    This 'ard written all over it. :D Hopefully it rises above snooker ball in a sock and showers level threats and is a bit clever.

    Bean and McGovern teamed up a few years back and gave us Broken. It was not an easy watch but bloody brilliant.

    First episode was hard to watch but very very good.
    Amazing actors, my special mention goes to Aneurin Barnard.

    Watched all 3 too.
    A very dark and bleak watch at times. You definitely shouldn’t watch it if you’re not in the best of form. I don’t think it offered anything much new to the “prison movie” genre. A lot of the themes and characters you’ll have seen in countless prison dramas and it did lean on the odd prison cliche or two.
    However, overall, I really enjoyed it, mainly due to the 2 leads. Both great actors that elevate anything they’re in.

    Very watchable Could easily have gone to 6 episodes Stephen Graham’s story arc could have been stretched out a bit more. Brian McCardle aka Tommy Hunter in Line of Duty was very good

    Watched the first one, it was relentlessly bleak, so much so that my wife commented she had to turn off Broken for the same reason a few years ago. No surprise it's from the same stable.

    I started it with my girlfriend on Sunday. We got about 10 minutes in and she wanted to watch something else.
    It definitely was bleak. I will keep watching myself, though. Sean and Stephen are always very watchable and it was really well acted.

    This is one of the best tv shows I've seen in ages. Sean Bean, Stephen Graham, and Siobhan Finneran are 3 of my favourite actors. So many scenes made me cry: Mark helping Kav write the card, Brendan's admission to his victim's brother, how far gone Daniel went, the funeral, Eric on his way to prison, Mark and the poor fella on the bike's wife.

    I think overall I was so emotionally stirred by the displays of compassion to men who fùcked up in a big way. It reminded me a little of my mother. She had this capacity to speak to anyone regardless of rumour or allegation. People who you would wrongly assume were dodgy and even those who actually were.

    Great performances and yes, very bleak. I find the storyline a bit far fetched. A prison officer who has a son in another prison, banged up and his inmates find this out and use it against him. Can't see that in real life.

    As with all these dramas where couples come in, one partner obviously has to be black to tick that box. So to is the prison governor. It just seems there has to be some non white characters or the complaining brigade will kick up a fuss. Just watching TV drama, that seems to be the standard these days. Again, not true to real life.

    No doubt some left wing liberal type will come along and call me out as a racist. Please don't bother. I won't be replying. Stick to the Tv show.

    Just binged it there. Nothing groundbreaking but terrific performances. Stephen Graham really is top class in everything he does.

    Finished it and I hope it sweeps the TV awards next season, it deserves it

    Yes Stephen Graham was good but Sean Bean was in a whole different league

    He looked like a man who'd had his soul danced on, complete with the wrinkles to match and I hope he too gets a BAFTA for this (and an Emmy if it's sold to the States)

    Re: Stephen Graham, although he's good I find him just a tad over hyped and over lauded. Example: when he learnt
    his son was in intensive care his emotions were just completely flat and the same when he saw him in hospital. There should've been explosive anger there, instead it was just ... nothing

    And does anyone know why
    Jackson Jones backed down when Mark (Sean Bean)'s black friend walked in on the attack with the pool balls? I thought Jackson was the gaffer of the place


    Apart from Sean's performance I thought Aneurin Barnard as Bernard was excellent too

    It was this character

    2_aneurin1JPG.jpg


    I'd give the incredible opening episode a 9/10 and the other two an 8 for an 8.5 overall

    Superb TV

    Thought this was brilliant overall. Incredibly sobering. Hope it stays as just the 3 episodes as to preserve its story.

    Was it just the TV I watched it on, or was some of the dialogue really hard to understand? I'm usually fine with Northern English and scouser accents, but I was straining to hear at times.
