![]() ![]() My rating 5/10.He began his magic career in 1891. All in all the finished product was rather average and most definitely disappointing, the latter episode being the worst of the two. However "luckily" for me and my 64 million neighbours the show was aired on channel 4, a TV- channel known for airing interesting and provocative dramas. Now I'm not sure if this was planned from the start or a change made in production or maybe the original channel who produced it didn't want it, but I couldn't have picked a worst channel to air this on, surely history is something true and honestly, to be fair, barely any of this is actually true. Finally it has to be the airing of the show on the "History Channel". The second mistakes made, were the poorly written (and acted) dialogue and lack of attention to details which really shone through in the finished piece. The initial cover art and the poorly chosen cast were the first of many mistakes which lead to this mediocre expo. But from the first day it started to go down hill. This is why most of us were so shocked when we heard there was going to be a Houdini biopic, I mean it had to be done, one of the greatest figures of the late 19th/early 20th century was going to get his screen time. People see the topic of Houdini bashed about now and again, however what we know of Houdini's "real" life is so little it becomes a topic which struggles to live and dies sour. That being said, this show was nothing special. ![]() ![]() Not all of it is real, most of it is speculation and some of it is completely made up, however all of it is picked, to give the watcher the best experience possible. Now I want to say before I start that this show is actually a mixture of fiction and non-fiction. ![]()
