Heat

I watched this show hoping that I would see a different side to Danny Dyer as an actor. Sadly I was disappointed, it was just watching Mick Carter from Eastenders in Australia!!!

Honestly, I am unsure why he always plays the same character and doesn't develop his acting to suit the script. His cockney accent is so over the top that it sounds so exaggerated that it makes me cringe now to hear open his mouth. I am sure Danny can get better scripts, if not, come back to Eastenders!!

The storyline is quite predictable and apart from the house which is amazing, sadly, I would give this show a miss.

It seems like every second drama shot in Australia now features a lead British or American actor. In the case of Heat it's two Brits, though one (Darren McMullen) has a local career while the other (Danny Dyer) is imported. It makes sense to have them play two expats who married Aussie women and had kids. The problem is Danny feels like he just arrived from the London EastEnd a week earlier - which evidently the actor did, fresh from EastEnders.

If you can get past this you will find an enjoyable drama. It's a familiar scenario - friends trapped in a situation,with ensuing secrets unfolding - but the nasty secret lurking beneath all the pleasantries turns out to be darker than you'd expect.

Performances are good (well maybe less so the cockney guy) and the final episode is gripping to watch. A solid 7 out of 10.

So after seeing the trailer for this on my 5 I thought looks pretty decent got Danny dyer in it wouldn't say he is great actor but I quite like him. The first episode is a bit slow but it does definitely get better and you do get hooked and want to watch more. The storyline is pretty good with some twist and turns and was not expecting which way the storyline was going but was very gripping. The acting is good especially from Darren McMullen ( Brad fisher) he was the best one out of all the cast. I thought I would give Danny dyer a chance with acting after being in Eastenders it's quite hard leaving a soap to then going into a drama playing a completely different character he was okay to be honest I wouldn't say he is a fantastic actor he gave his best maybe stick to another soap. I did feel like I was watching him playing Mick Carter ( Eastenders character) Heat does have stunning views of Australia which was one of the best features of the drama. If you think of going to watch this drama and get a outstanding performance from Danny dyer unfortunately you will be silently disappointed but the good thing is the storyline is the best bit you will be hooked after watching the first episode. You just need to give it chance to pick up. Heat is a 2023 drama thriller which consists of 4 episodes and filmed in the outback of Australia. Surprisingly it was good watch and quite enjoyed it. Don't go by the low score or negative reviews it really is not that bad in fact it was rather good most people who I know have seen it said the same thing. So if you want to watch a short drama then watch The heat it's rather good it's addictive. Heat with Danny after is steaming on My 5 right now so get watching !!!

I went into this with no expectations which is a good way to approach a channel 5 drama. I have to say it got me hooked and I happily bashed through this in one sitting (admittedly with a bottle of wine and cheese platter).

Its one of those disaster-is-coming shows and in this case a bushfire. Im not sure how accurate it would be in real like for all those people to get trapped but I'm not Australian so I'll go with it. Suffice to say all sorts of subplots begin to crossover, sometimes in a predictable way but there's also a really big creepy shock. The best episode is definitely the end and you know it's going to go badly for someone.

Danny Dyer is to acting what I am to pole dancing and I am a 5foot hairy bloke !

But its clever of C5 to put him with even worse actors, then we have the script. I take it this was written by the Eastenders lot on a day off.

I mean WTF its like making a cocktail with 2 many favours and afterwards being sick I take it Danny also lives in OZ as you don;t have a clue, Ch5 have made some bad stuff over the years but this takes the biscuit even the cake tin.

I do have a lot of respect for Danny built a career on zero talent and become a millionaire out of it.

Thank god it was only 4 episodes so thank you for that.
