Crossroads Reviews

It's not really surprising that Crossroads hasn't done as well as it should have done. When they first brought it back it had great potential - the viewers were getting to know all the new characters, and it had some good story lines. I think they overdid the murder thing a bit (is 2 murders in 1 hotel in the space of just a few months ...  Read the complete review

Hey watch before you knock it. I like Crossroads. I never watched Crossroads the first time around but even before it was on the screen it was being written that it wont last. How many have said this without even watching the "new" Crossroads. Crossroads is a Hotel. It is a re vamped Soap Opera. First time ...  Read the complete review

The show opens with a pan across the Motel reception and that damned awful signature tune (the original, rather than the Paul McCartney reworked "sad version". A receptionist who has never been seen before and who never utters a word (at least an audible one) "chats" to a similarly mute couple who nevertheless also have moving ...  Read the complete review

Just like several other people who have wrote on this catergory, I have a confession to make: God forbid, I think "Crossroads" is a goos soap! We all remember when the show aired during the 60's, 70's and 80's, but when it returned to ITV in March 2001, it came back well and truly improved. For a start, most of the ...  Read the complete review

I shouldn’t really admit this, but I actually ENJOY watching the new series of Crossroads. This is really quite a sad confession, as I would consider myself to be an otherwise normal person. So, at the risk of losing my street credibility, I’ll try to explain why I think Crossroads is worth watching. I suppose the main ...  Read the complete review

I really do want to love it, honestly I do. I remember watching it in the 80's with Jill,Miss Diane, Benny and of course the mighty Meg Mortimer at the helm, and I was hooked. I don't really know what the appeal was, the high camp of the acting, the implausible storylines that almost had you in hysterics or perhaps just the lovely Jill ...  Read the complete review

Crossroads has long since held a special place in the hearts of television viewers. The original series famed for its ham acting, wobbly sets and outlandish storylines may have been off air for 12 years yet still it remained deep in the psyche of the British viewer. It was so bad, it was good. Even those who never saw the original ...  Read the complete review

Okay I admit it I watched crossroads the first time round and not only that but remember most of the characters. I was looking forward to seeing what they would do with it second time round. It is now a hotel instead of a motel. It is more about the owners and the staff than anything else. It was nice to see Jill Harvey ...  Read the complete review

In order for ITV to reach the levels of audience to what they had promised advertisers but did not deliver in 99, they have launched new programs to attract a larger audience one of these programs was the relaunch of Crossroads what a mistake!!! This program really has nothing to do with the old Crossroads they have just branded the name ...  Read the complete review

Now I will explain that title, Crossroads has only just re-started and it already rates, with me, as one of the best things on television. The set has changed and to explain this they now call it a Hotel instead of a Motel, saying that the Hotel has been built on the grounds of the old motel. In the first episode they bought back ...  Read the complete review

Crossroads used to be a standing joke, the sets were amazingly poor, very rickety and I'm sure people used to watch it just to see if a disaster would befall the actors as they tried to open a door. How times have changed, the old set has been replace by a much more upmarket and beleivable hotel, complete with internet cafe- wonder if ...  Read the complete review

Eastenders excels, Coronation Street is addictive viewing for millions, even Brookside handles important issues well. There was no gap in the televisual market for a good, quality soap – that is why Crossroads was re-born! People think that Crossroads was axed because it was a poor soap. That is not the reason. Of course not; here ...  Read the complete review

That clucking noise you hear is the sound of a whole hen house full of chickens coming home to roost. In one short week, most of the hotel's storylines came to fruition. After month's of secret meetings star crossed lovers, porter Phil and the boss' daughter Nicola, were discovered frolicking in the salon Jacuzzi ( by ...  Read the complete review

The all new Crossroads has been a really big disappointment. First of all as you see from the title Benny has not been included in the cast this time. He obviously never did find the spanner he was sent to look for back in the eighties! Most of the cast are brand new, in fact there are only two members of the original ...  Read the complete review

Jill Harvey/Chance has gone missing. Does anyone care well yes I have to admit I do. I watched the much promoted wedding episode and it bought back memories of the old Crossroads flooding back. Now she has been found dead in the lake. Accident,Suicide or Murder we will have to watch and wait.(Well only watch if your the slightest ...  Read the complete review

Kitsch classic Crossroads returned to our screens earlier this year, after a troubled start it has stunned viewers and critics by becoming highly enjoyable and quite compulsive! Crossroads (ITV, 5.05 pm, weekdays) is set around the midlands hotel Crossroads, we watch as the hotel staff and visitors weave their lives around the infamous ...  Read the complete review

I was fortunate enough not to be around when Crossroads was first screened, but I have, since this afternoon, had the unpleasant and angering experience of watching it for the first time. Frankly the programme has such bad acting I wouldn't have thought it possible. The storylines are easily see through and so predictable. The ...  Read the complete review

I still think Adam the Rat is cute, I did 20 years ago, when I was in the throes of my first schoolgirl crushes, Gareth Hunt, Lee Majors and Adam Chance, bad taste eh? Yeah well maybe thats why I put Crossroads on while preparing the childrens tea, it's watchable, not 'must tune in or fret all night' watchable, more background noise ...  Read the complete review

I'm afraid that the new series of Crossroads in my opinion is just as bad as the last one! I say get rid of it and bring back good old Home and Away for that slot! They say that they went to great lengths to get the Hotel looking real this time with no wobbly walls, and that they even got alot of the stuff from real hotel suppliers! ...  Read the complete review
