The Walk-In (2022)
8/10
A tough watch, good series.
23 December 2022
A far right group active in The UK plot to kill a second MP, and target several minority groups, one of the members reaches out to activist, Matthew Collins, who writes anti fascist content.

Hard viewing, it is very uncomfortable to watch at times, the first couple of episodes feature some truly harrowing and upsetting content, you will see some sickening events, truly the worst of humanity, fortunately there's a glimmer of hope.

Stephen Graham, one of my favourite actors, I think he just has it, whatever it is, he has tonnes of it, when he's on screen, I watch, he is tremendous here, credit also to Leanne Best and Andrew Ellis, the acting made this drama. Chris Coghill was excellent too, talk about wild eyed.

I've spoken to a few people that said they couldn't get through episode one, that it was too much, what I would say, is that it is less harrowing towards the end.

Very well produced, superbly acted, it felt very realistic. I appreciate this show isn't for everyone, but I'd recommend it, entertaining as well as informative.

I loved the tribute they made to murdered MP Jo Cox, a tragedy that should never have happened.

8/10.
