[TV] Vigil TV Series

[Deportivo Seagull]

Was his name Mr Mounce?

Quite possibly but to be honest I can’t remember, but a lovely bloke. He was of the work hard play hard’ school and hated reggies with a passion. I think he was the most senior chief coxswain in the RN at the time (1986). I do know that he crossed the bar around 2010.

Just watched the first two back to back.
Good plot but as for the scenarios with the boat go it's a pure embarrassment.

Well…kept my attention….only downside is waiting until next Sunday for another episode…ive been spoilt with the likes of Netflix etc when you binge watch

 

[Weststander]

I like it.

And just laugh at the vastness of the sub’s interior. They’re not the first, Hollywood invariably do this, the huge ops room was also seen on Hunt For Red October.

Ludicrous plot and indiscipline/rudeness between ranks, doesn’t bother me.

Very much enjoying the continuing adventures of HMS TARDIS.

On a serious note, of course it's not accurate in every detail, but there's more than enough going on to keep people (me included) interested and watching, which is the ultimate point

Great series ,It has my attention.

I’m finding it a bit disjointed and I think the technique of replacing strong narrative with plot twist after plot twist is wearing a bit thin in these dramas but it’s a perfectly welcome distraction on a Sunday night.

Mrs DiS and I are hooked, and are not bothered about the inconsistencies or inaccuracies of the plot or sets. It’s fiction. It’s called poetic (or dramatic) license.

Yes, plenty of inaccuracies, this week's was Walsh able to get pissed on board and get access to a gun.

The one thing that was really stupid though was at the tail end of episode 2 when Jade leaves the relative safety of the Peace Camp to " Go meet someone " in the middle of nowhere and in the dark. It was patently obvious she was going to be the next victim.

Probably too late for many but this is available in 4K on the iplayer.

Enjoying it and just like Line of Duty everyone is hiding something and is a suspect. More twists and turns than a Go Kart track.

Enjoyed the first two, but last night's episode bordered on the ridiculous! As a lover of "Scandi-noir" it's interesting to see a British TV drama trying to do some similar things (moody theme music; desolate, but beautiful, landscapes; weather mainly grey....). What surprises me is the PACE - everything happens at 100 mph in Vigil....there's no time to get to know the characters, or for the plot to develop in a logical way. It's just crazy how many twists there are in a one hour episode. Maybe we Brits don't have the attention span...?

Enjoyed it so far. Easy money for Martin Compston compared to Line of Duty!

Binge watched Stockholm Requiem last week (for the second time)….thoroughly enjoyed it…..but I’m also enjoying this series just in a different way

As someone who doesn't do fiction/drama per se or watch TV hardly, If I do its sport/music/comedy. we've found it enjoyable, after a weekend working on the house it was about all we could manage come 9pm!

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Just a heads up that on Channel 5 next week the start of a new series , Submarine,Life Under the Waves
Hopefully it will give you a true insight of life onboard a boat and it's not funded by the Scottish Govt.

Ep 4 starting in a few mins.

 

[Weststander]

SPOILER ALERT.

The plot thickens with a murdering Russian spy, a US sub shadowing Vigil and an Agatha-esque extensive list of candidates to be the Russian spy/murderer on board. The Glasgwegian police detective now been given full access to UK state secrets and in no time at all has mastered submarine technology.

How did the cook receive the news about her son, if the boat is on patrol?

I've been trying to work that out too.
