Do you think its going to be as disturbing as the movie? Hopefully less violent. Hardly slept last nite from watching the movie.

Haven't seen any of the trailers, but i'd imagine it will along the same lines. It is Shane Meadows after all.

What did ya all think of the 1st show?, was a bit slow IMO but I guess it was just to build the base for the next 3 episodes and to catch you up on what happend between the end of the movie and start of this

I enjoyed it, it had some very funny moments and you can sense that it's just going to get darker and darker over the later episodes.

Funny in parts but was a tad disappointed. The Northern down to earth quirkiness seemed a bit forced and at times I found it hard to believe in. Having said that it had its moments and I will be tuning in next week to see if it needed first episode to settle down.

I enjoyed it. It was a bit slow but i think that was to be expected. The scene in the Young girls house(cant remember her name) was hilarious.
Hopefully more of the same with a faster pace next tuesday!

Watched the film and the first episode of the TV series back to back
film is excellent, highly recommend it.
First episode was slow, but it was more of an introductory episode than anything else, trying to fill in where these characters have been in the intervening years.

Hi Tets just wondering have you seen Dead Mans Shoes? One of my all time fav movies, equally disturbing and brilliant

I bought this http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/33843...t/Product.html a couple of years ago and i highly recommend it.
Dead Mans Shoes is fantastic and Paddy Considine's performance in that and A Room For Romeo Brass is a master class in acting.

Seen them all expect Romeo Bass. Seen his western in the midlands which was ok, and his first SmallTime which was a great first effort. Love Meadows.

you can actually hear his fist clenching!!!!

**shakermaker1982** · 11/09/2010, 7:52 PM

Romeo Brass, Dead mans shoes and 24/7 are all worth checking out.

His rapper film (KLe Donk) is a bit crap though so I'd avoid that.

Yeah likewise. Started off good but the last 20 minutes seemed rushed with not a whole lot happening. Hopefully is will pick up next week, and focus on Shawn who seems the most interesting character IMHO
