The Serpent

[Ken4155]

Has anyone on here managed to watch more than 2 episodes of this series? Has anyone actually managed to watch the whole of the series - 'cos if so, you deserve a medal.
I watched episodes 1 and 2 this evening. At first, i thought it was going to be half decent. Then 4 months earlier, i almost changed my mind and 2 months earlier, i actually did change my mind and was just about to press the 'off' button, when we were suddenly transported to March 1976. "Ah," i thought, "back to the present day. But no! Instead we were transported 10 months into the future, only to be sent back 4 months - or was it 6? And then, hey presto, we were in '75!!!
I think i'm on record on AB as saying i don't mind it too much when a story is told in flashback mode, but this chopping and changing has got me more than a tad confused. Shame because i could watch Jenna Coleman all day long - providing she stayed in the same time zone:-(

Watched half episode one. Bin job!

[Ken4155]

I was bored, Theland, so i managed 2 episodes. Don't believe i'll watch any more of it.

[Samuraisan]

I agree. It's a shame because it could have been good. By the way, don't like Jenna Coleman's nose job. It's too perky to be natural, in my opinion.

I am really enjoying it - it's tense exciting well acted and beautiful locations as well. The time shifts I dont mind at all - I think it adds to the overall story. And it is based on fact and I usually prefer fact based dramas.

[Ken4155]

Not 'based' on, Rosie, 'inspired by'. Big difference.

Potential is there,but it's not reaching it for me,but I have watched worse.
Going on a bit, as I am on Episode 6.?....I think and yes, I think that I will complete the Series.

It grew on me - great production design. Not sure about Jenna Coleman though

I managed about half an hour of the first episode, too tedious for words.

I started watching it tonight, ( recommended ) . Ive watched 2 1/2 episodes I may persevere. Is the acting rubbish ?
