Boat Story

Anyone watching this black comedy?

We've watched 5 episodes so far.

I think it's so good. Great writing and characters, like Daisy Haggard and Tchéky Karyo, just to name a few. Quite funny at times, in a dark way! 

Not everyone's cup of tea, I suspect, but for those who are not too sensitive, you might want to watch this brilliant series.

We've watched two episodes so far. I makes me laugh but will admit to spending half the time with my head in my hands. The violence is a bit much but subsides when the volume goes down so I know when I can peep again. 🙈

I really liked it - but it was too long and tried to do too many different things.

But such a refreshing change from the usual routine thriller dramas.  Good to see innovation being encouraged again - and the cast was perfect.

Haha.. Tilly, I was like you. A bit unexpected at times!

The holdall Janet gave her ex (so she could legally adopt his son) was absoluely stuffed full and contained(she said)£200,000, yet the total we saw her and Samuel receiving from the gang for the drugs was contained in three not-very-full holdalls.  Didn't Samuel later tell The Tailor they got £5 million?

Also, instead of The Tailor and his henchman/men going after the money, why didn't they ask Janet and Samuel who they sold the drugs to, and go after them  to get the drugs back?

I gave up about 20 minutes into the first episode - not like me to quit so early. I wasn't keen on those old-style message boards before many of the scenes. Have i done it a disservice? Maybe i'll try it again once i'm done with Kin.

I must admit Ken, it annoy me a bit at first, thinking, what the he'll is this? You kind of get used to it after a while. It sort of fits with its quirkiness.  Glad we stayed with it.

Sorry Sandy, not long got in from car journey. As Tilly said, BBC.

Patsy, I couldn't get into this at first but decided to try it again on catch-up after reading some reviews and now I'm hooked!

Daisy Haggard is a great actor, I saw her in something recently about a woman recently released from prison, which was also a good watch.

[Patsy33]

Glad you stayed with it Vagus. I was unsure at first.

Love Dausy Haggard, too.

Yes,  we watched that other series too, think it was called 'After Life' It was comical in a dark way. 😆
