Uncomfortable viewing but the performances of the main characters are excellent. I read that Gadd turned down a lot of offers following Baby Reindeer to get this made.

I saw that @browellm posting his top 10 science fiction movies the other day and I found the lack of this and
disturbing.
Both flawed but both faves.

Need more of this where was the list?
First watched at uni the day of some fairly serious family stuff, which did not put me in the best of mindsets…
Back when it was released I made the (as I now realise) somewhat bizarre decision to go and see Event Horizon at the cinema on a substantial dose of mushrooms! It was visceral to say the least! Unbelievably beautiful though, despite being obviously scared out of my wits, and then dreaming the entire night afterwards that I was in the film.
Over the subsequent years, I’ve reflected that I’m probably quite lucky to have come out of that sane. Or relatively sane.

- Customs agents go undercover to infiltrate Britain’s most dangerous drug gangs, following a thrilling criminal investigation based on extensive research and interviews with those involved in the top-secret operation.
- Set in the early 1990s, when Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise was losing its battle with illegal drug smuggling (across Britain’s borders), a group of British Customs employees are sent undercover to infiltrate some of the U.K.'s most dangerous criminal (drug) gangs. However, these were not trained spies; they were normal men and women, plucked from their ordinary lives, and placed into this top-secret operation. After going through a basic training regime, they were tasked with building new identities in the criminal underworld. These identities were called Legends.
Great ensemble cast Steve Coogan on good form. All eps available on Netflix, binged ‘t first five over last two nights lookin’ forward to finale tonight.

Quite enjoying this. Matthew Rhys as the mayor of a remote & cursed island, trying to get more tourists to visit. Comedy & horror.
