Dennis ‘Des’ Nilsen is Far From David Tennant’s First Psychopath Role

https://ift.tt/2RNJXa5

David Tennant’s transformation into serial killer Dennis Nilsen for ITV’s Des was unsettlingly convincing. It wasn’t just the physical resemblance, though under that hairstyle and behind those 1980s glasses frames, the similarity was remarkable. It was also the posture, the unwavering eye contact, and the voice; mumbling and unconcerned, listing the terrible details of Nilsen’s crimes as if reciting a recipe instead of multiple brutal murders.

As Nilsen, Tennant pulled off what every actor hopes to in a real-life role – a disappearing trick. He slid clean inside the role, leaving no trace of The Doctor, or Simon from There She Goes, or the demon Crowley, or Alec Hardy, or his funny, self-deprecating public persona. For those three hours on screen, he was nothing but Nilsen.

The role is one in a long line of on-screen psychopaths for Tennant. He might be best loved around these parts as excitable, convivial romantic hero the Tenth Doctor (who, as noted below, also had his villainous moments), but David Tennant has been playing bad guys for decades, starting with a 1995 episode of ITV police procedural The Bill…

Steven Clemens in The Bill, ‘Deadline’ (1995)

In his early 20s, David Tennant went through a rite of passage for the UK acting profession: he landed a part in The Bill. And not just any old part on The Bill, this one was a peach. Tennant wasn’t cast as some kid DC Carver caught snatching a granny’s handbag – he played psychopathic kidnapper and murderer Steven Clemens.

When 15-year-old schoolgirl Lucy Dean (an early role for Honeysuckle Weeks) was abducted after receiving threatening phone calls, the caretaker from her school was brought in for questioning. What followed was a high-stakes game of Blink between Tennant’s character and Sun Hill Station’s finest. Clemens toyed with the police, first denying responsibility and then refusing to tell them where he’d stashed Lucy. It’s a big performance, as suits the soap-like context, but even then Tennant made a good villain, revelling in his evildoing. Clemens came a cropper eventually when Lucy was found alive and the investigation linked him to the kidnap and murder of another schoolgirl. Watch the whole episode here.

Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Skipping forward a decade, Tennant’s most mainstream cinematic baddie to date is Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr. in the fourth Harry Potter film. Crouch Jr. was the Voldemort supporter who engineered Harry’s entry into the Triwizard Tournament, and turned the winning trophy into a portkey that delivered Potter straight into Voldemort’s waiting arms (well, Voldemort was sort of soup at that point, but bit of magic and voila – arms!).

Crouch Jr. did all this while magically disguised as Brendan Gleeson’s character Mad-Eye Moody, so Tennant’s actual screen time in the film is pretty limited. In his few short appearances though – in a flashback to his Ministry of Magic trial and after his disguise is rumbled – Tennant makes a real impression as the unhinged, tongue-flicking baddie.

The Time Lord Victorious in Doctor Who ‘Waters of Mars’ (2009)

The majority of the time, the Tenth Doctor was a sweetie – big grin, lots of enthusiasm, two hearts full of frivolity and love. Every so often though, Ten’s genocidal, survivor-guilt past rose to the surface. Never cruel, never cowardly, no, but sometimes a bit… murdery and drunk on power.

One such occasion was his brutal extermination of the Racnoss children in Christmas special ‘The Runaway Bride’, and another was his Time Lord Victorious trip at the end of ‘Waters of Mars’. In the special, Ten changes the events of a fixed point in time to save the lives of Captain Adelaide Brooke (Lindsay Duncan) and her surviving crew, bringing them back to Earth in the TARDIS instead of leaving them to die. Realising the serious ramifications of his timeline meddling, Brooke confronts the Doctor about his arrogance, and puts the mistake right. It doesn’t take Ten long to come back to his senses, drop the god act, and realise he’s gone too far, and it’s David Tennant’s ability to convincingly play both the power-crazed god and the devastated man that makes him one of the best in the business.

Kilgrave in Jessica Jones (2015)

David Tennant played a bonafide demon from actual hell in Good Omens, the TV adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s 1990 novel, but Crowley still had nothing on his Jessica Jones character.

The first series of Marvel’s Jessica Jones on Netflix won acclaim for its depiction of a coercive, abusive relationship through a comic book fantasy lens. David Tennant was Kilgrave, a villain with the power of mind control following experiments conducted during his childhood. Instead of using his power for good (convincing people to pick up litter, be kind to animals, etc.), Kilgrave exerted his will on the world at large, bending those around him to his sick desires. When he stumbled upon super-powered private investigator Jones, he didn’t stop at using her super-strength for his own ends. Kilgrave also used his powers to keep Jones hostage and manipulate her into coerced sex. Jones’ battle to escape Kilgrave was powerfully acted by Krysten Ritter and David Tennant, who had the range to show Kilgrave’s ‘charm’ as well as his chilling megalomania.

