The Hour - Season 1 (BBC)

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Did anyone watch this? I know it ended a month ago but I only got around to watching all the episodes this past weekend.

I thought it had a good premise but was inconsistent in its execution. Some modernisms snuck into the script and the whole anti-feminist thing was extremely patronizing. The thing was it wasn't one episode that was bad, it was one episode that starts out good and then oscillates between good and bad till the end. The non-sexual relationship between Freddie and Bel for example was great but then ended on, in my opinion, such a poor note.

Anyway, I didn't find a thread on this so I thought I'd start one. Series two has already been commissioned apparently.

Of course, I was thinking someone would have wrote something about the costumes, roped shoulders, tweeds and braces of the time.

I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty accurate for what they were trying to represent. Good acting by the skinny guy and McNulty. The boss woman wasn't all that great, or great looking for that matter. Would definitely watch S2.

Series was great. Love the attention to detail.

You can see in the studios and bathrooms the posters for their shows hanging and etc..

episode 3 hunting scene was very nice as well, loved the outfits.

Overall the series was good, the ending wasn't a big surprise, Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
you could sort of tell from clarence's great acting that he was the russian spy, but the whole brightstone thing, i didn't think about Freddie being his brightstone

The actor who plays Freddie makes me look fat. It was comical seeing him borrow the other chap's tuxedo for dinner. Jacket size 36 would seem big on him.

As for the one who played Bel, she's not my type but has a bit of a spark. Incidentally, IMDB says she's born in Hong Kong.
