    Virdee viewers reveal why the new BBC drama made them ‘want to vomit’

    Virdee viewers reveal why the new BBC drama made them ‘want to vomit’

    Viewers of the new BBC drama Virdee all have the same complaint about the detective thriller series.

    The new series, about turf wars in the dark criminal underbelly of Bradford, premiered tonight on the broadcaster.

    The series follows detective Detective Harry Virdee (played by Staz Nair) as he takes charge of an investigation into the murder of a young drug dealer.

    His ethics are soon tested when he enlists the help of his drug kingpin brother-in-law to track down the killer, creating a web of deception.

    As fans tuned into the show, they struggled to adjust to the camera angles which many found to be ‘choppy’ and even ‘nauseating.’

    X user @PeanutLC86 wrote: ‘I still feel sick from the camera work it was so jumpy I could actually be sick! #virdee’

    @Mad87Dog agreed: ‘The camera 📸 work is shocking all over the place choppy! #virdee’

    @Lou__007 also found the visuals to be hard on their stomach, posting: ‘What’s with the dodgy camera angles on #Virdee it’s making me want to vomit…🤢’

    @see75 wrote: ‘Virdee lost me with the nauseating camera work. 😩😩😩’

    Despite some fans struggling with the visuals of the show, many found it to be an exciting watch overall.

    @johnmfitzp wrote: ‘Thoroughly enjoyed #Virdee on @BBCOne A tough & entertaining crime drama about a troubled Sikh cop. Set in Bradford. Brilliantly filmed, superbly acted & cracking storylines. Loved it.’

    @KingOfSunshine agreed: ‘That was brilliant. Loved everything about it and also, ABOUT TIME! Bravo all! #Virdee’

    @_camwba also loved it, writing: ‘Virdee. I am once again moved by a British detective drama, we’re just too good at them.’

    Many will recognise leading man Staz Nair from previous roles.

    While Virdee is Staz’s first major leading TV part, the rising star has also appeared in the likes of Game of Thrones and the Zack Snyder film Rebel Moon.

    Some may even recognise him from his stint on The X Factor over a decade ago.

    In 2012, he tried to make music his career with the boy group Times Red on The X Factor.

    For their audition, they performed an acoustic version of Amy Winehouse’s Rehab in front of Tulisa, Gary Barlow, Geri Halliwell, and Louis Walsh.

    Times Red made it through to the judges’ houses round but Louis ultimately did not pick them to progress to the live shows.

    The year after The X Factor, the band released their first single Just No Good for Me.

    So while Nair may be used to the spotlight, helming a major BBC drama is a relatively new adventure for him.

    The actor told The Telegraph of the new show: ‘There’s no hiding place. Like a lot of actors, a lot of people, I suffer from imposter syndrome: this idea that I’m going to get found out or not be good enough. It’s up to me to try and pull it off.’

    Virdee is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
