This is a drama that stays with you, and — if there is any justice in the world — there should be some recognition for Glenister come awards season.
-
Well paced, beautifully acted and aesthetically distinctive, moments of overzealous exposition were easy to forgive. In Tony, the drama offered a richly compelling protagonist – neither straightforwardly sympathetic nor vilified, yet entirely recognisable.
-
The villains are verging on cartoon baddies. You never quite believe in the swimming pool where Tony completes his laps without ever seeing another soul. But it’s grounded in Glenister’s performance, which digs right into the pain of a sixtysomething man who feels that, as an older white man, society no longer wants him.
