The Serpent

Watched the first episode last night and with all the time jumps and so many characters I couldn't grasp the plot.
Is it worth continuing with?

[mallyh]

yes ,we binged watched it .

[DTCwordfan]

Definitely, and definitely again - one of the best dramas of recent times and the acting from Jenna Coleman is superb.....

[aelmpvw]

i thought it was an excellent series

[barry1010]

I was shocked to see Queen Victoria smoking :D

Will keep at it then, I like the music and the fashions

[tiggerblue10]

Yes, definitely. I binged it as well.

I gave up after 2 episodes because of all the flashbacks. Then i returned to it and really enjoyed the entire series.

[aelmpvw]

know you were joking barry but rumour has it that she smoked weed :-)

[Sqad]

I suppose it might be worth a perseverance,compared to other TV presentations.
I found it predictable and felt that more could have been made of the murders.......a little eroticism, considering it was the Far East.
It was OK....nothing more or less.

[barry1010]

Nothing would surprise me about Victoria, ael :) She had voracious appetities

[DTCwordfan]

Barry - what would you do if you saw Her Maj with a tab then, she used to smoke and her sister, well, she kept Philip Morris in business single-handedly - 60-80 extra strong Chesterfield and a partial liking for the amber Scottish liquid as well....

[barry1010]

There is more than enough eroticism in my life, I'm not a voyeur and don't it on my tv, thanks, Sqad

[barry1010]

DTC, everyone smoked back in the day

[Sqad]

Well then barry, you will enjoy it.

[DTCwordfan]

when Princess Margaret popped her clogs, she was cremated at Slough (a good trivial pursuits/quiz question being who was the last royal to be burnt).....in true P-Eye tradition, they had a b&w photo of the crem inside the cover, the chimney buble saying 'one last smoke' and the building's 'it's what she would have wanted.'

[Ken4155]

DTC, do you honestly believe Maggie actually paid for her coffin nails? Every time she lit one up it was free advertising for the tobacco industry.

[ladybirder]

Barry I would say Yes, go with it. It is based on a true story and he is the most awful awful man.
