Catch You Later

Newly retired detective Huw Miller (Jason Watkins) who failed in finding the killer stalker, before he retired at the grand old age of 55, following a nervous breakdown. Anyway, he need not worry, as the stalker Patrick Harbottle (Robson Green) has found him. In fact he's killed his neighbour, living directly opposite, purchased his house, and moved in, all in a space of a week or so. Sounds far fetched? That's probably because it is. The pace of the drama is too quick after episode two, it appears they have sacrificed character development while also compromising on a good storyline, so the whole production can be wrapped up in just four episodes, I speculate for budget reasons, which is a shame. Really strong acting as you would expect from two actors of this calibre, but on the whole an anticlimax.

In many ways this show is a waste of a great cast. The script feels like it was written by a group of people brain storming while eating lunch. The plot has more holes than a cheese grater. It has coincidence upon coincidence. The person responsible for the crimes is so loopy it's hard to believe he wouldn't have been caught by now. He seems to be able to appear and disappear more adeptly than the invisible man.

The only reason I'm persisting with it is the cast and I'm waiting to see what preposterous plot line they'll come up with next. Some of the actions of the main character are hard to forgive. He doesn't exactly endear himself to you.

I am a big fan of both leads however this drama was very disappointing due to the poorly written script. Predictable, pedantic & not worthy of the actors involved.

That being said, if you need something to watch, there are many worse programs than this one! The last half hour watching the two leads almost made it worthwhile!

I don't know why Channel 5 can't come up with more interesting programming.

When I think of all the excellent British programming I'm confused as to where they are getting their writers. They obviously have no problem in attracting excellent actors. Are they running out of money when searching for stories?

The Game is a 2025 British television thriller drama.

Starring 2 amazing actors Jason Watkins and Robson Green.

This 4- part drama is brilliant!!!

From beginning to end it keeps you hooked.

It's not your normal who is the culprit.

Although at first you think who actually is it.

But it's well worth the watch for the entertainment and keeps you on edge the whole way through.

The storyline is gripping it's about mind games without giving to much away it certainly is one to watch!!!

Acting is superb jason Watkins is a phenomenal actor seeing Robson green playing a different character he has proven himself that he is a versatile actor.

Ignore the negativity.

Well worth the watch and to top if off 2 amazing actors.

Get watch !!!

Streaming on MY 5 NOW.

Catch You Later or in the U. S., The Game, isn't brilliant TV. It's a rather derivative cat and mouse thriller that doesn't have much new to say. There are performances though that really elevate this tired material: Robson Green, a longtime favorite actor of mine, is appropriately reptilian and charming when he needs to be. It is bonkers though, that the neighborhood group don't clue in sooner, the one exception being Sunetra Sarker as Huw Miller's wife.

By turns, she is angry, frustrated, tired, ultimately loyal and very strong in defense of Huw, seasoned enough to intuit a predator in their midst. It's a performance that works on several levels of believability and ultimately satisfying.

Which brings me to the incredible performance of Jason Watkins, who I bet I've seen in many a British movie/TV show but just don't remember. He gives a full bodied, fleshed out performance of a man obsessed with the one that got away, his white whale. And all his selfishness, determination, frustrations, anger and near hysteria at times, filtered through such human ticks, to get this killer off the streets burns through you. I thought he was just magnificent.

The show isn't required viewing, but if you're an actor, you can learn a lot by just sitting back and watching Jason Watkins work.
