17th September, 2020.
Yep: I managed to finish watching Des, last night.
And … ?
I think I’ve just seen one hell of a series.
Last night’s episode covered the trial.
Actually, I remember the trial!
As I recall, the newspaper coverage of the psychiatric elements of the trial were quite something.
From what I remember, there were arguments about whether Nilsen had Borderline Personality Disorder, or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, what either of them were … and whether they actually existed.
Yes: I can see why David Tennant’s getting the plaudits he is.
He’s done his usually fantastic job.
That’s …
Actually unsurprising: it’s David Tennant.
We expect the man to do a fantastic job: which he has, in his take on the serial killer.
Like I say, it’s unsurprising.
The actor who does get my praise is Daniel Mays.
I first saw him in Outcasts, many year ago.
And didn’t necessarily come away impressed with him, or it.
The things I’ve seen him in, since, though?
Have been definitely better choices.
Des?
Was an utter winner, in that sense.
