If you haven't already, please watch him in Misfits, he is phenomenal. It's a very British dark comedic twist on the super powers gifted to societal low lives on unpaid work as punishment for various minor misdemeanors. I won't spoil any of the MANY twists and silliness' here for those who have not yet seen it, but Iwan gets to play an exceptional individual and you see his character change and develop before your eyes, amazing. So very worth watching. You will not regret it as a binge watch, slow to develop but layers upon layers built into very British twisted humour. Enjoy!

@@mary4wild235 Great idea! You will not be disappointed. It's full of super odd dark humour, twisted themes, in jokes that repeat and reoccur, and (my favourite part) you will want to immediately re-watch it after your first watch because of the long story running deep beneath the surface and all the bits that'll make sense on second/third watching. Some of the little insider jokes and silly catchphrases I've heard used elsewhere or seen on a badge on a backpack (I'll just say "Monkey-Sluts!" for now, so as not to spoil anything) of a fan of the show and started smiling and giggling quietly to myself that someone else still loves that series or has started some great conversations in pubs... And yes, I am going to start re-watching it again this weekend now I've been talking about it! Enjoy... 😁

Those who are about to die is actually great. Thought it might be a bit of a Gladiator rip off or jumping on the old Rome and GoT bandwaggon but it is genuinely its own thing. The effects are not great, i will say that and some of the writing is convoluted but couldn't fault the acting or world building. Iwan is the 'main' character in a massive ensamble and holds it all together very well. Glad to see him carrying shows like this. We knew he had it in him, right back to Misfits. Hope to see another series.
@Katie-j8w
Ай бұрын
It’s not a rip off of anything. I really hate when people claim that as some kind of description of it, just because it maybe reminded you of other time period set stories. This series not only shows corruption and deceit, and ambitious, power hungry characters, but it depicts a different side of Rome, the kind of dirty, gritty world underneath the wealth and power. Almost like the criminal underworld of it. It’s just its own story set in Ancient Rome, and happens to have gladiators and the games as a part of it. You can find similarities in themes, or movies, or shows set in the same time period all the time, but not enough talk about all the ways they’re different. It’s not trying to be Game of Thrones or the movie Gladiator. A large part of why people make comparisons to GoT is also because Iwan Rheon also played Ramsay Bolton. Yet even Tenax who he’s playing has big differences.

I've been in a bit of a depressive slump where I stopped listening to music for a long time so it was wonderful to feel joy again on hearing some of Iwan's stuff. It sounds like the guy has got a musical range as broad as his acting. I like that. I've started listening to the Super Furries again. Not sure if Iwan is inspired by some of their stuff or if it's him singing in his native accent that reminds me of them.

If anyone needed further clarification that it was referring to a tv show, they’re as much of an idiot as all the people who can’t separate actor from character. By the way, Iwan Rheon has frequently talked about how awful and uncomfortable that whole wedding storyline was, and how he really didn’t want to play him in those moments of Ramsay’s abuse and cruelty. Also he does actually say “I don’t think I’ve ever even played anyone married, oh no I did, but it was horrible.”

@@DodderingOldMan and the thing I’m saying is underselling it, or I guess understating it I should say rather, is the line saying it was disappointing, or it’s just ok. No, I actually do disagree there. I have mostly seen people loving and laughing at Vicious, unless they get offended at dark humor, and satire, and stuff. I mean the creator of it I think did Family Guy also. It may not have been the biggest show in comparison to something like Game of Thrones, and the banter and humor again may not be for everyone, but still had to be pretty good and funny to appeal to and attract names like Sir Ian McKellen, and Sir Derek Jacobi, and Frances de la Tour. I think you probably do have to have a darker or dirty sense of humor for it too. Again, there’s something I like about it being an underrated sitcom about a gay elderly British couple who just constantly bicker and make fun of each other, but love each other too. Then the completely wild, inappropriate friend, and the happy, lovable neighbor.
