The Control Room (TV Series) Episode #1.2 (2022) User Reviews

Fast paced and energetic.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 7/10 · 23 July 2022]

Ant has enough on Gabe to get him to do a job for him, a job that seems to be incredibly dicey.

I have ready some quite scathing reviews about this show, personally I'm really enjoying it.

This second half had lots of energy and tension, Iain De Caestecker was terrific once again as Gabe, he had me on edge throughout. Being just three episodes long, it doesn't hang about.

I've been glad to see Daniel Portman playing a bigger part, seriously too good an actor to be playing a minor, decorative part, he was very good here.

I loved the way that woman in the shop was looking at him, and hia goods, and that till system must have dated back to the 1980's.

7/10.

Too much running!

I'll stick with it for the last episode but really can't find anything likeable about the main character (who spends half the episode just running here and there) It's really not believable that he would do all this, mess up his life for someone he hasn't seen for years because of what he did as a child. Every step is dafter than the last. Who would try and change plates in broad daylight? Then he buys his 'body burying' supplies from a little shop instead of B&Q where he wouldn't be noticed? Has he not heard of CCTV on every street? The police are useless, the second storyline about the supervisor too far fetched (and they are sending very incriminating messages over the control room server!) I just don't buy any of it.

Episode 2

[Prismark10 · 4/10 · 23 July 2022]

With Gabe under pressure. He ends up doing a deal with his supervisor Anthony.

Be an Amazon delivery boy or Anthony will go to the police.

Gabe has no choice only to later find when he goes to do the exchange. The police home in.

Meanwhile Gabe's dad has taken the van.

Meanwhile the flashbacks suggest that young Gabe did something very bad as a child.

There is an interesting story but it seems to be clumsily done. Almost as clumsy as Gabe trying to open an envelope in the toilet cubicle.

It's almost as if Gabe is sabotaging his own life.
