Summer of Rockets (2019)

Waste of time; what on earth do the BBC see in him?

[31 May 2019]

I'll never watch another work by this man again - I tried to get in to his previous series but dived out after hardly a first episode...found his style to be stilted and complicated. However, the cast in Summer of Rockets is absolutely faultless and it is with this in mind that one is drawn in to a promising storyline of intrigue and espionage. The first four episodes are certainly engaging. The last two episodes descend in to a ridiculous conclusion that is confusing and a total let down. What on earth is this all about? Poliakoff must be an incredibly vain man. Certainly celebrated by the elite and given poetic license to spin a story that appears to have so much meaning....but leaves one empty - drivel. What a waste. An example of the times we live in.
