The Marlow Murder Club

  • Absolutely delightful to watch

    The Marlow Murder Club succinctly illustrates that high quality series can still be made without swearing, sex and violence.

    This is a homely series. A throwback how series used to be Even though the subject is unsavoury, the show is presented with due decorum.

    The three main characters are absolutely delightful. They care and have standards. They believe in good form and playing with a straight bat This series won't appeal to those who yearn for incipient nastiness and selfishness. Ergo, it won't appeal to those who yearn for the world of today and have no interest in altruism and form.

    In many ways this series is made in a mould of Morse. Those that liked the character of Morse and feel of the series will love this one The Marlow Murder club so satisfying to watch.

  • Absolutely spellbinding

    Put the chestnut man at the top of your watch list.

    It's a series I didn't want to end. It held me from start to finish. The tension in the final episode is almost unbearable. This is edge of the seat stuff of the highest calibre The mystery slowly unfolds whilst never being obvious Characters slowly develop as we start to see them differently in different situations The chestnut man is the sum of its parts. And there are so many parts to it.

    There's an avoidance of clichéd characters and predictability that we now see in so many series The chestnut man also illustrates how you can make a compelling series without swearing and sex scenes

    The chestnut man is a triumph and needs to be seen.

  • Badlands reinvented

    True Romance unashamedly copies and recreates the seminal movie Badlands.

    It's got the same music and narrative.

    It differs in style and pathos. Few films have a much style and pathos and badlands.

    True romance is a classic though.

    Its psuedo art house style has the trademarks of early tarrentimo.

    I wonder why?

    True romance is deliberately overplayed with actors deliberately overplaying.

    This rarely works in films but Tony Scott nails it.

    There isn't really a story in true romance. It's rather a series of related vignettes Once again, another tarrentimo foible True romance is special. It's the sum of all it's parts.

    If true romance grabs you then watch badlands next as badlands will scoop you up and drive you away across the country to an even darker place.
