Mar 17, 2019The show is not a total failure, with 3 episodes u really could not get invested in the characters or the story.Some of the actors were solid while some left much to be desired.I guess that is how i would best summarize the show Good to look at but it leaves much to be desired in the story department.

The bulk of Gunpowder is a reasonably exciting costume drama combining history and suspense, with fine performances by Sherlock’s Mark Gatiss as the King’s vindictive secretary of state and Peter Mullan (Top of the Lake, Ozark) as Henry Garnet, a Jesuit priest sympathetic to Catesby’s efforts.
-
[Gunpowder] takes its precious time with weighty moments yet still skims the surface of things in a way that never fully engages nor illuminates its key characters.

The series is handsomely dressed, and Mr. Blakeson has the blunt ability to ratchet up tension that he showed in the 2009 film “The Disappearance of Alice Creed.” But Mr. Bennett’s script, while it delineates the issues, doesn’t make us care about the people involved.
