Masterful and mesmerising
28 August 2020
Just so's people don't come away with the impression that I find everything is a disappointment in a week of disappointing movies, we watched this near 2-hour, 2-part, ITV drama and were very impressed. We like Jason Watkins hence the interest and my did he excel here, masterfully mesmerising acting no wonder he won awards. Contrast this with his characters in Trollied and W1A and you can see that he is one of Britain's best true actors not one of those Hollywood anciens who get films written around their quirky style that they do over and over ad nauseum. Sometimes I think that they can't act at all, just do the same whatever the role. But what do I know? Forget them, get into this and you will wonder where the time went. PS Why would we be appalled at police misbehaviour where it would seem our boys and girls in blue so disrespect the citizens they have sworn to respect and protect. And don't get me on those parasites who bolt together their trashy headlines for the vox pop to sell their worthless rags. How they sleep at night baffles me...
