Ordinary Lies Series 1 Episode 4 Rick's Story - Shazad Latif Misc Screenshots

Before my Britbox trial expired, I was able to get the screenshots below of Shazad Latif as Rick in Ordinary Lies S1, E4.

My Mad Fat Diary, Ordinary Lies and Toast of London Pilot plus Our Girl

I must say that I am very glad I was able to watch all 3 seasons of My Mad Fat Diary ("MMFD") before it leaves Hulu today. Shazad Latif is Dr. Nick Kassar throughout Season/Series 1, who is given the rather accurate moniker of "Expert moistener of lady gardens" by the main character, Rae Earl. The Dr. Nick gifs below are from a reblog of a reblog on Tumblr. An unintended consequence of watching MMFD was becoming slightly obsessed with another gorgeous brit, Nico Mirallegro, who plays Finn Nelson. 

In other streaming adventures, I signed up for a 7-day Britbox trial so I was able to see the Toast of London Pilot "The Unspeakable Play" and watch Shazad Latif as Rick, a workshop mechanic, in Ordinary Lies, Season 1, Episodes 1-4. 

Aside from the gifs like the one above from Ginges be Cray I have not found too many gifs of Shazad Latif as Rick, so I will possibly make some in the future if I get around to it. Ordinary Lies was interesting enough to watch the Rick episodes, but I didn't care enough about any of the other characters to continue with the show after Rick makes his speedy exit at the end of Episode 4. 

As mentioned above, I find myself alternating between watching items from the filmographies of Shazad Latif and Nico Mirallegro. Before my Britbox trial runs out, I am trying to watch all of Season 4 of Our Girl because Nico plays the intelligent, charming nerd-stud character of Prof. 

watched Rogue Agent last night...

Overall a good movie, however for fans of Shazad Latif,you'll have to wait a little over an hour into the film before his character, DC Sonny Chandra appears...By the way, the two photos of Shazad Latif on the imdb page for Rogue Agent are not very flattering...

Shazad Latif Excerpts of Collider Magpie Interview

 

See the entire interview below:

3/18: post revised to include third clip about TV shows and gif of Shazad Latif running his hand through his hair (yes again! but a different time)

Shazad Latif SXSW Magpie interview video clips and a gif

So, I cut down the SXSW Magpie Premiere interview (see original below) into 2 short Shazad Latif focused bits. I also made a gif of him running his hand through his hair because, well, it was fun. Still waiting for AMC to announce when they are going to air Nautilus!!! 

More Magpie Premiere Photos of Shazad Latif

 All of these images are from the Just Jared Gallery for the Magpie premiere.

So I live nowhere near Austin, Texas so I have not yet seen Magpie, so I have no idea if I like it or not. Here are links to reviews from sources who have seen Magpie:

Collider

Variety

IndieWire

Hollywood Reporter

The Hollywood Reporter review is by far the most negative. The Collider, Variety and IndieWire reviews are more of a mixed bag, with the Collider review probably being the most positive. 

Just added 3/13 - Screen Daily

The Screen Daily review has positive feedback specifically for Latif. :)

Started watching the first season of Departure

 So on my quest to see as many films, TV shows etc on Shazad Latif's CV, I started watching Departure last night on Peacock. I have to say I didn't have a major fear of flying before, but now I suspect I may feel differently the next time I'm at an airport...Anyway, Shazad Latif plays "Ali Basra" the fiance of the lone survivor of Flight 716. Since Latif is only in the first six episodes, I haven't decided if I want to watch beyond the last episode of Season 1. My angry toddler is not happy with me right now, so I need to go...Before I do that though, if you're going to SXSW, Magpie starring Shazad Latif and Daisy Ridley will premiere on March 9th. 

Slightly obsessed with Shazad Latif

Ever since we started watching Star Trek Discovery a few months ago, I've become slightly obsessed with Shazad Latif. In addition to his work as Ash Tyler in Star Trek Discovery Seasons 1 and 2, I have watched all of Toast of London (except for the pilot because it's not on Roku) and Toast of Tinseltown. I have started a page in this blog specifically for Clem Fandango outfits. I have also watched a few films he has starred in: What's Love Got to Do With It? (2022), Falling for Figaro (2020) and Profile (2018). He was also great as Alfred Wincham/Wyncham in the TV mini-series The Pursuit of Love (2021).

I'm definitely looking forward to watching Nautilus whenever AMC+ decides to air it. Also, this week Magpie (2024) debuts at SXSW. Despite the fact that Latif (Star Trek) co-stars in Magpie with Daisy Ridley (Star Wars), this film is a noir thriller, not a sci-fi movie :(
