Just watched the first episode of The Detectives following the recommendations on here. Great if slightly disturbing watch.

 

Not sure I’d fancy my chances in a bout of fisticuffs with that Paris chap.
 

It’s fair to say that I’m not cut out for that world, whatever side of the law they’re on. 

 

8.5/10. 

Yeah same. The male coppers were shitting themselves. Even the female detective "Hi can you send someone big to stand outside the door please he's gonna kick off" 

[Anubis]

I watched that. I thought it remarkably naive that the female detective allowed that to go out on television.

 

Yes, you may be shitting it but you don't let them know it because now you'll take shit from others you arrest.

[Tj hooker]

Not a chance in hell I'd allow my face or name to appear in that programme,  far to much at stake .

[VladimirIlyich]

I imagine The Detectives to feature scenes like this

 

 

[Kepler-186]

Watched episode 3 of this today and it was fascinating. 

History, science, and storytelling. 
 

All available on YouTube. This is episode 1.

Is this the Canadian series?

No, it’s UK organised crime set in Manchester. Full name is The Detectives: Fighting Organised Crime.

[Chip Butty]

I was so hoping it was going to be the Jasper Carrott and Robert Powell, one.

I loved that , always surprised it nevers gets mentioned in 'top 100 comedies ' etc. 

 

My favourite was the episode where they had a joint horse rustling operation on Jersey , erroneously calling John Nettles Beaujolais throughout.

Yep, absolute classic comedy series as was, and my personal favourite, Operation Good Guys.

Another great British comedy and subsequent film, of which there haven't been many since.

Just watching the second one now. Fuck me Manchester looks rough. 

[Elite]

Looks like they only made two episodes. Fuck sake, I could watch that show every night for the rest of my life.

Says there’s 5 episodes on iPlayer but seeing nothing lined up for next week.

[Bjornebye]

Just watched the second one. Wouldn't mind seeing the two gangs thrown in against each other for a scrap. 

 

It's 8/10 but grimly because of the CCTV footage of the acts and the interviews. 

[Dr Nowt]

One of the women coppers on it this week sounds exactly like Hayley Cropper. Uncanny.

If you’re asking to be murdered, that’s the way to go about it.

Another anti-tranny 

[sir roger]

Strange that he didn't shoot the first guy as he came down the path , gave him the chance to run and then the poor lad in the car had no chance.

 

Seemed quite odd sentences , 3 not guilty , 3 with relatively short sentences ( less than 3 years ) , the guy with the phones got 8 years and then 36 years for the main guy. Wasn't sure he would get done as the evidence seemed pretty circumstantial.

More would have come out at the trials, I’m sure. They could easily have made a 3-4 episode series out of that one case I reckon, but the story from the coppers perspective had to be told in an hour. There have been much worse stories given extended series. 
 

Watching a cartoon on Netflix called Final Space. Only done two episodes but it’s made me laugh a few times so I’ll stick with it for a bit. 
 

New episode of Snowfall should be available tomorrow, right @Carvalho Diablo? Bloody half term means I won’t get to watch it until after 10pm.

What path? Were you watching the American suburban version? 

 

The big lad in the trackie top with the stripe was blatantly one who got out of the car and went into the house yet he got away. That was weird. 

 

Looks to me like the shooter looked out the window and saw the van pull up, saw one in the passenger seat so went for him not knowing the other lad was at the door. Thats why he chased him.

Yes,  my impression was the shooter coming out of the door was practically face to face with the guy who got out of the car but he ended up getting away.
