Drift - Partners in Crime

Car chases, accidents, dodging bullets, secret organisations, bad consciences. It was all here and the problem was that the cast, both goodies and baddies, came out of firefights and destroyed cars virtually unscathed.

It was fast-paced and the action took place in three countries but that only led to a sense of unbelievability.

Various scenes played out that just didn't ring true. If someone offered me a Rolex watch in exchange for an item of huge value to me I would check that it was real first! After all, there must be millions of fakes on the market.

There seemed to be a cliffhanger at the end with an attempt to destroy evidence about a structure's collapse. And an even odder one as the hero's brother walks in on the scene. We'll find out next year, I guess. That is if anyone can be bothered to watch.

I hope there are more than 5 episodes of this drama as I'm hooked. The opening sequence through episode 5. It's superbly shot and acted from everyone. The cast and character development are so much richer than most shows out there. There are some unspoken nuances between the brothers which is unusual and I wish more shows had that. Superbly cast with their own problems which never reaches melodrama, just wholly believable real life relationships and then the plot to work through. Ken Dukan can say a whole load of lines with just his expression. I found the characters wholly believable. Don't let the sub titles put you off if watching on sky Atlantic. Sky says it's 5/10 episodes so where are the remaining 5?
