Just had a read up on it sounds depressing. I like to escape when watching tv shows something like BlackDoves does me.
I watched 3 episodes last night but didn’t really read up what it was about, in the first 5 minutes several armed police raided a plumber’s house…….honestly
This is brilliantly acted though. I will probably binge episodes 2+ on Monday night. It's number one on Netflix in 79 countries for a reason.

I’m not really a fan of Stephen Graham can he play a character that’s not got the weight of the world on his shoulders or screen life isn’t messed up?
Watch the first episode and take it from there like I'm doing. It's not all about Stephen Graham. Aside from the kid, personally I thought Ashley Walters was the star performance.

Sounds more like something you’d find on Pornhub.I watched 3 episodes last night but didn’t really read up what it was about, in the first 5 minutes several armed police raided a plumber’s house…….honestly
I did think the tax inspector was going to be following the police

I meant to watch one episode last night & watched the lot. It was really good. I'm going to ask the yoof about the emoji meanings as I had no idea & obviously I don't know if it's true. Certainly makes you think.

Yeah really isn't as great as everyone is making out? Mediocre at best

I feel bad for not ‘enjoying’ it anywhere near as much as I thought I would. Loved Boiling Point and had high hopes for this, but at the end, was left feeling fairly underwhelmed.

The third episode was one of the best episodes of TV I’ve ever seen.

If viewed as a TV show it's not mind blowing. However, thinking about the logistics behind it, the planning and the fact that every episode is one perfectly planned shot is pretty special. In the fourth episode they have a scene at the home, drive to a home deco store and then back home, all in one flawless shot. Without a single error. It's absolutely mind blowing.

The Damned United?
Yes correct.
I didn’t have a clue what the guard in the CCTV room was saying
