I must be missing something. This is one of the worst dramas the BBC has produced in the last 20 yrs. Terrible chemistry (cast took social distancing to a new level), overacted, awful awful script. You don't need to have an inside knowledge of the UK judicial system to know that the Marvel franchise is more believable than this shocker. Having said that, if you approach it in the same frame of mind as you would watch Snakes on a Plane, you might enjoy laughing at it.

One of the most underwhelming cinematic experiences of the last decade. I am running through all the marvel films in chronological order but must admit this was the first time I'd watched the Avengers. I couldn't wait to see what all the fuss was about. It's the first film I've ever fallen asleep in. Plot line was woeful. The fight sequences already appear dated. The characters conversations all merge into a dirty cacophony of grunting attempts to throw a decent one-liner. There was about as much harmony as my son's primary school orchestra. One minute the Hulk is destroying anyone in his wake, the next he is hanging out as part of the team with a twinkle in his CGI-eye. No idea why (but maybe I missed that when I fell asleep). Thank goodness for Robert Downey Jr. who salvaged a terrible script into something palatable - there's the true hero.
