    It's just suspenseful and clever enough to keep you happily intrigued. [3 Sep 2012, p.39]

    Alas, there are enough reminders of real life--including an early suicide--to dampen the fun of this guilty pleasure.

    This Coma is different enough from the 1978 movie to have its own appeal, and the cast keeps things interesting even during plot lulls.

    The fact the mystery is pretty much laid out like a coma patient from the beginning, ruins whatever suspense you might otherwise have built up.

  1. Even though the miniseries has its own appeal it slowly loses quality... the effects are really good and there a some parts with a few good suspense but the rest the performances were not so good and the ending was just awful... Ellen Burstyn however does an amazing job with that crazy hair and smile... Expand
