I do not want to spoil the pure glory of Tom Hardy's performance in this program so I will hesitate to give too much away in this short review. Hardy plays the part of Freddie, the most evil anti-hero any of us could ever love. His monstrosity and love for all things illegal leave us wanting more from Hardy as he plays Freddie to a tee. With both physical and mental love at his side, Freddie goes about rebuilding his life after a trip inside; and he does so, with a vengeance against those who have treated his family in a bad way whilst he has been in prison. I hesitate to write another sentence about 'The Take' as I think I could carry on forever, but would surely end up writing the whole script!

Do yourself a favour, watch the 3 episodes available at the moment, then await the fourth and final episode. Sure to be a beautiful triumph from the director David Drury. Enjoy.
