Hadn't read the webcomic, am enjoying the show so recommend it - with the caveat that it may not be what you were hoping for if you are already a fan (plus ca change, hey?)Anyway, I'm off to drink a mild poison and watch the latest episode :D
Well, that's me sold after only one episode! Really enjoyed this, hope it is the beginning of multiple seasons.
Began watching this thinking the whole season had been released - I've just watched episode 6 and find I've been cut off for whole week!
Aaaaarrrgh!
And now I'm going to have to wait another week between each of the last few episodes!
Gaaaaahhh!
So frustrating because this show is absolutely brilliant. (And I have no patience).
I'm a fan of Sharon Horgan and her dark, slightly twisted, but utterly relatable humour anyway, but occasionally she misses the mark slightly...
This is not one of those times.
I mean, I love 'Catastrophe' (to my mind, her best previous project), but this is even better - and that's a pretty high bar.
We begin by knowing what happens at the end, but - in a manner similar to the play 'Equus' (except with laughs) - the mystery that hooks us in is finding out how it happens.
Well - I'm hooked anyway! Next week sure feels like an awful long time away now, boooo.... I will have to console myself with re-watching 'Catastrophe' again, in the meantime, for a dose of Horgan-methadone.
Having said that, every one of the female leads in this is spectacular, and "The Prick" is absolutely marvellous in making the viewer immediately despise this slimy sadist.
Bravo all round!
Absolutely outstanding! First rate spy mystery/thriller, full of nail-biting tension punctuated by whip-smart dialogue with darkly sarcastic humour - the latter mostly c/o Oldman's understatedly spectacular Jackson Lamb. So good that I'm about to buy the book(s) by Mick Herron that the series is drawn from.
