Inside Man (II) (2022)

Moffat and Tennant back again
1 November 2022
How to win my heart in 2 seconds: a series created by Steven Moffat, for the BBC, with David Tennant and Stanley Tucci starring in it. I was already in love even before the first second of the 4 episode series. For the story, I will not say more than what is in the synopsis: "A prisoner on death row in the US and a woman trapped in a cellar under an English vicarage, cross paths in the most unexpected way." It is very much a British series, so if you are more into big action US ones, you will probably hate it, which would explain the rates you see all around. You do need to get through the first scene though, which is at best cringe worthy. You then get into a 4 hour long movie divided into 4 episodes so that you can watch them at a pace (yes, of course I binge watched them), where the whole premise could be summarised with 'Everyone is a murderer. You just have to meet the right person' said by Stanley Tucci within the first episode. The acting is superb from Tucci and Tennant (how else could it be?), though not great with the supporting actors. I did find it fun that I hated the main victim so much that I was on the aggressor's side.
