I've watched three of the five episodes, so hopefully it doesn't tank in the final two, but so far this one is recommended.
Watched it and it was OK. Redmayne isn't a very good baddie.

But he's a rather good 'Edward Fox' . Many of the little mannerisms and looks are nods to the original film.

I thought the Kneecap film on Amazon Prime was pretty funny if not quite worthy of some of the lavish praisenits received.

I just finished the 1st series of Wolf Hall and I really enjoyed it. Mark Rylance is bloody brilliant in everything he does, and this is no exception.
Started 2nd Series last night and it seems to be just as good (and the substitutions at half time seem to be working out well)

S2 is excellent. Rylance is a brilliant actor.

He is. I'm going to see him in Juno and The Paycock this weekend.

Nice one. This was a play we studied for English O Grade wouldn't mind seeing it, but looks like it ends on 23 Nov.
