I’m going to watch this at the weekend, when my kids are at their dad’s place.

So you’d recommend then?

Is it in the form of a reality show, but fiction? Or is it replicating real life situations?

It's a drama/ thriller written by an ex cop, its shows a side of policing a lot of us don't want to believe exists. X

As good at it is, and it is very good. There are a few small parts that it breaks. Very minor though.

I thought the lead role would have suited Steven Graham , however Martin freeman nails it.

Very well acted

In the west.

I've only watched the first to episodes so far. It's a totally different type of role for him. I think he is great in it.

Steven Graham is Scouse but not as good an actor as Freeman.

For me Graham is one of those actors who is always the same person what ever he's portraying.

Forget which film he played an American in recently but I winced at his accent.

Stephen Graham would have been lazy casting. It’s too obvious a choice.

Martin Freeman nailed this role

And I absolutely loved this series. Binged the whole thing on Saturday!

The Irishman?

Agree whilst he's a good actor he doesn't have the same depth as Freeman..

Who is excellent in this series, not an easy watch at all but he's nailed it..

Not sure which recent one. I've not been following too many movies this past year.

In Black Panther he played an American, and it was bad. Worse than Benedict Cumberbatch's American accent attempts.

He does a Jamaican accent in the Idris film ‘Yardie’ and my ears bled.

I never understand why some people get cast as certain parts, and then need to do an accent.

I get it, Benedict cumber batch played and looked the part of Dr Strange great. The accent meh. But it was a big part and accent aside he was great for the role. He made the character work.

Martin Freeman's role was a random CIA agent that could have been played by any American, and yet the went with a none American, and one with a dodgy American accent impersonation.

My guess is he took notes and is why he put in so much more effort to perfect the scouse accent.

Absolutely confuses me as well. If it’s not a big role, why risk a terrible accent? He was completely outdone by Serkis too. Serkis actually did the best accent in the film for me but we know he’s quality.

Freeman definitely read the comments online and put in extra time in front of his mirror

Worst one was his Welsh accent in White House Farm. I love him, but I could barely watch that because of the accent.
