Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

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.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

They thought they wouldn't be as corrupt.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

I think the issue is the casting of Coogan.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

I think he is Alan Partridge.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

And because he's played him every five years, that's who he is.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

You even saw it in Saipan last year where he's playing Mick McCarthy as Alan Partridge.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

And I think when you look at people like Rowan Atkinson, who's like Blackadder, Mr Bean, or to a certain extent,

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

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

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

Yeah, I really, really enjoyed it.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

Matthew Rhys, who was in The Beast and Me on Netflix, he was quite good in that.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

He's basically playing the mayor from Jaws, but instead of a shark, it's this fog and a curse.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

And it's one of those shows that I'd say don't second screen it.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

This is one where there's so many little gags in the background.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

There's one where one of the locals is trying to board up a hotel to kind of stop people from going.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

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.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

He is absolutely incredible.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

And it's something, it's a comedy horror, which doesn't tend to work.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

It's either one or the other.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

Like Shaun of the Dead is a great comedy.

Brendan O'Connor
The Watchlist

I wouldn't say it's a great horror.
