Guest Peter the Greek Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Its ok....we watched it all on iview (is it still available). I can't say I like her character all that much, but it was entertaining enough. They released the whole season for binge watchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffinator Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I’ve seen some. Wife saw it all on iview. She thought it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren69 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 I liked the first show, I cant work out if the musical score is clever (evil song words) or irritating (seems loud and sometimes overpowering for the scene). Good to see 'Martyn' again, haha (The Bridge) amongst other characters from Broadchurch and Fortitude. We will definitely watch the series, main actress if very good!

Ian McP Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Be warned, very black, high body count, couldn't quite come to terms with all the offhand killings. Don't think the tongue in cheek black humour comes off that well, psychopath indeed!

But I wouldn't have called the music 'loud'?? (Maybe you're just getting old and crabby?? ) Main actress - you mean Sandra Oh ... or the contract killer? I agree with Fred - I think others could've played Sandra Oh's character better. But the contract killer is sensational! Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly she’s Canadian. So how that helps Americans relate I’m not so sure. She’s also won Golden Globes, Emmy’s and Screen Actor Guild awards. Sorry you find her “nothing to look at”. The women in your life would be so proud. I found her very good in the role and her acting supported the quirkiness of Jodie Comer’s character very well.

Shes not exactly unkown in the US. 10 seasons on Greys anatomy would probably help them relate. not to mention the GG's emmys etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter the Greek Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I just don't have an appreciation for what she does......Although, trying to be objective about this, I suppose she played the character well - pretty ditzy, coming a bit more "hardcore" ....I just don't like the character I suppose. The show was entertaining enough though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren69 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 I loved the main actress' Jodie Comer's performance, very good/psychotic with some hilarious moments ('you smell like cabbage!!'...boogly eyes). The relationship with Kim Bodnia's character was also very intriguing, Bodnia at his usual excellence. But agree, Oh's character was at odds with the rest, IMO and the 'I think I just tried to fart and accidently followed through' facial expression actually grates with me, haha. Still very watchable and I assume a second series to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakblue Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I just watched the season through of this on blu ray. Enjoyed it. I think sound wise the dialogue on the DTS-MA track is not recorded/mixed very well and comes across very thin. For this day and age it should’ve been better, especially with the video quality which was crisp and colourful. The choice of music is nice at times I thought. A good show, but not for anyone sensitive to violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't praise it enough, when it comes to crazy femme fatales, have never seen a better job done than the one by Jodie Comer's character. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
