Monster (2017)
6/10
Not that monstrous!?
11 April 2021
I've been obsessed with many a "Walter Presents" and, although there's been a few terrible reviews, I decided to give it a chance anyway... I'm totally in agreement regarding one or two or three faux-pas mentioned in several reviews, but I found it quite watchable and the characters were decent and interesting enough to compel me to keep watching!

And yes, there were no real surprises in the final episode (which was a tad disappointing), but mostly I'm quite impressed by these "film Noire" dramas (most of which turn out to be pretty reasonable viewing, and plenty of them too, compared to anything new on UK TV Channels, and usually worth a binge watch! Actually, if a UK Drama isn't binge able, I get bored and often the plots are difficult to keep up with (sign of these awful times). Subtitles not a problem although, if you forget to pause when putting the kettle on, you have to keep pushing it back a few scenes. But I just love hearing all these different languages! This is only an observation (I'm past the age of drooling over male actors), but does anyone else think Jakob Oftebro resembles a young version of Brad Pitt? Maybe just in this drama ha ha!!

Definitely worth a watch, regardless of the odd unrealistic scene!
