Loosely based on the book. Half the story. Poor character development. Critical scene of the significant car crash and aftermath was pathetic. Nothing like the major accident it was meant to be. Main characters who were 'aged' were poor resemblance of their younger selves. It would have been better to keep the same actors and age them. The book made emphasis on Jennifer being blonde but she wasn't. Some of the character names were changed for no apparent reason. The sound quality was very poor. I don't remember from the book that Jennifer was American. Unnecessary changes. It meant that what could have been a real heart tugger was flat and dull.

Litvinenko
(2022)
Very informative & good drama
28 June 2023
I didn't think I'd be convinced that I could forget it was David Tennant in the leading role but the acting and drama was good and gripping enough that I did. It reminded me of some of Vladimir Putins past that I had forgotten. It's a shame that Mrs Litvinenko didn't have a better wig. I found it quite irritating. It was so obviously a wig and this was not necessary. Good performance by all cast. Mark Bonnar kept his London accent very well. One could really get the sense of frustration that the police officers faced. The scale of the possible danger to the British public was better reflected in the accounts of the accompanying program where the real people involved were explaining their part.
