysteries.The acting here is superb, particularly from Bill Paterson. The story skips deftly between the present, Prentice's younger days, and even the childhood of his father and uncles, allowing the relationships between the characters to be fully realised and making it all the more heartbreaking when they break down. The extras don't amount to much unfortunately, with the audio commentary from the director and other crew a bit dry. Some contribution here from the charismatic cast (including such faces as Peter Capaldi, and even Supergran!) would have helped. Quite how this TV series compares with the book it's based on I don't know as I haven't read it but here's the author Iain Banks' opinion: "annoyingly better than the book in far too many places". There you go. Do watch this.

    One of the Best Adaptions of one of the Best British Novels
  

*by M***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2004*

I just had to add my "hear, hear" to the first reviewer- Banks has one of the most eceentric, beautiful and cruel of literary outputs (let's ignore the SF stuff with the middle initial), and The Crow Road is perhaps in the Top Five of British Novels of the last 20 years.For the BBC to have somehow made an adaption of such skill and care is remarkable- it genuinely adds to your experience of the story and is compelling, chilling and moving.Special words should be said for Joseph McFadden as Prentice and Bill Paterson as Ken; McFadden is a charismatic narrator, and you never lose sypmpathy with him, even when he seems to be going off the rails.Paterson's peformance is perhaps a lifetime best, and Dougray Scott, Peter Capaldi and Valerie Edmond all atmosphere as part of an excellent ensemble.The Crow Road is everything that the British Novel and British TV Drama can and should be- challenging, entertaining, and serious in it's artistic intentions.Truly a landmark production.

    Even Better Than I Remembered It
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2007*

I was convinced this was much older than it is - 80s, not 90s, but the dates don't lie so it must just be me getting older. Anyway, the real point is The Crow Road made a big impact on me when I first watched broadcast 10 (not 20) years ago and watching it again now I can understand why.It is funny, darkly funny, very well scripted and in the post Monarch of the Glen TV world of today it is nicely subversive of the whole Scottish Highlands as Sunday night fantasy for the English Middle Class phenomenon.In many ways similar to Edge of Darkness (the hero talking to dead or absent relatives) it is probably best watched in episodes, not all at once since the pleasure comes not so much from finding out whodunit, but in the character interactions.99% better than 99% of what is being broadcast as entertainment these days.
