GamerTab That was an excellent one.
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
SipteaHighTea I love the series and it's too bad it was not a long running one. The blonde Assistant Superintendent James Valentine who eventually became of the aides to the main character Superintend Albert Tyburn was kind of like the Chicago police recruit Georg Stone in the movie The Untouchables because both men were excellent marksmen.The Police Commissioner told Albert Tyburn that he will never be one of them. I got news for the Police Commissioner in that he and the rest of his officers will never be considered part of the British society in Kenya. The Kenya Police was look down upon in British Kenya. I wonder why the producers and writers of the show pick Kenya. Why not send the character to Palestine, Shanghai, Singapore, or Hong Kong? Superintendent Tyburn would have seen plenty of action in murder, smuggling, organized crime particularly Chinese, and gun battles with Chinese mob or in Palestine especially in the Arab Revolt of 1936.
daychooch1 I have seen this mini-series 3 times and each time I enjoy it. Yes, there are a few technical oddities, but, by and large the movie was well acted out by all involved. I believe Trevor Eve played his part quite convincingly. I hope they come out with another mini-series with the same main characters.
aturia This is a terrific series. You totally loose yourself in the times, location; the characters are all too real; you only want it to continue.The acting has so much depth;one has to believe and hope there may be a sequel. I thought the story lines blended well together; the script was tight; if you left for a second, you missed key dialogue. Happy Valley was an "anything goes" society so characters like DeVille, Hans Dietrick Gessler (it was never implied that he was a Nazi), and Daphne's affair are hardly surprising. As for the insignia on the plane, British and Kenyan planes had different registration schemes; I don't know if this was accurately portrayed. All in all 10 stars.
Crunch From every aspect this programme is tremendous. I am mesmerized whilst watching and sad when it ends. The attitudes of social stature are clearly portrayed. I find this highly enjoyable.
