The Singapore Grip

Very poorly set and awfully directed and the scenes are pathetic casting not the best. Read the book very much better entertainment

Unlike some others, I'm enjoying this show, but then I'm always a sucker for a British costume drama. The actors are good and the historical context is interesting. Don't write if off without giving it a fair go.

The book was satire. This interpretation gets it at times, but misses by a mile at others. This inconsistency exacerbates the overall enjoyment by frustrating the viewer. Could have been a great series, but isn't.

I'll admit that I only managed two episodes it was so dreary. It should have been brilliant... Some seasoned and some up and coming actors but I can't decide if it was the acting or the storyline that was at fault. Shame.

I don't know what genre this series is supposed to be. It could be satire but not really black enough for that. Historical genre it has some of that yet if it is even a little true then no wonder the British fell in Singapore. This does not have much going for it at all.
