Who would have known that the game boy and Tetris had such a fab historic story that went along with it? We all had at least one, even my mother who was 60 and hooked and could get the space rocket before any of us. Taron Egerton is brilliant as always. His relationship with the Russian genius who created the game tetris was portrayed brilliantly. The few corrupt Russians and the disgraced Maxwells, all had a hand in the history of Tetris and distribution of gameboys explained in this story. For anyone who remembers the start of the video game inventions, it's an absolutely fascinating watch. It seems like yesterday.
I've been hooked all throughout this what was a brilliant show. It left on a cliffhanger (Tom double dealing?) and has become irritating with the 3 "children" bickering. The three of them have random, pointless conversations with unfinished sentences and it's extremely grating. I've had to insist we watch it through to what we were told was the final season. The location jumps about and doesn't add up. It's become almost they're making it up as they go along. This was such a sharp, entitled series and it appears to have lost its way. I will probably watch it to the end now as I've spent so much time investing in it.
Top drama with a great cast. It had humour, suspense and a believable plot. Some well known and not so well know actors and actresses feature. The setting was dark and edge of the seat stuff. I liked all the characters and they all played their parts superbly. It didn't show Belfast in a great light but not too dissimilar from many major cities when you look below the surface. I hope that the BBC will write more of this gripping series very quickly. This is what quality tv is all about and what writers should aspire to create. It's probably one of the best written series since the brilliant Happy Valley. Well worth watching.
