The power of parker is terrible its not funny i am surprised that thus is being shown on prime time television.
The Power of Parker is set over a few days in 1990, about the implosion of businessman Martin Parker's carefully built, nicely managed and altogether very pleasant life. He (played by Conleth Hill) is a respected member of the community who runs his late father's successful electrical superstore. He has been married to Diane (Rosie Cavaliero) for 25 years, has a son and a daughter who are no trouble and they all live in a large, immaculate new-build with a pillared porch in a nayce part of town.
The only downside - apart from his decidedly unnayce father-in-law Dougie (George Costigan on fine, if unhygienic, form) - is that the business was more successful when his father was running it and Martin is in hock to local villains, the Slater brothers, for an amount that keeps getting further and further out of his reach. So it unfortunately becomes time to end things with Kath (Sian Gibson, also the series' co-writer, with Paul Coleman), his mistress of 25 years, to avoid paying her rent on the flat above the abandoned butcher's shop in which he had generously installed her when times were good.
Storyline sounds promising but the script is terrible and tries to hard to be funny, it is confusing in parts don't know if it will improve as it goes on as i was so bored and unimpressed with it i definitely won't be watching the rest of the series.
