Review of Then You Run

Then You Run: Tara O'Rourke has been raised by her grandmother after her mother's death when she was a baby. Now after her Gran dies 17 year old Tara goes to join her Dad in the Netherlands. He's a music producer who also deals in drugs along with his brother. Things start to go wrong after three of Tara's friends join her for a holiday. They flee with a large consignment of drugs, pursued by Tara's unckl, other gangsters and the police. This chase series is a very dark comedy/thriller with murder and mayhem occurring from the very start. To complicate things Tara also has reason to believe her mother is still alive. Much on the action depends on happenstance/serendipity, the teens are resigned to it. There are quite a few plot twists. A parallel narrative involves a serial killer who operates on an industrial scale. When will these threads knot together? Disturbing yet funny and engaging. Episodes Directed by Robert McKillop, Delyth Thomas, Paul Walker, based on the novel You (2014) by Zoran Drvenkar, adapted by Ben Chanan. On Sky Max. 8/10.
