Very surprised at the negative reviews Thought it expertly written and acted with extremely high level of filming. Thought it on a par with White Lotus for quality and surprises. Looking behind the curtains of an ideal surban 30's estate revealing the cracks gradually widening. Expertly made.

Superb film, reminding me of Lord of the Flies. Based on a true story I stumbled on it on Amazon and initially thought it was a cheap TV film but after a short time realised the acting, filming and locations were all superb. It develops into a highly engaging and compelling film as paradise turns into turmoil. No spoilers but a must watch film from Ron Howard.

Superb series. Sublime acting, dialogue and fiming.Engaging and emotional. Production standards are film standards. It depicts the ending of an era in a subtle and engaging way. The best series I have seen on all platforms for some years. Wish it was followed up with another series ..maybe as they came back 'home' and adjusted to life.

Surprised i like it. Hammond is quite funny in a way and his two sidekicks helping him are normal blokes. As a business it is quite evident already that without his funding it wouldn't see the light of day. Enjoyable seeing the cars. He is no fool but likes to give the Impression he is.

Oh dear, this is awful. From screenplay to acting and credibility. Shame that talented film makers from lighting, sound crews and many others have to waste their professional lives making such a poor film. Incredible that the Obama's are executive producers. Watch 'Anatomy of a Fall' a relatively low budget but brilliantly crafted film that has jus won an Oscar for screenplay. We switched off before the conclusion.

Was expecting an engaging film after all the hype generated by the press and film studio. Given how great this man was and the high regard so many have for him, how could it go wrong. Sadly it did. It failed to engage and lacked any emotional connection. Shooting in black and white didn't elevate it to a higher level. When most think of Bernstein they associate him with West S Story, a colourful film where great sense of colour changes mood and feeling. Gave it 30 minutes and we ended up watching a brilliantly engaging film, 'Tell me who i am'.

Having read the novel on the basis of a recommendation by Andre Agassi whose biography happened to be written by JR, the subject/author I had expected more. The irony is that the author finally falls on his feet by having his memoir made into a film. Ironical as he's basically an average writer and yet he has now hit the jackpot. The book didn't really draw me in. It seemed unauthentic, even if it is based on real events. Characters seem superficial and perhaps due to his lack of writing ability. I was interested to see if the film could bring it to life and take certain aspects of the book and make more of them. It failed unfortunately, for me. It's shot in a flat way, and has the look of a budget TV series. Central to the film is the bar and the characters that reside in it, yet both aspects lack any character or interest. Main actor is good, rest average but perhaps that's down to poor script and direction. All a bit flat and unreal, despite being based on a real memoir.

As a film it's well made and acted, holds your attention. It would have been too challenging to have based it purely as Chamberlain as the central figure. Personally I would have preferred that as the sub plot is fiction but the film is a good watch.

Good, very English. Well acted, written, produced and shot. Well deserved credit given to someone lost in history otherwise. Only issue I have is some strands were fictionalised from what one can tell as no mention made at the end what happened to them. Shame that film makers felt Joe Public need a bit of romance and added elements to make it work. They would no doubt argue it's a film and therefore they can stray from facts.

Best series we have seen on TV for some time. Up there with the very best. Some comments say it went down hill but I would say 2nd Episode slightly slow but then the pace developed to a high intensity. Acting and characters extremely good.
