The Man (2019)
7/10
A difficult watch but most noteworthy
19 December 2019
I managed to get through this unlike BBC 2's recent series "The Replacement" which, despite being bullied myself in the past, was too hard to get through but, this shorter series was difficult and cringing to get through but I felt for with a main character that was possible to resonate with and it saw me through to the end. One of my favourite films was Channel 4's Good And Bad At Games which had a similar theme but had a disappointing outcome for those looking for justice. I won't ruin the end of this for you but hope you will see the show through. It was good to see Ben Miller in a serious role but I am not sure the subject matter was the one in which for him to take an non-stereotypical part. I have to say it was brave of ITV to make a show like this and particularly to screen it at a time of year when advertisers want to show the world as being joyous and harmonious before Christmas. These issues need to be highlighted so others don't have to suffer so my hat goes off to then for that.
