ib011f9545i I am not a customer of the company that made this ,so never saw it on tv. I picked up the dvd cheap and watched it over 2 days.I love a good mini series (The Night Manager,The Company,Mcmafia for example) but I feel this was not a good mini series.Poor John Hurt looked unwell in this,he died not long after making it I think. Samantha Morton was not stretched in her part. I give no spoilers but the story is well known to viewers of every British crime drams since the 1990s.It is well made but I can't see how people said it was great,it is not awful but I would watch The Night Manager if you you have not seen it

akash_sebastian Starts with an old-fashioned diamond heist, but then the series dives deep into the lives of its three lead protagonists and explores the links between crime, war and finance. The characters have enough depth, and the cinematography and music are brilliant. But it somehow fails to build enough tension with ammo of information it has. The various circumstances blur the line between professional and personal in the lives of these characters. Overall, it's intelligent and insightful, and really uncovers the kind of world which perpetuates crime and creates criminals. The series is clear in its message - Intended or not, with or without a choice, once you find yourself entangled in a web of crime, there's rarely a happy or non-violent outcome... unless, of course, you're one of the rich people bankrolling it. The diverse perspective on morality was welcome and commendable; it puts us in the shoes of various characters, and kind of makes the whole journey thought-provoking. Was really intrigued by the connection of real-life instances relating to the 'The Pink Panthers' and the Bosnian War. And really glad that the rise of Eastern European shows and peoples' interest in them led to an international co-production of a trilingual crime thriller. The casting is brilliant; couldn't have asked for better one. Hope it marks the beginning of a new era of internationally co-produced multilingual shows.

calexicoca It seems that the producers, actors and directors could not figure out what this product has to be: thriller, crime drama, historical piece or anti-corruption statement. Well, it does not really matter because they failed in any of these attempts. Despite of production values being pretty high (locations along with cinematography are the only reason I gave this show 4), the story if full of holes without any coherent base for actions that characters take. They look and act like shallow stereotypes of some preconceived images about good guys who do bad things. Too bad because we really do not care about any of them. Editing does not help either because it is confusing.Very notion that a Bosnian Muslim ends up in Serbian para militia forces who did their fair share of war crimes is laughable. Same can be said for a EU peace keeping military officer having an affair and romantically picnicking with Muslim man and his children. Come on!?!

rabbitmoon The Last Panthers doesn't quite have the confidence to really deliver on its premise. Everything feels a little flat and unremarkable, particularly Sam Morton who's character feels like a tenth generation photocopy of Sofie Gråbøl's Sarah Lund from similarly toned "The Killing". Ultimately there's not enough emotional engagement with anything in the pilot - I didn't care about any of the characters enough to want the insurance team, the police or the thieves to win. It was more just a bit of intrigue as to how the logistics might play out. Considering the far superior shows out there, its hard to invest my time in a season when the pilot feels as flat as this.
