FANDOM NAME: The Five (TV)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's a British mystery thriller miniseries -- 10 episodes total -- that's fast-paced and soapy and twisty; if you're into mystery thrillers at all, you should definitely check The Five out. From Wiki: The Five sees "childhood friends Mark, Danny, Slade, and Pru reunited when DNA evidence left at a murder scene is revealed to be that of Jesse, Mark's younger brother, twenty years after he disappeared while playing in the park with the four friends." Is Jesse not dead, then, as everyone but Mark and Jesse's mother presumed? (Is the serial killer who confessed to the murder full of shit?) Is Jesse a murderer himself? How did his DNA show up at this crime scene? Where has he been for the last 20 years? SO MANY QUESTIONS. SO MANY QUESTIONS WITH FUN ANSWERS (unless you're not into fun answers, ha?)! [spoiler] SPOILERS, in case the cut didn't work: I love that the show ends on a happy-ish note. I don't know what I was thinking, starting a show like this during a pandemic, because the thought of Jesse's being dead or evil -- both of which seemed likely -- was seriously bumming me out. (His poor mum! Mark!) But. BUT. AHHH. /SPOILERS.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Netflix, in most countries (incl. the US)!
