Boat Story

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.

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!!

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!

I don't understand some of the negative reviews - yes, you'll either love it or hate it - but watch it for what it is - I love it so far; very different and thoroughly enjoyable.

For me, the Tarantino-esque over-the-top violence and Lock Stock-like ineptitude and daftness of some situations/characters is what I enjoy about it so far. Yes there is violence, yes the plot is unrealistic, yes the dialog is sometimes corny, yes the characters could have been written better, but it's simply good fiction and a good plot so far, so watch it for what it is...a dark comedic thriller.

Although only 2 episodes in, I really cannot wait for the remaining episodes!
