STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Good Performance
THE BIRDICT
🧡 I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but this one doesn’t match the genre. It implies a domestic/psychological thriller. I thought it was about a serial killer and this is more gangland police procedural. So this isn’t my usual genre but good enough that I finished it.
💚 The story centres on Brendan Foley, a policeman trying to separate himself from his father’s criminal past. It’s more hit you on the head (literally sometimes) rather than nuanced, but that’s an observation, not a criticism.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
🎧 Perfect casting. Warren Brown has that gruff, tough man voice which suited Foley. Not so much Iona. A second, female narrator would have helped.
