Well, I certainly enjoyed the trip down memory lane back to the 80s. I served in the Met Police back in the 80s and it reminded me of some of the ne'er-do-wells I had to deal with back then.
It was interesting to see Sophie Turner going blue collar and embracing her inner Cockney. I thought she handled the role quite well and showed some versatility in a change from the stuff I've seen her in before.
The supporting cast were quite good, too. It was well-paced, good locations and nicely shot. The script was a bit weak at times, but not to the extent it made it less enjoyable.
The excellent 80s soundtrack was a joy, too. I hope they release the original song from the end credits, as they'd have a hit on their hands!
Well worth your time and, as they have set a second series, I hope they make it!

My wife and I have just finished watching the full series and I have to say that we were gripped from the very start.
Whoever cast Sophie as Joan certainly knew their job and knew it well. As a matter of fact, the whole cast were brilliant and I don't think they could have picked anyone better.
After watching Sophie in the Game of thrones, I was surprised she did so well for her first major casting. But after this performance, I can honestly say that I would go as far as saying that she truly has to be one of the best actresses in the UK at the moment.
Also, I have to give credit to the actor that played Boisie (His name slips me sorry). Again, he gave a superb performance and his and Sophie's on screen chemistry was nothing short of awesome.
All in all, I loved it and it makes me want a season two. Fingers crossed.

Sophie Turner delivers a remarkable performance, transporting viewers back to the vibrant 80s with its iconic hair, music, and cars. The show begins with a captivating story that pulls you in, creating a sense of deep involvement. However, as the narrative unfolds, it becomes increasingly implausible that an ordinary woman, with no criminal background, quickly evolves into a mastermind thief, manipulating seasoned criminals within days. One particularly frustrating element is Joan's tendency to gaslight others, despite her own flawed ideas. Overall, the series serves as a commentary on the shortcomings of weak men.
A sad story of a Kent girl with a rough life, who gets into diamond theft and other assorted shenanigans. It's not bad as stories like this go and passes the time, BUT whoever selected the contemporary background music for this needs to be replaced as woefully inept. It starts supposedly in 1985 and has Brass in Pocket playing from 1979. It switches to four months earlier but has two songs from four years earlier, in 1981 (Bucks Fizz, Making Your Mind Up on the radio and and Soft Cell, Tainted Love in a bar). We also hear Hungry Like the Wolf from 1982, and whilst all of that is at least from the recent past to the time when this is set, it is very strange that we don't hear anything from 1984/85. Finally, this is all blown up when we then seem to time travel to 1989 as Wicked Game by Chris Isaak plays on the jukebox. I have never in all my years seen and heard such a cocked-up selection of supposedly contemporary background music in a professional TV or movie production. It is so bad, it detracts from the show in itself.
I am writing this after series 1. The story is left open.
This had been hyped in advance for many weeks so I just had to bingewatch it.
Perhaps the hype was greater than thd show but, for those of us of a certs in age, there was plenty of nostalgia to see. The clothes, the music, the styles and the vehicles brought back there era so well.
I am not sure why The Wicked Game by Chris Izaak from 1989 was featured in a early 80s drama but it's not my biggest gripe.
Despite all the dressing up the show, the story is very modern being full of feminism, me too and all men are either weak or evil while it's OK for a woman to do illegal things as long as it is in a honourable cause.
Sophie Turner throws herself into the story well and there are some great songs but did we really need Bucks Fizz twice?
They could have included ELO and Ticket To The Moon which starts with the lines "Remember the good old 1980s when things were so uncomplicated? ... I wish I could go back there and everything could be the same"

- WissenswertesJoan Hannington was a real life villain and member of the British criminal elite for over a decade. She was indeed renowned as a diamond thief and did serve time in prison - but that was actually for cheque book fraud, not theft.
