Little Boy Blue ITV Drama Review

Little Boy Blue

ITV Drama Review

4*/5

Little Boy Blue is the four part mini series that was on ITV in England. I found it on YouTube and watched each of the four episodes. It's a drama braised on the real life death of school boy Rhys Jones. 

If I am being honest my heart actually broke 10 years ago when it happened at it was all over the news. This poor innocent 11 year old boy's life got cut short because of gang violence, and watching Little Blue Boy also broke my heart. 

I thought it was so brilliantly acted by all the actors. Even those who were portraying the guilty people. 

It is such a sad story and I think that the last episode is the one that got me the most. 

The one thing I will say that I didn't like about it is the fact that Christine Tremarco is in it. I am not a massive fan of hers anyway and I feel like she brought the scenes she was in down massively. She was in Waterloo Road and Casualty and I didn't like her in those either.

Last Tango in Halifax (Drama)

Netflix Review 

I wasn't to sure about this program. I saw it but never really took interest in it until it said new episodes, I watched the whole thing in 2/3 days and loved it. 

Alan and Celia meet up again after 60 years. They both have families of their own.  They get married and it follows their lives together. Alan and Celia are very different people, Celia is posh and lives with her head teacher daughter where as Alan isn't and lives with his daughter and grandson on a farm. 

What I liked about Last Tango in Halifax was that true love does come around again, and the fact that there is other stories along with the main storyline and that storyline doesn't get lost. 

I liked how different the families were.  Alan and his family were more 'down to earth', didn't care what people thought of them, almost relatable, where as Celia and her family were more posh and unrelateable to their counterparts.

The actors and actresses that are in Last Tango in Halifax are perfect it was brilliant casting and when I saw Nicola Walker in it and played her part as Gillian so well I liked her a lot more. She was in another show that I watched where she played someone completely different and I liked her in that but she was absolutely brilliant in this. 

For the longest time I was sceptical about watching the show because it was set in Yorkshire and even though I am from England, I am from the south and Yorkshire is way up north with a completely different accent then what I have but I got past that and sometimes I would laugh at how different the accents really are.
