ellis Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Found this series after watching Charlie Brooker and he recommended it! Bought Series 1 just before Christmas and started watching it . . . . and couldn't stop!! After watching the whole series in about 2 days I found the other 4 series and have just finished the final episode of Series 5 - all 5 done is less than 2 weeks (roughly 70 hours!!). Man, this programme is awesome - the best I've seen. It takes the whole series to lay the story out (nothing is wrapped up in a single one hour programme), characters are superbly done and fleshed out until they are incredibly real. Its gritty, real, compelling, superbly written, bloody well acted and addictive. My recommendation? Go out, buy Series 1 and get hooked. Start from Series 1 and follow it all the way through - its stunning. No plans for Series 6 so I'm starting to watch Series 1 again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yes mate its awesome isnt it, my fave series of all time. I love the way that although the lead charaters stay the same, the focus of the series is somewhere else, like the docks, or the paper, clever I caught it when it was on Beeb 2 last year, then like you, bought all 5 series in a box set. And a couple of Brit actors in lead roles Heartily recommended. There will be no more series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 There will be no more series No, so it would seem - they pretty much wrapped it up at the end - excellent writing though and some quality Brit acting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
