Helen embarks on a passionate affair with a man who has no idea of her secret identity. Caught in the crosshairs when her lover falls victim to London’s dangerous criminal underworld, Helen’s employer enlists Sam to protect her. Bingo, the owner of the guitar shop where Sam gets his guns, is played by Rat Scabies, a member of The Damned. In the TV series 葛雷漢諾頓秀: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). Fairytale of New YorkWritten by Jem Finer, Shane MacGowanPlayed by The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl. Other characters are introduced into the kaleidoscopic narrative, as Knightley and Whishaw are drawn deeper and deeper into an increasingly unfathomable plot while a body count mounts around them in mountainous proportions, sometimes at their hands, while Whishaw still has time to rekindle an old romance. Tightly directed and with credible acting from its A-list stars, for me it failed to live up to its initial promise, spiraling out of control on an overstuffed plot that relied too much on coincidence, violent shootouts and eccentric, offbeat characters. By the time it was all resolved at the end, I felt like the film was somewhere between James Bond-style fantasy and Le Carré-style realism, with escapism unfortunately winning out in the end. I was wrong, she killed him. Same goes for Ben Whishaw, who also looks like he weighs 100 pounds. Both of them were totally believable in their roles. I had a blast watching this show and binged all 6 episodes in one go this weekend. I was hooked the moment I started watching. I’m glad they’re planning on doing a second season because one season just isn’t enough. I want to see more of these characters and the world they’ve built here. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
