The Serpent (2021)

Not bad for the BBC. The writing, cast and directing were all top notch. Tahar Rahim knocks it out of the park as usual as the grifter/psychopath/mickey slipper. I was equally impressed with Billy Howle as well. My only complaint about the series was the back and forth chronology. There are better ways to tell a story than playing Time Bandits for 8 hours.

Just started watching this and I agree with you, the jumping back and forth in time was so, so annoying! Great acting thus far and what is so frightening is that it’s a true story! And yes, the BBC has done it again, made a great mini-series! We don’t seem to have those anymore in the USA nor a lot of period dramas which is a shame.
