Yeah, it's a true story of customs officials in the UK in the 90s that went undercover to basically catch drug dealers because they would have people on the front line.
They thought they wouldn't be as corrupt.
I think the issue is the casting of Coogan.
And because he's played him every five years, that's who he is.
You even saw it in Saipan last year where he's playing Mick McCarthy as Alan Partridge.
And I think when you look at people like Rowan Atkinson, who's like Blackadder, Mr Bean, or to a certain extent,
demographic he's Johnny English he didn't go back to the well with that whereas Coogan every couple of years has another Alan Partridge so you don't forget that and this I feel like it's a bit of miscasting in an otherwise very interesting show okay yeah so Coogan tries to escape the Alan Partridge all the time but he keeps going back it's like a Sisyphean tragedy okay that's Legends on Netflix from Thursday Henrietta
Matthew Rhys, who was in The Beast and Me on Netflix, he was quite good in that.
He's basically playing the mayor from Jaws, but instead of a shark, it's this fog and a curse.
And it's one of those shows that I'd say don't second screen it.
This is one where there's so many little gags in the background.
There's one where one of the locals is trying to board up a hotel to kind of stop people from going.
And then in the background, you see the hotel manager open the door because he's nailed the board to the door as opposed to the frame.
And it's something, it's a comedy horror, which doesn't tend to work.
Like Shaun of the Dead is a great comedy.
