TV Review - Curfew

Sky 1 9PM Friday

Starring Sean Bean, Miranda Richardson and Billy Zane

Curfew is set in a future UK where a virus has devastated the country leaving victims as either ferile creatures or light fearing hence a curfew (and the title) during the night. The show wears it's many influences up front, the main one being I Am Legend. The first episode was more of a scene setter as we get know to some of the characters. Though there are some bouts of action in particular a well put together car chase. However what was supposed to be a jump scare is ruined by the fact that it was in the promo. Of the performers newcomer Phobe Fox impresses the most in the role of an ambulance driver with personal reasons to compete in the all night race. Sean Bean chews the scenery as a crime boss, Miranda Richardson has only one brief scene where she puts on her seat!. While Billy Zane does not appear in the first episode at all! The rest of Curfew's ensures a must watch with it's mix high speed thrills and chills.
