Review of Scoop

Scoop (2024)
7/10
Well cast, creative and interesting
6 April 2024
I enjoyed all the cast. All made me feel that this was an accurate telling of a tragic scandalous story.

The story was told in an interesting way, with some creativity in the timeline. I liked that it was told from the Bookers point of view, with Billie Piper performing as good as ever.

The drama and tension was good, even though we all know the ending. With the tension being just about right.

I struggled with the celebration of the BBC and the Programme, especially after the way they treated the main presenter after all of this. All of which was omitted, rightly, from this narrow scope of the story

But this was enjoyable and is one of the better Netflix productions. Recommended.
