Ridley Road (2021)
7/10
Riddled with nostalgia
14 October 2021
I enjoyed the first episode so much I bingewatched the remainder of the series on BBC iPlayer prior to TV transmission.

The first episode has plenty of nostalgia with music and the look from the 60s but, after that, it does rather concentrate on the story which also might reflect on what's happening in the UK today.

There are some well known faces and a great new one in Agnes O' Casey but do we need an Irish actress taking a role that many northern actresses might have been crying out for?

The Irish film foundation has helped fund it so perhaps this was part of the agreement. This will be a great platform for Agnes but it could have been a platform for one of our own actresses instead.

A great watch just the same.
