Episode 2.5
Prismark1016 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Baptiste has got Will Chambers. He and Emma Chambers hope to get some answers.

Although we get the reasons why Will and Alex turned to right wing anti immigrant ideology. The murder of their sister by an asylum seeker was the catalyst.

Their father was killed by Juszt because he got in the way.

Will is playing for time and spinning a yarn. Baptiste suspects this.

There was a lot of heated drama. Conrad Khan who plays Will is very believable as the mixed up traumatic kid.

Not sure why an incident of the sister being murdered was needed. Why can't Will and Alex believe in the ideology because they believe it's correct however misguided.

Tragedy breeds tragedy.

We just timelines, and learn some of the reasons that shaped events, and why those involved were shaped, and motivated to do what they did.

It has been a real slow burn watch, at times it has been guilty of being a little boring, but there have been real signs of life, I had a feeling that it was going to get a move on, and build towards something, I thought this was terrific.

I don't think it's an accident that this was set in Hungary, read into that what you will, this makes you think, and poses all sorts of awkward questions, can families overcome acts of terrorism, where does loyalty end, do people feel revulsion for all terrorists, or just those that aren't linked by blood.

Very thought provoking, very controversial, it give both sides of the arguement, the reality, the anger, I thought the writing here was cracking.

Conrad Kahn was excellent here as Will, he really did hold up well to the two seasoned pros Tchéky Karyo and Fiona Shaw, pretty much a three hander, the acting was terrific.

Loved it, 9/10.

Obsession Curtailed
Hitchcoc28 December 2021
A mother's love? This woman has an obsession with finding her sons. But she stupidly allows them to continue their carnage. When Baptiste kills the first, the second is captured. He is a liar and a terrorist. When Baptiste leaves her alone with her son, she quickly acts on his word--stupidly. But here comes Episode 6 with an explanation.
