Inside Man (2022)
Absolutely hilarious!
Brilliant! I haven't laughed this much in months.
This is easily one of the best TV series I've seen in years. And it's weird that this is on Netflix since usually the Netflix series are a bit repetitive and tedious. Inside Man is a gem and absolutely hilarious.
It's not meant to be a traditional thriller and I don't understand how some people seem to miss that. It's made with a tongue in cheek. Anyone who is even slightly familiar with british television and british humour should be able to catch that right from the start.
If you're trying to watch this as a drama thriller then you'll absolutely miss the point.
I love how this series opens up the conversation in your mind and makes you question the human everyday life, this society we've built over the centuries, and humanity in general.
The absurdity and the dark humour of this series are just spot on!
Unforgotten (2015)
Watch only the first four seasons!
I liked the first four seasons very much. I would've rated the series higher if I hadn't seen the fifth season.
Season five started tediously with the new annoying boss. I started to hate her face. The second episode was bearable. Slowly by each episode she started to grow on me to a point where I actually thought she was okay.
Then came the ending of the last episode and the character blew it completely. Now I feel sick thinking about her and the last season in full.
Her behaviour during the last conversation with Hume was revolting. She thought to be so clever that she could see through the old man. She thought she could see through his act even when we had just learned that he was going to take the blame and let the young man get away with the lie. She even applauded to herself and to her own power that she holds as a police. She cloaked it as an ironic applaude to the lord but all I could see was her clapping her hands to her own self-importance and lack of any true intelligence. Her behaviour wasn't only unprofessional but self-righteous and ignorant.
For a while I thought it was actually meant as an anti-feminist twist to the storyline (thinking that the writer wanted to show us that women aren't always right in their bloodlust for automatically believing the worst of men) but then Sunny said that he was on board with her behaviour, using words similar to "you took the words out of my mouth". So it most likely wasn't a twist that was deliberate but just poor writing.
The last episode took away all credibility of the new boss as well as the credibility of the previously clever and somewhat deeper character DI Sunny.
The plot of the season five was good in itself, damaged only by the lazy writing for the detective characters. It is a shame that they weren't able to keep the series flowing without the original star duo.
The Third Day (2020)
Grief of loss and mental health
It seems to be a story about grief of losing a child. The first half of the episodes introduces us to the father. His way of dealing with loss is pretty much opposite from his wife's who is portrayed in the second half of the series.
The shift between these two characters is easily spotted in the storyline through directing and some bold visuals. The world of the father is hazy and fluctuating as he is having problems with his psyche and his mental health. This view through his eyes gives the story the mysterious vibe as the viewer can't be sure which parts are real and which are due to the characters psychosis.
Themes vary from grief and faith to mental health problems, problems in marriage and difficulties with rising children. If you understand mental health problems it is not actually that thrilling but more of a drama.
The mother's responsibility to take care of the elder sisters is heartbreaking. She has rationalized her grief and put it in the back of her head to be able to cope in everyday life. She is full of that hot pain of her loss but won't let it surface. The grief has separated the couple. Pain can not be shared, as the father well states in his episodes.
It's a moving story that got me into tears several times.
