The Serpent

Anyone watching this??
I’ve binged it all on demand and really enjoyed it. Thought the lead actors were all really good and seriously loving the 70s fashion!!!

Loved it but my stress levels were through the roof. Especially when Dominique did a runner, praying he would be safe.

Glad I found this thread! Best thing on TV in a while, absolutely couldn’t get enough of it. Alain/Charles was super sinister and totally evil, Jenna Coleman just looked stunning throughout and the clothes were just amazing! Very well shot and produced, had us gripped all the way through. Well done BBC!

Enjoyed the whole series. The visuals and music were so evocative of the era.

The actor playing Alain must have had a field day perfecting those sinister expressions.

I'd only ever seen Jenna Coleman as Queen Victoria so it was a massive transformation. It was interesting that she had to split her personality - between what Marie would think but what Monique would tolerate - to cope with the killings of so many tourists in Thailand. I was horrified by her complicity but I suppose she was bedazzled by the sociopathic Alain/Charles.

A great choice in a cold, grey January Lockdown.

Just finished it but still running on tv I think.

Whole thing was done so well.

Fashion was great. I like the way they intersped original footage of the locations.

It's just sad that it is a true story.

 

[HoundDog]

We're almost finished. It did make my heart race, I had to have some Kalms. Loving the wardrobe and the acting was fantastic. Best thing we have watched in a long time. Very scary that it was based on a true story. Trust no-one!

 

[Belulah]

How gorgeous was the Thai Colonel!

 

[Tinkerbell cat]

Finished it the other night. Basically binged it all weekend. Thought it was really good, so glad Dominique didn’t end up like one of the other victims - lucky guy! Absolutely loved Jenna Coleman’s wardrobe throughout.
