Review of Bang

Bang (2017– )
8/10
Intense; a bit brutal

I binge-watched Series 1 and 2. The acting is superb. Sam, played exceptionally well by Jacob Ifan, is a pain in the backside. Sam is so insecure, needy and unstable it becomes annoying toward the end of Series 2. Sam craves affirmation, but each time he receives it he rejects it.

Gina, played by Catrin Stewart, is played very well as the perhaps the "too loving" sister to Sam. Gina and Luke (Jack Perry Jones) are well-paired.

I was disappointed to see that Gareth Jewell, DI Roberts, performed only in Season 1. DI Morgan, Dyfan Dwyfor became the DI in Season 2. Dwyfor's portrayal as the angry husband/detective is a stellar performance. He surely gave me "the creeps". Sadly there are in fact just like DI Morgan in real life.

I enjoyed Season 1 a bit more than Season 2. The extravagance of violence and brutality in Season 2 was / is a bit much. Matthew Aubrey as Rhys (S1) performs altogether perfectly as the proverbial "bad boy".

When watching any movie or TV series, I tend to immerse myself into it becoming one with the characters. I became "one" with the actors in "Bang". Each performer deserves considerable credit for performing well done!
