Jason Isaacs - Case Histories
I watched a new thriller series called Case Histories, starring Jason Isaacs as a private investigator Jackson Brodie (former solider and policeman).
Jason Isaacs achieves such a strength and depth to his performances. And captures imagination and heart, so I felt invested in the Jackson character: Haunted by a traumatic past experience, deeply empathetic spirit, daily struggles, and caring about his future.
There was a diverse and rich selection of female characters (personalities, motivations, life experiences, present situations . . . ) in the program.
The narrative style itself was concise and everything felt relevant: No wild tangents or blatant window-dressing, where as in a few programs you feel pretty convinced that if you dozed for twenty minutes you would still miss zilch. Lol.
Brought to screen from Kate Atkinson’s novels.
