INSIDE MAN Official Trailer (2022)

Title: INSIDE MAN

Genre: miniseries (4 episodes, running time per episode: 60 minutes, drama-thriller (or black comedy - as I see it)

Location: the series is set in the UK and the USA. Filming locations included St Andrew's Church in Farnham, Godalming Railway Station, Godalming, Broad Street in Wokingham and Welcome Break Fleet Services in Fleet‘Inside Man’ is filmed entirely in England, specifically in Surrey, London, Berkshire, and Hampshire. Many pivotal sequences for ‘Inside Man’ are lensed across Surrey, the 12th most populous county in England, located in South East England. St Andrew’s Church on Upper Church Lane in Farnham, Bourne Woods on Lower Bourne in Farnham, Hankley Common, and seemingly Leith Hill in Redlands Woods serve as important filming sites for the series.

MAIN CHARACTERS: 

Harry Watling, an English vicar forced into a difficult situation:

Inside Man: 5 questions after first episode of David Tennant drama

Jefferson Grieff, a former criminology professor on Death Row in an Arizona prison:

Dillon Kempton, a serial killer on Death Row in Jefferson’s prison who acts as his assistant:

Inside Man cast on BBC1: Who stars in the David Tennant drama?

PLOT: Harry Watling is a vicar from an English town who's life becomes tangled up with that of a death row inmate (played by Stanley Tucci), an investigative journalist, and a maths tutor in the most unimaginable way.

The series has two intertwining storylines.

One storyline is set in England where a vicar makes one bad decision that leads to a chain of events that seems to ruin his whole life, carreer and family.

The other storyline is set in a high security prison is the US where a former criminology professor is on death row for murdering his wife. Awaiting his execution he solves criminal cases, including the vicar's case.

MEMORABLE QUOTE:  “Everyone’s a murderer – you just need a good reason and a bad day.”

WHY DO I RECOMMEND IT?  the series is set in England and a UK. It means that we can hear characters using British and American English, there's also a character with a Scottish accent. It's really interesting to compare the accents. The story is quite morbid but makes you think of how one bad decision can turn your life upside down and ruin your whole life.

A city that I particularly like/ Music that I often listen to

I would like to talk about Pécs. I moved here ....  ago because I wanted to study at the University of Pécs.

I think Pécs is very popular with young people. The university has a good reputation and the city has a pleasant atmosphere: there are numerous cultural and entertainment facilities where you can spend your free time. The city is located in the south of Hungary so it has a mild climate. The population is around 150,000 - one of the largest cities in Hungary, but still liveable. It's famous for its history, cultural heritage and monuments. Pécs is worth visiting because you can see a lot of beautiful buildings, interesting museums, wonderful parks and you can go hiking in the Mecsek Mountains. 

I live in the city centre so I find everything within walking distance: the university, the language school, many shops and landmarks.

I recommend Pécs to everyone who would like to make the most of their university years.

Music that I often listen to:

I'm fond of rock music and I usually listen to this kind of music when I am at home doing housework or even writing my thesis.

I particularly like a German band called Rammstein. The band formed in Berlin in 1994 and  has 6 members. They play hard rock and industrial metal.  I really enjoyed listening to their eighth album titled 'Time' which they released in 2022. I have already bought tickets for their 2023 European Staduim tour. I really look forward to seeing them performing live.

Sometimes I listen to more popular music, like Madonna songs or music from the 1980s.

Nowadays it's really easy to find music that you like. You can listen to hundreds of radio stations online, you can suscribe to Spotify or look up your favourite artists on YouTube. You can download music to your telephone and listen to music when you are traveling on a bus, standing in a line at the supermarket or sitting in your doctor's waiting room. Modern blutooth headphones help you enjoy quality music everywhere without disturing others.

If you ask me listening to music has a lot of benefits: it elevates your mood, reduces stress and helps you relax.
