Brilliant!
Brilliant!
Just started and on the first one , not normally a fan watching series after the film but definitely hooked
A great cast the guy playing the dysfunctional brother must be given credit for his performance just brilliant
And as a Liverpudlian the accents are pretty good which is a challenge.
Thoroughly enjoyable
Finished it last night, really enjoyed it, might have to watch the movie again now.
Loved it - classic Guy Richie slapstick / gangster whats not to like
Ps Freddie is brilliant
Finished it in three nights. Excellent!
Also just finished the first episode. Very good and thin kit will only get better.
Film was great, 1st episode didn’t disappoint either. Looking forward to watching the rest.
What channel is this to be viewed on ?
Cheers,
Ben

I also watched the first two episodes last night, excellent. I haven't seen the film and can't compare and contrast.
I am about 6 episodes in and so far it’s been excellent. Really is only a little similar to the movie and in my view much better.

4/5 episodes in and very much enjoying it. Love the work of Guy Richie.
Watched the whole lot over the week and enjoyed it a lot. Some nice nods to Richie’s other gangster films and the end, whilst predictable was fun.
Hoping for a second season.
The worst bit of the whole show is the watch that was given away…….::

Great fun, really enjoying it 4 episodes in.
Ive had this on my watch list but having really rated the film was a bit on the "will this be poo" fence.
This thread is reassuring so I'll give it a go.
Enjoyed the film as a bit of Richie malarkey but I started watching the series and it was just turgid, no snap and crackle.
I guess that is what happens when you stretch quite a thin story over eight hours.
Saw the first two episodes, won't revisit it.
Cheers,
Neil.
Now watched all episodes. Yes you could see the ending coming, but that didn’t detract from what was a thoroughly enjoyable watch in my opinion. Seems set up for a further series as well, which I’d certainly welcome.
Now onto episode five, would rate as just ok. Found the movie much better.
On a side note, did I spot a Panerai on his Grace's wrist in episode four?

Just finished the series. Really enjoyed it. Lots of cool watches as well, I recall seeing a gold Cartier Santos, gold Patek Nautilus, FP Journe, Bremont, Panerai, Rolex, JLC Reverso.
Also the scene where Susie Glass is in her apartment and the burger gets sent up (episode 7 I think) is in this flat;

Watched no4 this morning and really like it, not brilliant but very watchable.
It’s ok I think. Richie’s formulae hasn’t changed in 25 years you could almost guess the script.
The stereotypical “ Londener, Scouser “ is a bit of a tired concept.
The forced scouse accent and the clothing is bizarre. Sergio Tachinni tracksuits haven’t been worn in Liverpool for 45 years.

I gave it a try, gave up part way through episode 2, as you say it feels stereotypical, hackneyed, predictable...the acting sub par for me too.
^^This^^
I enjoyed the film but I found nothing to like here.
I laughed at the chicken dance scene and was hoping for more from Peter Serafinowicz, who at least is actually from Liverpool, but that didn't end well.
When the best character is Vinnie Jones' gamekeeper, it's time for bed.
That’s because Guy Richie hasn’t been up north for that long!
I enjoyed it as s bit of escapism even though it was the same as everything else he’s made, even down to getting his mate Vinny into it, but then why change a winning formula? It’s not like he’s ever going to be mentioned in the same breath as, say, Spielberg or Scorsese.
I've watched 3 episodes and can't be bothered with the rest. Very contrived plot. overdone, verbose script and just not that interesting.
I'm not sure how so many on this thread think it's 'excellent'.
This.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Two episodes in,really enjoying it.
I enjoyed it - as others have said very predictable and a bit silly as you expect with a Guy Ritchie film. Didn’t find the acting in any way sub-par, and the caricatures are exactly that - caricatures. The character I felt most irritated by was Susie Glass - the hard talking daughter of a gangster in designer threads has been done to death even more than Northern thugs in tracksuits! - I’d give it a solid 8/10 review bearing in mind it’s a silly Guy Richie/tough geezers series - it does exactly what it says on the tin
