Watched the first episode last night on BBC1, had read about it in the Telegraph magazine.

Much better than I thought it would be, but think eight episodes might prove a bit drawn out. Will have to see.

I didn’t think that the BBC could top The Serpent but since then we’ve had The Tourist, Life After Life, SAS Rogue Heroes and The English!

And Sherwood!

I watched this last year and loved it although it was disturbing and shocking that it was true story. Can’t believe he’s been released.

I watched it when it was on, nearly a year ago . I found it both mesmerising and disturbing. The performances were really good, especially the French/Algerian actor who played the lead, I've seen him before in The Looming Tower on Amazon and a film regarding Guantanamo Bay, can't remember his name but he's a versatile actor different in both of those.
