Temple

This show is great fun. Completely implausible however such is the great acting from Mark Strong and the great cast that it is a joy to watch. Just don't think about it too much and enjoy the ride and the laughs!

Without two of Britain's finest actor's Daniel Mays and Mark Strong at the helm then I thinkTemple would sink without a trace. However such is the chemistry between these two it makes a ridiculous plot into a very entertaining show.

It really should be reclassified as a comedy drama, as this unlikely double act lurch from one crisis after another, season two especially has some really funny moments as they try desperately to avoid mobsters, the police and others threatening to expose them in return for money.

Don't take this to seriously and enjoy the ride. 7/10.

After watching the first episode I thought the premise of the series was daft but I perservered and really enjoyed it in the end. It has a bit of everything: medical ethics, criminals and love stories. There are some great characters in the series - some morally dubious, some downright evil and some very stupid. I suppose the series explores the impact of the choices we make and the consequences that ensue. Mark Strong is wonderful as the surgeon whose choices take him further down a criminal path. The parallel to Breaking Bad is obvious. I cannot wait for Season 2.

It was pretty refreshing to watch a TV series where no protagonist was easy to root for. All of them have ambiguous motives and do things beyond one's limits, usually for their ultimate goal (and no, I don't just mean the good Dr.) Character buildup was excellent and the plot picks up pace around the 3rd or 4rth episode where one starts to understand that in one swift moment your favorite character can become the complete opposite. Nice comedic touches here and there, effortlessly blended with some hard-to-watch moments. A solid 7.

Watched & enjoyed. Good cast. Good locations. Good story. Yes, it's maybe a bit far fetched - but, that's drama. At times it is somewhat 'comedic'. Looking forward to S2
