Legends - Netflix May 26

[snowibunni]

Anyone watching? I'm in episode 3.

Excellent so far

Steve Coogan, Tom Burke, Alex Jennings , Charlotte Ritchie amongst a high profile cast.

Steve Coogan is playing a blinder as a handler of the under cover HMRC agents.

Love Tom Burke anyway.

Feels apocryphal.

Not bingeing it, it’s too good for that and we want to savour it! The cinematography, the locations, the soundtrack, the cars and set dressing….just superb!

I had to turn it off half way into episode two.

It’s just so unbelievable that I can’t watch it.

Just finished ep4

Really enjoying it. Best thing on netflix in a long time.

It's based on a true story so I am not sure why it's not believable.

Finished this last night.
What a series!
Guessing there won’t be any further series. A shame as they make a great team.
Definitely best thing on Netflix in ages.
My favourite character was Eddie.

Lots of true stories can seem unbelievable.

How anyone thought sticking a few suitcases checkers undercover with violent organised crime gangs was a good idea is unbelievable.

Still it is a good series, but yes absolutely crazy idea. I haven't seen it all but if they all survive it'll be down to pure good luck, certainly not good management.

This was one of the best series I've watched in a long time - absolutely brilliant! Well-written, well cast, well acted (Tom Burke in particular was outstanding), pacy, exciting, funny and with a great 1990 soundtrack. I loved it!

Watchrd the first two, Some of it was filmed very near me so it’s great spotting the location!! The soundtrack is so good - all music from my uni days!!!

Run up to Christmas apparently!

Also binged it over the weekend and loved it!

There are playlists of the music on Spotify.

Another one who loved this series, it was sogood!

But no, not Carter... Hakan 😍

You're all welcome to Carter and Hakan. I'll take Aziz, thanks 😆

Ate people drooling over Hakan?

Numan Acar is also in Jack aryan (season 1 and 4) and Homeland.

@Italiangreyhound I am! 🩷

Me too! Those eyes, and chiselled features!
Surprised by those saying the Carter character was attractive; he had a face like a pudding 🤮

Anyway, great series, really gripping! DH and I did find it hard not to laugh at Steve Coogan though… even when he was being serious!

Aziz was very easy on the eye but why did he insist on wearing jackets about 3 sizes too big for him?? Finished this last night and really enjoyed it. I agree that Carter was a surprising casting as he just didn’t look hard enough! Was his mother Jackie Corkhill out of Brookside?

Surprised by those saying the Carter character was attractive; he had a face like a pudding 🤮

Face like a pudding 😆But I know what you mean. He looked like a sulky teenager to me - the opposite of sexy.

Carter reminded me of a young David Morrissey. Biggest casting surprise was Gerald Kyd (Mylonas) who was Dr Maddox in Casualty in the late 90s. I’m usually pretty good at remembering actors, but this one escaped me completely.

Gerald Kyd was pretty hot, too. And I always have a little swoon over Alex Jennings!

Gosh, this HRT is working well!

He’s from Chester where I live. Went to high school up the road

Loved this! Watched over 2-nights, highly recommended 😜
