ozfroggirlDAY 17: Favorite mini series
If it hasn't become apparent already I love a good musical, and Blackpool is exactly that. Blackpool is centred around Ripley Holden, a local businessman, who has great plans to turn his little games arcade into a flashy casino hotel. With a troubled young son, rebellious daughter and a neglected wife, Ripley's life starts to spiral out of control when the body of young man is found dumped in his arcade. Detective Peter Carlisle, sent to investigate the case, only makes matters worse when he falls for Ripley's wife and basically makes Ripley's life a living hell. The highlight of the series is the way it uses extremely entertaining song and dance numbers to great effect to illustrate exactly how the characters are feeling and what they're going through. Blackpool is the greatest drama-thriller-musical you're ever likely to see. This is the type of show I wished Glee could be. Also it's the best place to see David Tennant singing and dancing and putting things in his mouth.
