Honestly, this sounds ridiculous but in the best way possible. With that cast - Emma Thompson, Patrick Stewart, Bryan Cranston - it's going to be hilarious. The sheep becoming detectives is such a unique twist. My kids are going to love this! 😄
Wait, the screenplay is by Craig Mazin? The same guy who did Chernobyl? Talk about range! From nuclear disaster to sheep detectives - what a career move. Definitely giving this a watch. Prime subscribers are lucky.
I love the idea but I hope they don't make it too kiddish. The book "Three Bags Full" was actually pretty clever and had some dark humor. With this stellar cast, it could be a real treat. Just wish they'd release it in Indian theatres too! 🇮🇳
Finally something different from the usual action and superhero stuff. Hugh Jackman doing comedy with sheep? Sign me up! The cast is insane - Nicholas Braun from Succession, Bella Ramsey from Last of Us, Regina Hall. This is going to be a wild ride! 🎬
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical when I first heard "sheep detectives" but that cast is no joke. Emma Thompson AND Julia Louis-Dreyfus together? Plus Patrick Stewart? The comedy pedigree alone is worth it. Prime Video is killing it with their originals lately.
