Blackout

Daniel Demoys is an ambitious, but flawed councillor, an alcoholic and corrupt. One night Danny meets with builder Henry Pulis, who ends up dead, Danny covers is tracks, but is thrown into the public eye after an act of bravery.

It's a curious drama series, I didn't remember it, but did watch it, looking back I get why I'd forgotten it, as there's nothing particularly memorable about it, however it's worth a chance.

The story is a fine one, it's very nicely written, with some cracking ideas, unfortunately the production values are somewhat irritating, it's over produced, and chaotic to watch at times. Expect tonnes of cutaways and jaunty angles, I'm glad that isn't the norm these days.

There are a couple of plot holes, and a few strands that we just don't get answers to, the main one of course being, did he actually do it?

Very well acted, Eccleston and Bremner steak the show, I'd argue they were guilty of under utilising the likes of Wunmi Mosaku, David Hayman and even Andrew Scott.

It's worth a few hours of your time.

7/10.
