Just finished this - Escape at Dannemora.

A real slow burner and only seven episodes.

Great performances from Benicio Del Torro and Patricia Arquette, but Paul Dano as the other prisoner who escapes with Del Torro steals it for me.

Don’t be put off by how slow it is, as it all erupts in episode 6.
Really good show and based on a true story. Ben Stiller produced this. In an interview he said he tried to keep it real and not make it hollywood. The only thing one of the prisoners Mitchell said wasn't true was the sexual favours. But Stiller and his crew felt he was lying so they left it in their script haha

I liked the fact that it was quite raw, with a low budget feel, which it obviously wasn’t, as Del Torro doesn’t come cheap or do rubbish.

I can see the initial slow pace putting some people off though.

That's true, I have to admit I had to watch the first episode twice hahaha!! I was tired and fell asleep.

Glad i re-watched it though
 
Anyone watched 'Manhunt on ITV. Got it on catch up for me and her.Is it worth sitting through the 3 episodes back to back ?

I know a few have answered but it’s a good series this , only a couple of episodes but deals with the story really well . I’d imagine it illustrates the true nature of an enquiry Like this , rather than a tortured hard drinking cop trusting his gut it’s the hard slog that you’d think it takes to catch somebody like Bellfield .
