He can be okay sometimes. I’ll be watching, aye.

Aye
things set in the 70s have a tendency to be a bit ‘look at the silly clothes, now here’s a string of really obvious 70s hits to remind you what decade this is set in’. remember how shit Vinyl definitely was (I didn’t watch it). I trust David Simon not to be good though
Cheese and D’Angelo! Anyone else from the wire?
Probs will watch it, really liked show me a hero

Malcolm Middleton has ftfy
Yeah it’s definitely a worry and the trailer has its share of that but show me a hero was still great even though it was full of 80s period detail

Yep the pilot was fantastic. Definitely get that Wire-ish sense of fly on the wall realism, but very stylish at the same time (setting/context probably helps a lot with that). Some lovely little snippets of background music, as to be expected, and solid acting all round - props to Franco tbh, forgot I was watching James Franco fairly quickly. Playing “spot the Wire actors” was great fun as well. Top stuff, really looking forward to carrying on!

yep, Chris Partlow is in it
not a bad start - not sure it’s amazing - but definitely worth a go
look and feel so much like that horrible Vinyl show - i think it will pull away from that though
i’ve never really been into the one actor playing twins thing, but Franco did pretty well I think
