The Black Oil

Michael Shannon on the small screen again, plus a few other known faces. Four parter, hopefully pretty tight.

What a cast, and whatever about the three lads (Shannon, Offerman and MacFadyen) I absolutely love Betty Gilpin, fantastic actress

Performances are excellent (superb cast) and it looks great but felt like it could have benefited from a couple more episodes. Was a lot going on but was a bit too disjointed, especiallyin episodes 2 and 3. Final episode was very good though

Really enjoyed this show. All the performances were excellent but MacFadyen for me was the standout. He both unnerving, deranged and comical at the same time. I agree with the above that it could have done with a couple more episodes, which is a rare thing to say about a TV show these days. Four episodes was just a bit too short and as a result some of the characters felt a little under developed. But overall this one is well worth a watch.

It felt like an older type limited series where they would cover a lot of ground in a short amount of episodes.

I liked the way it was done, I'd rather something be more compressed that be drawn out.

Superb cast as you say and they really got the best out of them.
