7/10

Marcella was a series that I was a little apprehensive to watch for some reason but I must admit that it pleasantly surprised me.
It was your run of the mill formula series. It had some very good writing and the characters were very believable, probably cause they weren’t that likable in their roles.
It was a nice break from your Hollywood engine of series that come off a conveyer belt.
So it had good merit.

Although I’d hope they leave the series at two seasons as that could probably kill it.

You've reached the end.
