- TriviaDuring a live take when filming the external scenes for the fictional 'London Police Station' a member of the public approached supporting artists who were dressed in police uniforms and tried to report a crime that had just taken place. Undeterred by the film unit and cast members advising that a television series was being filmed with fictional characters, the person attempted to report the crime inside the building, not realising that this was a set which had been mocked up to look like a real police station. The building was actually that of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) who investigate air accidents and near misses and not routine crime.

Featured review
A British mystery with more drama than thrills.
Collateral (2018), is a new four part limited mini-series that was made by BBC and presented to the rest of the world as a Netflix Original. We were thoroughly intrigued by the trailer which promised a lot with the stellar cast. The 4 episodes of this mini series occur over four consecutive days. They have tried to address too many issues in this short mini series, which in my opinion might have muddles the waters a bit. Carey Mulligan as DI Kip Gillespe, Jeany Spark as Major Sandrine Shaw, John Simm as MP David Mars and Nicola Walker (one of my favorite mini screen actors) as a gay clergy were stellar in their roles.
The series has bits about the pains of a homecoming soldier, the desperation of the refugees fleeing from their terror riddled home countries, drug abuse amongst young mothers, LGBT acceptance amongst the English clergy, rank abusing Army superiors and the immigration stance that has ravaged all developed nations. They have bitten off more than can chew and it becomes glaringly obvious when you watch the characters struggle with their problems.
To summarize, I would say its a decent watch which promised a lot more than it eventually delivered. Too many issues and too little a screen time (and yet there were a few boring fleeting moments in between) might have acted against in making this an exceptional watch. Its a nice enough watch but nothing earth shattering.
