Georgia Wells believes that her husband, Will, died in a plane crash in the Congo three years ago. Since the accident, she has lived as a recluse in the Welsh countryside, away from civilization and the comforts of 21st century life. But her life changes when she sees Will in the background during a televised news report about the Congo. That revelation shocks Georgia, and she becomes determined to prove that Will is still alive. She travels to Kinshasa, Congo's capital, for the first time since the crash and reunites with Will's business partner Judith and a local journalist whose wife also perished in the crash. Unaware of the danger she faces, Georgia sets out across Congo in an attempt to find Will. Kate Beckinsale stars as Georgia in her first starring role on a TV series.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Writers Harry and Jack Williams really know how to craft transnational dramas built on crime and grief, but once things hit the Congo there's an odd languor about proceedings. Jul 8, 2019Full Review Giles Smith The Times (UK) [The writers] are, at the very least, on familiar ground here. And they know how to bang a vertiginous cliffhanger on to the end of each episode to keep you going. Apr 15, 2019Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) The premise is decent...However, the Williams brothers, who wrote it, risk viewer apathy by overcomplication and thin characterisation.Rated: 3/5 Apr 9, 2019Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site ...The Widow had the chance to take a strong stand on these questions, which are well-publicized, but did not. Aug 5, 2020Full Review Camilla Long Sunday Times (UK) I found no evidence in Beckinsale's performance that she wasn't anything but maddeningly distant and fey. Apr 16, 2019Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) If I was being particularly cruel - oh, do let's go on - I'd say this is Congo as Boden catalogue accessory.

paul m An expensive production and cast fail to rescue a convoluted, implausible, pretentious jumble of cliched story lines. Instead of telling a simple, coherent story they have thrown every cliched twist and turn imaginable in a vain attempt to create interest and suspense that ends up just being ridiculous. Beckinsale's character doesn't work but how could it with such an illogical mish mash of a story?Rated 1 out of 5 stars02/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Thought I'd binge watch the series as synopsis read interesting, BIG mistake..mainly due to Kate Beckinsales lack of believability and well, acting skills! Story had good bones but lacked cohesion. 😞Rated 1 out of 5 stars01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I freaking LOVE this show and is a crying shame they get you started on such a good show then just stop producing it. We seriously need a season 2 and asap!Rated 5 out of 5 stars01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This a rather plodding story spread over eight episodes and I I am honest my mind did wander from time to time. However Kate Beckinsale gave a pretty reliable performance and I enjoyed the Congonese scenery. This series reminded me of Austrian Emperor Joseph II's famous criticism of Mozart's music, i.e. too many notes.Rated 3 out of 5 stars01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought the first season was excellent. I watched almost every minute of it. Sorry but I watch on my computer and I have that right arrow key that fasts forwards Netflix, so there was some of that. What I was really surprised about was Kate Beckinsale. I'd never paid much attention to Ms Beckinsale. I'd seen her modeling pictures, and a couple of her other movies but I never really looked at her acting closely. But I did in this movie and her acting is really very good. She delivered an amazing job of acting on this movie and while I was watching I paid close attention to her small moves and facial expressions and I was very impressed. I'll be watching more movies she is in. A great actress.Rated 5 out of 5 stars01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent series. Well shot and characters are multi-faceted. No happy ending here but hope for most characters is present. Kate Beckensale carries the film with wonderful supporting actors. Beckensale overcomes unbelievable obstacles.Rated 5 out of 5 stars01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
