Channel 4 / E4 tend to be reliable for drama and this looks fun.. scored by Blur's Graham Coxon too.

Starts October 24th.

Only first episode on Channel 4. Rest on All4.

It didn't really do anything for me.

RayM

I heard an announcer on Channel 4 referring to the show by its full name last week. I don't think I've ever heard a continuity announcer say the bad f-word (fuck) before.

I thought it was dreadful muck.

Hmmmm...interesting!

I recorded it but the news the rest is on All4 means I probably won't bother.

paulbok

I'm interested to hear if it was actually interesting

Stupid carry-on that is, lots of people don't have or want to use internet for tv.

It's not as if C4, E4, More 4 and 4-7 are full to the brim with first run quality programming, they could really not find a 30 min slot somewhere, Maybe 1 less Big Bang repeat a week?

Yeah, I tend to agree. But a lot of UK stations seem to be going this way... look at the likes of BBC3 who are online-only, albeit they repeat a number of their popular shows late-night on BBC1 / BBC2.

BoroMan32

Watched it all.

It was interesting and bordered on quite decent at times. Something different if nothing else.

General Twitter response from those far younger and cooler than I was generally favourable, also.

Just watched the first three and I enjoyed it. Its different, well acted and

interesting

.

There's a slight irritation (for me at least) of having this episode's plot disaster telegraphed before hand, but hey ya can't have everything.

Precisely, I've never understood teh rationale for Channel 4 sticking material on All4 as an exclusive unless it's simply a case of penny pinching. The rights for a web channel will clearly be cheaper than for broadcast.

Wow! F***! What a show!

Glebee

I see its up on netflix now. Interesting.

Lisha

I enjoyed it.

Wasn’t delighted with the ending but I still Thought it was good

yourdeadwright

Wow really really enjoyed this great show .
Loved the ending

Heckler

Loved it. He was good. She was great. The show was a breath of fresh air.

Agreed, she totally owned that role. I thought it was brilliantly written, acted and scored and I loved the pace, the episodes were short and snappy but never felt rushed. It was edgy but not in that try-hard way that so many teen dramas are (like skins, for example, though I enjoyed that show).

When people watch a show like this and are like 'it didn't do anything for me' it boggles my mind. To make a show that is as clever as this, and as dark, but still feels believable, is extremely hard to do. Why do you think rte only makes one good drama per decade on average if we're lucky.

The Black Oil

Just watched 3 episodes. Thought it was strong, confident from the off and had empathy for its characters.

Delighted to find out she was 25 in real life.

Why, fancy your chances :pac::p

TerrorFirmer

Thought it was pretty good as well, leads worked well but I felt the first few episodes were much stronger than the final few. Nice to see Barry Ward as the dad, he's a decent actor..... bit like a budget Aidan Gillen at times but good.

Yeah, I dunno what it is about TV/films whereby the initial escapade that's quite good/captivating, then the chase ensues only to fizzle out a bit.

Still, good show anyway.

NIMAN

I lasted 9min of Episode 1, and had to turn it off.

The characters were just doing my head in, way OTT and annoying.....I simply couldn't watch any more.

Basq

Looks like we have a second series in the works..

Always Tired

While I'll no doubt watch the 2nd series as I enjoyed the first one a lot, great performances by both leads, I really think they should have left it, the ending was perfect, the same way it ended in the comic, which doesn't have a sequel as far as I know.

This is why I'm getting fed up with TV series and think they can never match films - the goal is always to get you to watch again, at the expense of just telling a well crafted story that has a good ending without cliffhanger after cliffhanger until you're worn out. Like the Handmaids Tale it just became a pisstake after the first season.

Season 2 is now on Netflix

Always Tired

I thought they had made a great 1 season show and could have left it at that, but now I'm glad they didn't.

The girl who plays Alyssa is fantastic again, the soundtrack is greeat too. Enjoying it so far.

The Black Oil

Threads merged.

gimli2112

this might be my favourite thing ever
binged watched 2 Friday
1 Yesterday
Watching 2 again now and going too watch 1 again after as its better
but not by much
2 leads are fantastic
wish I had watched the first one first

Say Your Number

Loved the music in it, Bonnie was a menacing presence throughout,

When she shot both of them at the end of episode 7 :eek:

ended up feeling sorry for her in the end. Alyssa is a complete weapon but the best character by a mile, she usually gets the best lines, I like how her eyes are rolled permanently,

like James I thought she was going to kill herself at the end, I know it's quite dark but that would have been a bit much even for this

I heard they are leaving it at that, I liked how it ended, hope they leave it the f*ck alone.

gimli2112

they can't go again
I will end myself
brilliant

2nd season is awful for how sad she is

Heckler

Binge watched today. Loved s01. Excellent. The leads were great but Bonnie was fantastic. Maybe put it to bed now and leave it go on a high.

Zero-Cool

Loved the 2nd season, great ending as well. Would be happy to see more but but think it should end as is.

Always Tired

Was a definite homage to (or ripoff of) the scene in The Graduate where they drive away from the wedding, but I enjoyed it.

The guy who plays James does deadpan really well. I've a feeling he's gonna do a lot of voice work in the future. Between this series and the Black Mirror episode he's in danger of being typecast as 'creepy guy'.

Homelander

Binge watched as well here, was hesitant about a 2nd season but it was so good I started with the first episode and didn't finish until it was over. Much as I love it, think it's the perfect end point. The leads are insanely good together.

joejoggs

Probably my favourite TV series ever.

Thought it Was excellent.

walshb

Season 1 was super.

2 was so fooking boring...had nothing...

The amount of nonsense boring dialogue!

Glebee

Struggled through S2 to be honest, not a patch on S1. Trying too hard to be edgy and tragic. By the end I wanted to smack the male lead character.
