Quelque part garçon

Had this in my watch list but it sounded boring so I waited until last night to watch it because I was short on things as usual. I must say this would have worked better as a film not a serie( because of the indie vibe)! I feel they wasted too much time on flashbacks and nor enough on Danny. Instead of his aunt explaining everything or him going into a program for re- integration ( which he desperately needed ) to avoid becoming like his father! Weather hereditary or brought on by circumstance was never explaned. Idk. The whole thing made me mad that he had no support to re'enter into society and be checked for mental illness etc. I partially blame his aunt for hiding the truth and telling him right from wrong and monsters etc weren't real.! Hiding it from him was more harmful then helpful! I also wonder if the dad was like this prior to the events that conspired.

Some parts are slow as other have said but it's an amazing show. What a story. The acting is really good. A sad but intriguing story of a Fathers madness and how that can affect the life of this around him. It's interesting and thoroughly entertaining. I doubt there will be another season as the show ended on a good note but I wouldn't be disappointed if there was a second season. I was desperately sorry for the son and his secluded life but in the end his coming out changed the lives of so many others in the show and all for the good. As I said before it's an amazing story and told with incredible poignancy.

This is a highly stylised and unusual drama from the makers of C4's 'The End of the ****ing World' which it resembles in tone. If you enjoyed that series as I did then 'Somewhere Boy' is probably going to be for you or vice-versa.

The series follows a teenage boy who has never been out of his house as he learns to become part of a society he's never known and is forced to reappraise his upbringing by his Father and what he taught him.

With each episode about thirty minutes or less it feels pacey and it intrigued me. Production values were good generally and it was well cast, the lead Lewis Gribben was just perfect in the role.

If you're looking for something a bit different give it a whirl, writer Pete Jackson has created a dark and interesting world to explore. Lovely period music too, which reminded me of writer Dennis Potter's works, like 'The Singing Detective'.

In 'The Truman Show', a man grows up on the set of a virtual reality TV show, unaware of the "real" world outside. Yet Truman's reality is so like real life it's hard to feel so much is at stake when he tries to escape. The epnomymous 'Somewhere Boy' is this drama is kept cooped up a in Yorkshire farmhouse by his father, who tells him there are monsters outside. Although unlikely, you can imagine this happening; but what would be look like to be such a child, then to venture outside for the first time? Unfortunately, the drama struggles to meet the challenge it has set itself, and there's a dissonance between the ordinariness of the main story (with its shy but essentially normal protagonist) and the gothic horror of his backstory. More like a collection of illustrative scenes than a complete tale, it lacks the attention to detail that would have been needed to make it ring true.

The show was alright. It's kinda slow and needed more depth or action for sure. The actors aren't that good. The storyline, I wish they would tell a backstop a bit more instead of word by mouth of what happened. It just goes everywhere, meaning the show. It doesn't follow the story very well.

The show is good if you don't have anything else to watch ( which is what I did lol). So, it did it's job meaning it entertained me enough. It would have been better as a movie I think so it didn't drag out. I think that is why it seemed so slow. Next time, put more UUMPH, into it and it will better. Other that it was fine.
