Was good acting, clearly multi part series, It has not got the energy of the first two but more arty to the point that some of the cinematography got on my nerves, somehow the director though they be clever with slightly out of focus for starting point of characters characters and then coming into focus as they grow and vice verse, sort of film student idea that should have been corrected before the film was issued as it sort of makes the cinema look like the projector is not quite working, probably is really apparent say when they are in the village and Spike is blurred and the wider shots are crystal clear. Jodie Comer looks like she will have a small role but really grows and is very good as always, I was not sure on Ralph Fiennes character from the trailer but he did an amazing job and his role was totally unexpected. The question we all really need/want answered is how many people has Samson killed with his dangly bits!!!

The acting in this series is amazing, the main characters are fully fleshed out through the series, at first I hated them and almost gave up on the whole thing a few times, but they kept drawing me in and we are finally given a brutal, exhausting,yet somehow satisfying conclusion. I felt that the series challenged me and what I was prepared to accept and also made me judge my judgements. I dropped a few points because the periphery players may have got a bit more time. Aisling Bea was really out of her comedic comfort zone here and put in a convincing run, Aimee Lou Wood was great but I felt that relationship had more to add to my experience and finally Sunil Patel's character needs its own much more cheerful spinoff as he did a stellar job and was totally convincing.

I am afraid this is just another climate change documentary which is made for the camera man and reporter to fly around the world and get arty shots.

The title of this documentary is Rising Tides: Ireland's Future in a Warmer World, well there are some rising tides and about minute and half on Ireland and the rest is isolated points around the world and what they are discovering there. This type of information is available much more succinctly in Greta Insta feed.

Maybe in future episodes they will adhere closer to the title but so far get bored by perma frost and melting ice at the north of the plant...yawn.
