Tedious. Cliche. No subtlety. Story lines laid on with a trowel. Ludicrous "secret coded messages". Saying what? I'm here so bomb here? The implication that precision bombing is guided by this inside intel is drivel. If there's something in the book it's lost in the translation to the screen. Hugh Laurie does his serious tone to order; the only thing serious is the money he's making.

Excellent series. I disagree with comments about "hokey dialogue". Character development is very good. They all grow on you. The humor is subtle.

Dreadful. Expensively produced. Terrible material for the proper actors of which Brown is not one.

Great fun. Daniel Craig's Southern drawl alone makes it worth watching. Workman-like but clever too.

Prefer the original. I see reviews saying "epic action". I don't know what that means. Action for its own sake, fighting per se I just don't find entertaining.

Interesting time slipping concept. Hackeyed view of post democratic Britain (V for Vendetta rip off). Gut wrenchingly woke. All the decent folk in Britain are Muslims current day. The heroic unarmed detective chasing the man with the gun is a kind of Muslim superwoman. The most white people on screen at the same time are all right wing racists violently demonstrating (a young Conservatives group perhaps?) This is depicted as present day Britain preparing the way for right wing dictatorship in the later time period. The bent copper in the 1940s is Jewish. Let's hear it for the Palestinians.