Doctor Who: David Tennant reflects on his final line

Cale Erendreich in Bad Samaritan (2018)

Director Dean Devlin followed up weather-disaster flick Geostorm with Bad Samaritan, a dark psychological thriller about a small-time crook who gets into the bad books of a wealthy sicko when he stumbles upon his dark secrets while burgling his house. Misfits’ Robert Sheehan plays the burglar, and David Tennant plays the loaded psycho whose obsession with technology earned him the nickname ‘Evil Bruce Wayne’. Cale Erendreich is a Patrick Bateman-like moneybags psycho with a sick taste in torture. Overall, the film itself isn’t a huge amount of cop, but boy, does Tennant commit.

Dr Edgar Fallon in Criminal ‘Edgar’ (2019)

Netflix’s multi-lingual European series Criminal takes the best bit of Line of Duty – the police interview scenes – and strips away everything else. Every episode has a new case, a new interviewee, a new lead actor, and a team of cops trying to break them within a limited time frame.

Kicking it all off with the first UK episode of series one (a second run is available to stream now) was David Tennant as Dr Edgar Fallon. You’ll have to watch the 42-minute episode to know whether or not Fallon is guilty of the crime about which he’s being interviewed (the rape and murder of his 14-year-old step-daughter), but Tennant is chilling and magnetic enough as the well-spoken English doctor to keep you guessing.

Dr Tom Kendrick in Deadwater Fell (2020)

When a tragedy occurs in a Scottish village, suspicion falls on those closest to the victims. David Tennant plays local GP Tom in Channel 4 drama Deadwater Fell, a four-part series available to stream on All 4, about how a small community responds to a terrible event. Is Tom really the perfect family man he appears to be, or is there something else under the surface? Without giving anything away in terms of plot, Tennant moves fluently between the roles of victim and villain in the audience’s mind as this empathetic, clever miniseries twists and turns.

Dennis Nilsen in Des (2020)

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

This starring role is the culmination of years spent clocking up experience on how to unsettle on screen. As real-life Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen, David Tennant is chillingly perfect. It’s both an on-point impersonation and a disquieting performance that conjures up this peculiarly banal killer. Tennant is ably aided by co-stars Daniel Mays and Jason Watkins as, respectively, Nilsen’s arresting officer DCI Peter Jay and biographer Brian Masters. It’s a triangle of excellent actors at their best, making for a compelling three-parter.

Netflix’s Criminal United Kingdom: episode one opinions

Opening thoughts

Netflix released almost 400 originals last year alone and, when you become a media giant like that, It’s fair to expect that you’ll churn out your fair share of poorly written fill-in-the-blanks movies and TV shows but every now and then out of the two hundred and something clones something really interesting will come out of the woodwork. Stranger Things, The Irishman, The Haunting of Hill House, Mind Hunter, Black Mirror and Uncut Gems ,to name but a few, have shown Netflix’s potential to provide beautiful opportunities to creatives, big or small; and so when something like Criminal United Kingdom comes out of the proverbial woodwork I’m obviously dubious as to whether it’ll be something interesting and inventive or a generic crime drama with the momentary allure of 45 minutes of David Tennant’s dreamy bearded face.

My review

Yesterday, I watched the first episode of Criminal United Kingdom on Netflix and was blow away how unexpectedly clever and intuitive it was. Criminal is set entirely inside a police interview room and, with no flashbacks, hallucinations or dream sequences pushing the narrative forward, tells you the story within the confines of it’s setting. Dr Edgar Fallon (David Tennant) is accused of murdering his 14 year old step daughter and leaving her in a forest after returning from one of her Netball games without her and, after making no comment for the last 23 hours of interrogation, three interrogators have to get him to speak before time runs out.

The episode moves slowly initially as Dr Fallon refuses to comment, not to say every minute leading up to his first comment isn’t thoroughly engaging. I found myself sat in the room with the interrogators, trying to piece together the story and understand the real nature of what had happened. By the halfway mark, the pace picks up and the heat goes up as time really starts running out for the police.

The episode captures both the suspect and the detectives at some really nice angles. I’m new to talking about camera angles and shots so here goes: there were a lot points in the episode where the camera pointed up from the end of the table towards the people in the room, as if they were trying to show the audience that both parties are wearing masks, trying to win over the other and as the viewer you’re trying to look under the masks from this lower angle. However, the angle changes often, around the room and behind the two way mirror to create a sense of tension and franticness whilst also showing all the stressed communication at play in all sides of the room.

Criminal provides a more then satisfying conclusion to a thoroughly engaging story, pulling together every bit of evidence laid across the table into one gratifying finished story all without taking you outside of the room (apart from a few small moments).

