A superb police drama, already described in the US as the best show on TV
A fast paced, addictive thrill
I ordered this series on DVD when the Sopranos finished and I was feeling quite bereft. Someone said if you like Sopranos, you'll love this so I had high hopes but never got past the first disc. A bit of humour would have livened it up but I just found it tedious.
This is so good, you don't get spoon fed as with pretty much every other drama on TV and because of that it's really worth it. Because we are so unused to being treated like adults a lot of people I know found episode 1 & 2 hard work but once you've got your head around it you'll be sucked in. I can't get enough of it. I went straight out and bought season 2 and 3 cos I can't face the wait.
From the director of This Is England comes the low-budget, indie, mockumentary, Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee. Seen through the eyes of director Shane Meadows and his cast and crew, this hilarious comedy caper charts the success of wannabe music mogul, Le Donk and his side-kick rapper Scor-zay-zee. We sat down with actor Paddy Considine (Le Donk), rapper Scor-zay-zee and Shane Meadows to talk characters, comedy and the Arctic Monkeys.
