It is brilliant. Some of the best TV I’ve seen for ages.

Quite a lot of nudity & violence. I made the mistake of watching it on the train, only to be prompted for tickets by the conductor at the first (of many) “full frontal” moments. Quite embarrassing.

Yup,looking forward to it.

Watched the whole thing the other week and am really on the fence about it. While it was certainly created with an amazing eye to detail, some of the story lines, and there are many, just seemed tertiary and thrown in just so someone somewhere could use the descriptions ‘multi-layered’ and ‘novel-like’.

Saying that it is being showered with awards state-side and imagine it will do fairly well over here…..oh, and Steve Buscemi is in it and that is worth the admission price alone.

The one thing the programme does show is that HBO are currently being bested by both FX and AMC in who is currently producing the best TV drama in the states.

It’s very good though there’s not a great story arc to the first series and it ends a bit too neatly. I suspect they didn’t know they were getting a second series, though I don’t think that would really be in doubt, hence the fairly concise wrap up at the series finale.

Stephen Graham is the best thing in it, though Michael Shannon nearly steals the show.