Final comments

In conclusion, I was drawn in by David ‘Doctor Who’ Tennant and tied down by the really impressive performances from the entire cast. I’ve only seen this first episode but I thought, coming from a place of wanting to watch something new, that it would be worth commenting on the first episode because maybe someone else is looking for something new to become interested in. I would recommend Criminal United Kingdom to anyone looking for a story to pay attention to and be engaged with. I wouldn’t recommend this as background watching but, then again, I wouldn’t do that with many things. I will continue watching Criminal United Kingdom and I hope you do to.

Not sure about Criminals mainly because I found the whole setting is slightly tricky (if not irritating in my post thought). Once DT’s character Dr Edgar Fallon said what the inspecter looking for is stories. And so is him. And so is the playwright in a metafictional level. I think this is pretty ironic, and this is what the series should continue to work with, to figure out in such senario of interrogation~ how to guarantee the liability of truth.

And here is what I do not like it very much: in the episode 1 the cause of crime, the background story is fragmental, or not mentioned at all. “No comment” makes most things way to obscure. I expected the police to fill out the blank but they didn’t. I’m probably too old-fashioned but I really want to have an answer on why Fallon would cross the moral bottom line, etc.

So the conclusion is, I will wait and see what others think and maybe try one or two episode later when I have nothing to do. At the moment I think I didn’t enjoy the series as much as I expected.

OK and here is some emotional shit. You know DT’s gotta good-looking face and innocent brown puppy eyes right? So half way until around the last 10 minutes I felt like being stretched by both sides... The plot is tense for sure. Plus when you engage in the story and find a person who looks like guilty, then innocent, then guilty, is tired haha.

Upfronts 2019 (FOX): Nuevas series, renovaciones y cancelaciones

Tras la compra de 20th Century Fox por parte de Disney, la cadena se comprometía a encargarle la mitad de sus nuevos proyectos. Pero nos ha sorprendido con la considerable cantidad de ocho encargos, cuatro de ellos de su antigua mejor amiga y todos producidos también por la nueva FOX Entertainment. Nos ha costado saber cómo serán capaces de encajar todo en la parrilla incluso conociendo las cancelaciones, todo esto sin contar con un aftershow muy original y el pseudorevival de Sensación de vivir que se emitirán este verano.

Deputy (MIDSEASON)

Cuando muere el sheriff del condado de Los Ángeles, una vieja regla aprobada en el salvaje Oeste convierte en su sucesor al hombre menos indicado: Bill Hollister (Stephen Dorff; True Detective, Star), un abogado de quinta generación que se encuentra más cómodo acabando con los criminales que manejando temas políticos. Lidera un equipo de personas ambiciosas y complicadas que no descansarán hasta impartir justicia. Con Yara Martinez (Jane the Virgin, True Detective), Brian Van Holt (Cougar Town, The Bridge), Siena Goines (Andi Mack, Jericho), Bex Taylor-Klaus (Arrow, The Killing), Shane Paul McGhie (Sacred Lies, After) y Mark Moses (Desperate Housewives, Mad Men). Escrita y producida por Will Beall (Aquaman, Training Day). El piloto fue dirigido por David Ayer (Training Day).

youtube

Prodigal Son

Malcolm Bright (Tom Payne, The Walking Dead) es el mejor psicólogo criminal porque sabe cómo piensan los asesinos; su padre (Michael Sheen; Masters of Sex, Good Omens) fue uno de los mejores, un asesino en serie conocido como "el cirujano". Malcolm ayuda a la policía de Nueva York a resolver crímenes mientras lidia con unas neurosis constantes, una madre manipuladora (Bellamy Young, Scandal), una hermana demasiado normal y un padre homicida que aún busca conectar con él. Completan el reparto Lou Diamond Phillips (Longmire), Halston Sage (The Orville, Crisis), Aurora Perrineau (Chasing Life, Into the Dark), Frank Harts (Billions, The Leftovers) y Keiko Agena (Gilmore Girls, 13 Reasons Why). Escrita y producida por Chris Fedak (Chuck, Legends of Tomorrow) y Sam Sklaver (Blunt Talk, Deception). Lee Toland Krieger (Riverdale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) dirigió el piloto. Producida por Greg Berlanti (Arrow, You).

youtube

NeXt (MIDSEASON)

Un pionero de Silicon Valley (John Slattery; Mad Men, Desperate Housewives) descubre que una de sus creaciones, una inteligencia artificial muy poderosa, podría causar una catástrofe global, y se alía con una agente de crímenes cibernéticos (Fernanda Andrade; Here and Now, The First) para luchar contra un villano que no se parece a nada que hayan visto antes. Participan también Michael Mosley (Ozark, Seven Seconds), Jason Butler Harner (Ozark, Ray Donovan), Eve Harlow (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Heroes Reborn), Aaron Moten (Disjointed, Mozart in the Jungle), Gerardo Celasco (How to Get Away with Murder, The Haves and the Have Nots), Elizabeth Cappuccino (Jessica Jones) y Evan Whitten (Mr. Robot, The Resident). Escrita y producida por Manny Coto (24, Dexter). El piloto está dirigido por John Requa (This Is Us, I Love You Phillip Morris) y Glenn Ficarra (This Is Us, I Love You Phillip Morris).

