What Are You Watching..?

For those who haven’t seen it yet I can thoroughly recommend Adolescence. Each episode is filmed in one take which adds to the gritty realism of the drama. The young lad who plays Jamie is phenomenal but the rest of the cast are also superb. I’ll warn you now, Episode 3 is a gut wrencher and feels like you are eavesdropping on an actual session between real people. It takes me back to the gritty black and white dramas the BBC were famous for back in the 60’s.

Just finished "Day of the Jackal" on SKY and "Black Doves" on Netflix, both excellent spy stories in different ways. Jackal is the more traditional, almost Bond-like, ( Appropriate for starring Lashana Lynch ),  Frederick Forsyth 'spook hunting assassin' story, loosely based on the original. "Balck Doves is more Tarantino-esque, taking itself a little less seriously, but in a way more entertaining, and certainly with more plot twists.

 

Both highly recommended.

watched Black Doves which i thought was great, thanks for the reminder on Day of the Jackal as not seen that yet but was on the list

Started Adolescence last night, brilliant, brilliant stuff. Stephen Graham is always excellent so knew it would be good. I've got a son slightly younger than the character in this so found it gripping.
