Aftermaths
Sep. 30th, 2011 10:52 pmTonight ARTE showed Occupation, the BBC drama starring James Nesbitt in which he plays one of the three Biritsh soldiers whose lives undergo major changes after experiencing Iraq war. Great 3 hours of television.
I hadn't seen Nesbitt since Moffat's Jekyll and he delievered here a fine performance as MIke (he was fun to watch in Jekyll but he's better when he doesn't overact). And I was happy to see Lubna Azabal, the Belgian actress who was so unforgettable in that wonderful Canadian film, Incendies.
That said it's Stephen Graham, who plays Danny, who stole the show.
Anyway, kuddos to the Beeb.
