6 episodes, 45min each,
A modern-day version of a classic film,
Not quite as good as the film and doesn’t pack as much punch,
A new generation of far-right activists and their far-left, anti-fascist focussing on a far-right anti-Islamic group as Patriot Blue, while the anti facist trying to stop them,
I was hoping for so much more but at same time it was a tadge better than I thought it would be,
Reasonable amount of action and violence, but not enough to go overboard.
Biggest downfall was for such a short series there was too many characters and various storylines,
But all in all a decent watch. |
I watched this thinking it was a stand-alone series, unrelated to the film, so I was a bit confused when Jacqueline McKenzie appeared and there were passing mentions of Hando.
Without spoiling anything, it is worth watching the film first and then this series so you follow the timeline easier. I thought the TV show was good but, like Gag, thought it pales in comparison to Geoffrey Wright's film.
This isn't to say it's not worth watching because I'm glad I've seen it, so if you have the STV app on your cable box or Roku/Fire stick and don't mind adverts, you can watch it for free.
