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!

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.

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!

This series was very good but I think it dragged on a little too long. It would have been better if it was about 4 episodes. For me, the strongest characters were Samuel, Janet, Guy and The Tailor. It was also great to see Craig Fairbrass again as he is absolutely brilliant as an actor and I always wondered why he wasn't on mainstream tv more often. A great series with lots of twists and turns....i can see why it scored highly and would have given it a 10 but for the duration...by the end of episode 5, I guessed the ending by. However, worth watching and making up your own mind. A dark and compelling story that has some comedic moments!!

Where do I start? At the end. This has the best endings ever. It's not a misspelling, I do mean endings. It's not like there are choices to change the ending. It's more, well you'll see .. more endings. And the ending, while not the ending the tailor hoped for, was as spectacular an ending as anyone could hope for. The acting is absolutely top class and the story line has a lot of twists and turns. I particularly like the way actors who we know for their roles in other series suddenly confound us by doing the unexpected. Craig Fairbrass shows us he can play a character other than henchman. Joanna Scanlan goes from annoying dog trainer in wellies to iconic sex symbol and shows us her softer side. Then just as you get comfortable with the idea she might be a bombshell in bed drops coarse humour then later compassion. It's Villian meets French romance meets Godfather gangsters (tubas instead of violins) strung together in a series of sketches that have a Monty Python air of "and now for something completely different" with scenes broken by Keystone Cops title plates and a stage show reminiscent of Mulholland Drive. Yes, I've tried not to give away the plot, because you should absolutely watch it and once you've started you'll find it very hard to stop. Utterly brilliant in every way!
