Temple

Got quite caught up in series 1. A somewhat fanciful but enjoyable plot line with a solid cast. Season 2 started badly and quickly faded away. A serious of increasingly nonsensical twists in the story leading the episodes to become increasingly painful to watch. You will get to a point where you simply can go no further. Mine was at about 35 mins into episode 2.

Weird. The first series was a little far fetched but worked well. Strong is an excellent actor and the rest of the cast was equally good. But the second series...what a disappointment! One of those shows that makes you angry with how stupidly people behave. So 8 stars for series one, 2 stars for series two.

Without two of Britain's finest actor's Daniel Mays and Mark Strong at the helm then I thinkTemple would sink without a trace. However such is the chemistry between these two it makes a ridiculous plot into a very entertaining show.

It really should be reclassified as a comedy drama, as this unlikely double act lurch from one crisis after another, season two especially has some really funny moments as they try desperately to avoid mobsters, the police and others threatening to expose them in return for money.

Don't take this to seriously and enjoy the ride. 7/10.

Watched & enjoyed. Good cast. Good locations. Good story. Yes, it's maybe a bit far fetched - but, that's drama. At times it is somewhat 'comedic'. Looking forward to S2

A slow burn but fabulous. Quirky, clever & crisp. And funny.... Reality takes a back seat but it's TV! Mark Strong & the rest of the cast are amazing. Can not wait for Series 2. Hopefully that will happen?