youtube

Outmatched (MIDSEASON)

Cay (Maggie Lawson; Psych, Santa Clarita Diet) y Mike (Jason Biggs; American Pie, Orange Is the New Black), un matrimonio de clase obrera y sin estudios del sur de Jersey, tratan de arreglárselas para criar a cuatro hijos, tres de los cuales resulta que son genios: Brian (Connor Kalopsis, The Grinder), un condescendiente y pretencioso fenómeno de las matemáticas que cree que sabe más del mundo que sus padres; Nicole (Ashley Boettcher, Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street), una prodigio del lenguaje falsa y manipuladora que consigue todo lo que quiere; y Marc (Jack Stanton, The Mick), un sabio introvertido que quiere ser el próximo Beethoven. Solamente una hija no es un genio, y esa es Leila (Oakley Bull; Thanksgiving, Beautiful Boy), la única a la que sus padres pueden entender aunque sea remotamente. Les acompaña Tisha Campbell-Martin (Empire, Dr. Ken). Escrita y producida por Lon Zimmet (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, I'm Sorry). Jonathan Judge (School of Rock, Life in Pieces) dirige el piloto.

Duncanville (MIDSEASON)

Comedia de animación escrita por Mike y Julie Scully (The Simpsons, The Carmichael Show) y producida por Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation, Broad City) sobre la familia y amigos de Duncan, un chico normal de quince años con una gran imaginación. Con las voces de Poehler, Rashida Jones, Wiz Khalifa, Ty Burrell, Riki Lindhome, Betsy Sodaro y Yassir Lester.

The Great North (MIDSEASON)

Comedia de animación centrada en las aventuras en Alaska de la familia Tobin. Beef es un padre soltero que hace lo que puede para mantener cerca a sus hijos, especialmente desde que los sueños artísticos de su única hija, Judy, la dirigen lejos del barco pesquero familiar y el centro comercial del pueblo. Con las voces de Nick Offerman, Jenny Slate, Megan Mullally, Paul Rust, Aparna Nancherla, Will Forte y Dulcé Sloan. Escrita por Wendy Molyneux (Bob's Burgers, The Megan Mullally Show), Lizzie Molyneux (Bob's Burgers) y Minty Lewis (Regular Show).

Lone Star (MIDSEASON)

Spin-off de 9-1-1 ambientado en Texas y protagonizado por un sofisticado policía de Nueva York (Rob Lowe; Parks and Recreation, Brothers & Sisters) que se muda con su hijo a Austin, donde tendrá que compaginar su trabajo con su vida personal. Producida por Lowe, Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk y Tom Minear. Es curioso porque ITV encargó en octubre seis episodios de Will Bill, una serie con el mismo argumento y el mismo protagonista.

What Just Happened??! (VERANO 2019)

Creado, producido y presentado por Fred Savage (The Wonder Years, Friends from College), es un aftershow -talk show emitido después de una serie para comentar el episodio- de The Flare, thriller de ciencia ficción dirigido por Jon Cassar (24, The Orville) y adaptación de las novelas de TJ Whitford, de las que Savage es fan, en las que un acontecimiento relacionado con el Sol provoca efectos en la Tierra, y más concretamente en el pueblo obrero de Milford, Illinois, y poco a poco desemboca en una batalla postapocalíptica por la supervivencia humana. El programa contendrá entrevistas a actores, visitas al set y discusiones con fans y estará dirigido por Carrie Havel (Talking Dead). La primera temporada tendrá nueve episodios. Quizás cabría comentar que ni los libros ni la serie existen y que el guion estará escrito por Abbey McBride (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Alone Together), Edgar Momplaisir (Great News), Chase Mitchell (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), Agathe Panaretos (Chelsea) y Sean O'Connor (The Late Late Show With James Corden).

Agenda semanal

The Resident y Empire se mudan al martes para ver si revitalizan la noche, y dejan hueco para dos de los tres estrenos que FOX nos presentará en septiembre. Last Man Standing no podrá verse los viernes por culpa de SmackDown, así que irá los jueves emparejada con Outmatched y Filthy Rich cuando acabe la temporada de fútbol. Al parecer, la cadena quería estrenar el culebrón de Kim Cattrall en septiembre, pero la agenda de Tate Taylor no lo permitía. Por último, los habituales de comedia de animación dan la bienvenida al domingo a Bless the Harts.
