I certainly think it would have had enough intrigue to it with the informer inside the right wing groups and the BNP involvement to make a proper series.

Bizzzle Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I keep hearing good things about the Mare of Easttown and I do want to watch it at some point but it looks like one of those really slow and kinda boring dramas where everyone is permanently sad all the time and everything is grey and depressing but maybe that’s just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it isn’t ‘fast paced’ it isn’t boring and does have some nicely wry lines. give it a go! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Zen Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 The best thing about Mare is the acting, though. The story is good. The acting is brilliant. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4, 2021 Pooch Perfect. Look. I'm a sucker for the Bakeoff formula. I'll watch anything based of it. I've watched, and enjoyed, the pottery one, despite knowing nothing about pottery. I've watched the makeup one, despite knowing nothing about makeup. I look out for new episodes of Forged in Fire, the typically American one were they make knives and historic weapons. I watched the glass blowing despite having no interest in glass making. So of course I'm watch one we're is dog grooming. It's good, despite itself in many ways. It's the most budget looking TV show I've seen since Supermarket Sweep. There's something about the way it's shot and the production design which feels very very cheap and very... 90s daytime TV. But it doesn't matter, because it's basically a parade of dogs for an hour. Which is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't really do a 'Unabomber' style drama with the '99 nail bombings. The thing with the Unabomber is the story is compelling from various angles which the nail bombings weren't. The Unabomber has the longevity, going on a decades long campaign without a clear manifesto for much of it, his origin is bizarre, the campaign to catch him was an early example of a win for behavioural sciences to prove it had the capacity to catch offenders. The nailbombing campaign lasted a fortnight, it was very quickly clear there was an agenda at play that was pretty common (for want of a better way of putting it), his origin is just standard radicalisation. The use of moles in far right groups and the deception to undermine his insanity plea are the most interesting things about story, and even those are told in full in a few minutes. As is a documentary is probably enough to tell the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contestants are incredibly skilled, and I find in an area that I know next to nothing about, I enjoy the show more. Also up to date with the current series of Sewing Bee. Serena is the run away winner for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
