Several actors also starred the Shadow Line[edit]

It's not only Stephen Rea and Eve Best who Hugo Blick now "re-uses". The bald man, an American customer who recognized "Peter Glickman" (Antony Sher) in the Irish antique clock-shop appeared here as a taxi driver, who turned out to be a killer who got killed himself - are the same actor. And the body guard who got shot in second episode acted as a journalist in The Shadow Line (TV series). All who has watched both series also ought to recognize Hugo Blick's rather special style. Boeing720 (talk) 08:21, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really notable though? It is quite common for writers/directors to work with the same actors on multiple projects. Unless it can be cited from a reliable source that indicates the use of the same actors is notable, it should be removed as it's merely a viewer observation. A more proper way of introducing this information (if it exists), is maybe these actors were specifically cast for this project because of their work on the previous series. Just a thought. Drovethrughosts (talk) 12:35, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, the taxi driver who gets shot in the end of the second episode had a similar small role in the beginning of the fifth episode of The Shadow Line and his name is still unknown to me. (Both came from Montana, by the way). Plus the major actors Eve Best isn't what she appears to be in The Shadow Line either. Stephen Rea has a rather different role in this series, but the overall apperance remain. Also Tobias Menzies has the same basic characteristics, persistent and a bit saucy. The entires series, although they have very different plots, are made in a typical "Hugo Blick style". One needs of cource to have watched both series, in order to understand this. To have used more actors in both series had been a bit too obvious, but I think Blick keep himself fully within limits. Boeing720 (talk) 22:58, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Variant number of episodes and order of events?[edit]

I just watched this on HBO Max (which it’s about to leave), and there are 9 episodes, not 8. Also, The first few episode descriptions contain events that happen in later episodes (probably true of the rest, too, but I watched the remaining episodes in a bit of a rush and haven’t read the descriptions). I don’t have time now to check if there’s some strange variance or if the article is just wrong, so I’m leaving this note in case I don’t get back to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colintedford (talk • contribs) 04:05, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Episodes 7 and 8 as listed here were 8 and 9 as I watched them. Episode 7 is “The Sibling Split”. Colintedford (talk) 04:10, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I just checked some of the sources on the article. BBC, IMDB, and at least 1 DVD listed on Amazon have it as 8 episodes, as does the version you can buy on Apple TV. HBO must have had some variant cut. I’ve changed this talk section’s headline from “Wrong” to “Variant” and added a question mark. Would be nice to have something about this in the article. I wish I hadn’t waited until the show’s last days on HBO Max to watch it, because now I can’t access the version I watched, but hopefully it’ll return. Colintedford (talk) 04:26, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Found a few links showing the existence of the 9-episode version with “The Sibling Split” (made some time because it was nagging at me):

I’m very curious about the story behind this! Colintedford (talk) 04:40, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, the original 8-episode version has 58–60-minute episodes, while the 9-episode version has 48–52 minutes episodes. So, with the shorter version episodes, an "extra" episode exists. It's possible they needed a version with shorter episode lengths for certain broadcast markets, but beyond that I'm not sure. It's still very interesting to see how the versions would differ. I just remember seeing the 8-episode version. Drovethrughosts (talk) 12:22, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
