Just awesome T.V. brilliant acting, Combo was superb.

Best thing on the box this year (to date) IMHO there should be more of this gloves off style drama.

Horrific & compelling in equal measure.

Writing, acting & directing stunning.

Not quite the nostalgic trip down memory lane i had envisiged prior to watching the original film & subsequent series.

This is England - and we can still make excellent (if not the best) film and television on a shoe string budget!

Well, that was fking disturbing and will no doubt stay with me for some time.......
I don't usually watch TV, however, I'm kinda glad I did this time.

Not quite as bad, still pretty harrowing mind you. Anyone who does anything like that in real life deserves to be *plot spoiler removed*.

Mod edit just in case someone hasn't seen it yet...

I reckon so. The scene just before Combo came into Lol's parents' place near the end was truly horrifying.

Was pretty brutal to watch the last two episodes, but at the same time, fantastic viewing.

No.

I do not think I will watch anything else on TV this year which will be as horrible as that bit from episode 3.

Obviously episode 4 had some very dark moments wink

I know! Seemed to wrap up in a flash.

I presume it gives them a reason to do the next one quickly.

Great telly indeed. Oh to be a kid again back in the 80's, when your furtive fumblings with chicks who looked like Smell and Trev were fantastic!
