    There was an American made drama show on TnaG a while back that I think was kind of based on the film "Traffic" where it was following different aspects of drug and people trafficking. I think it was kind of a mini series. I only saw about half of one episode and thought it looked good.

    Does anyone know what it was called? i'd like to get it somehow.

    It was cunningly titled "Traffic - The Mini Series"

    Wasn't bad. Good cast.

    Traffic was based on an English drama series. When was it on TG4?

    I recall that show on Ch4 back in the mid 80's...powerfully shot and scripted, well cast and very dark; was a real eye opener for me as a youngster.

    Movie wasn't bad either.

    1989 I thought it was the 1990s.

    89? Thought it was a few years earlier for some reason.

    I thought it was a few years later, so I guess together we where right.
