Title: Collateral
Post by: Nearly Sane on February 13, 2018, 12:37:22 PM

In the battle of the John Simm dramas last night, tried Collateral which had a bit of a cast. Interesting set up though a bit clunky and some characters oddly drawn. Perhaps David Hare's writing is a bit too theatre.

I'm going to watch that on iplayer, I watched 'Trauma' on the other side.  I saw the beginning of 'Collateral' before going to bed and will continue when I have time.

i watched them simultaneously accompanied by a nice drop of Laphroaig and found the whole experience very agreeable !!

I have watched both episodes, as NS says, "clunky".  There appear to be about four plots running simultaneously. No doubt they will all come together in a single resolution.
