Just finished season 4 (all two episodes of it!)

 

I recognise its weaknesses but overall I really like it. Looking forward to the next season.

 

Idris Elba is so good in it. That scene where he twatted the lads on the bike with a bin, funny as fuck.

It’s meant to be over the top and unrealistic, just like Sherlock, Line of duty or any other number of programmes. It’s the modern day equivalent of pulp magazines.

 

What’s not to like about it? Good cast, usually got some very good villains in it, and it’s good fast moving fare you can watch with a few beers. It’s a solid 7.5/10 show, for me.

I can see why you thought that about Hannibal. I just can't see why people think Luther is good, apart from he wears a nice coat.

Yeah I thought Hannibal was shite, way too arty, for some reason it was one of those programmes I stuck with for reasons I can’t quite fathom as it bored me to tears.

Seems a little underwhelming so far. 

Seen the first 2 episodes of this season, I think its been decent so far. Gruesome like and I fucking shit myself when that fella appeared on the roof of the bus with that lit-up hood.

Read some reviews on BBC and some people were complaining about it being too gratuitous and even called it torture porn, obviously little snowflakes who don't venture off terrestrial telly, should stick to Death in paradise or some shit.

 

Anyway, it's okay however a few bits not making sense but Elba is cool and I like Ruth Wilson as the mega psycho however but bit poor how they shoe horned her back into the show from the dead.

Have to say I thought it was fucking dreadful I binned it five minutes into the second episode when that Ruth Wilson turned into some sort of Bond character when she beat the shit out of those blokes.

But I was on my way to spewing it with that annoying 1960's type caricature of a cockney gangster .

I know it's meant to be far fetched but there's far fetched and just crap.

 

British drama hasn't half gone downhill when you consider the stuff that comes from the States and even the Scandinavian stuff is better than ours.
