Honestly, after one episode, I'm not sure what to make of The Way. It has the feel of an apocalyptic thriller, but it's just a fantasy of what would happen in Wales if Port Talbot stopped making steel. So, lots of choreography going on for the riot scenes, or maybe the local extras are just gifted like that. The police turn Port Talbot into a Chinese-like police state which doesnt really make sense. Then the army come in because if police budget cuts. There's no rhyme or reason for any of it really but it seems to want to evoke the memory of the miners strikes from back in the 80s but with no apparent end-game. The episodes flit across multiple days without context. It's not like they tell us what's happened in the intervening days.
For me, this evokes memories of the highly depressing post-apocalyptic BBC thriller, Threads. It has that sort of feel, that sort of peril. There's even an eerie emergency siren warning that turned out to mean nothing. The music is great however, it keeps me going but whatever the story is, it's a mess. Watch it for the familiar faces but don't get too lost by the narrative. I really can't see where it's meant to be going.
