Boat Story

Really enjoyed this! Such a refreshing change from the usual crap churned out on TV.

It is very Tarantino/Guy ritchie so if you're not a fan of their stuff it might not be for you.

I had seen some people being put off by violence - For me, the short scenes of violence weren't off putting or dragged out - probably because there's an interesting story to go with it and it keeps you curious...I hate pointless violence but it's cleverly done in this show.

Great acting from all the cast and the narration is incredible. The story is fairly ridiculous and far fetched but that's what makes it so good! I was laughing throughout but thoroughly enjoying every second!

Lots of funny moments! Good casting and likeable characters. Would highly recommend!

What a pleasant surprise that the BBC can actually produce something contemporary and with some geniune edge. Very refreshing and a change from the super serious dramas, wildlife documentarys and lifestyle shows. This is not for the faint of heart and gets very dark at times - one particular seen I couldn't believe I was watching on the BBC. The darkness is offset with some genuinely laugh-out-loud funny moments. This is the true definition of a dark comedy. Brilliantly acted by an amazingly talented and recognisable ensemble cast and presented in a really interesting and engaging way. Satisfying stuff. Everybody involved should be chuffed.

Then it would more than likely be along the lines of Boat Story. Its all here drugs, money, greed and some of the most violent shot outs I've ever seen on the BBC. I binged the whole lot in two day's, Daisy Hoggard and Patterson Joseph make an unlikely double act as they take on a very angry French drug lord who's drugs they have stolen, played superbly by the Missing's Tcheky Karyo.

The storylines are of course utterly ridiculous and totally unbelievable but when you get a mixture of violence and very dark comedy it really does not matter.

Overall a really enjoyable six hours of television. 8/10.

Great show, really enjoyed watching this on iPlayer, binged it in a day! The cast is very strong, Daisy Haggard in particular, and she has fabulous chemistry with Paterson. A great mixture of a gritty crime story with comedy littered throughout and I particularly loved the addition of the narrator throughout. Also loved the use of the vintage placards. Although I am not a huge horror or crime fan, it was such a successful culmination of a variety of styles that helped to balance it out and make it exciting, fun, and nuanced. The Two Brothers (Jack and Harry) really did a fabulous job with this show.

Thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining, dark comedy.

Clever storyline with some good twists, likeable characters and great acting. Some really funny moments plus some gruesome bits. Never guessed what was around the corner, so kept my interest across each episode. Brilliantly comic narration at the beginning and end of each episode.

Binge watched it in one weekend as I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I hadn't seen any trailers for this programme so really didn't know what to expect but it was definitely worth the watch.

Very well done to all concerned and more of this please, much more!
