"Remember the Elisa Lam mystery? We had a thread on it on WHO, I think. Anyway Netflix has done a series about it. Looking forward to it. Bound to cover a load of the maddest conspiracy theories."

"Finished 'Spotless' it won't live long in the memory, but it's hard not to like a good old London gangster yarn with some comedy, sorts, and funny characters thrown in. Well worth a watch. Cheers for the reco."

There are many times in Gomorrah where the protagonists either have a chance to escape or are advised to. They don’t. They chose to live in shit places with murderers all around them. Bleak nonsense. Regarding Covid. I have consistently said it’s fine for most of us so just be happy and get on with a positive life. Of course I understand why people like bleak drama and bleak lives.

"Gomorrah is unrelentingly depressing and bleak'' Series based on drug dealing gangs in the slums of Naples. What did you expect, Fawlty fucking Towers?. Like Manuel said,go back to spreading joy and glee on the Covid thread."

"I've watched 2 eps of Gangs of London and am not overly impressed. The writers have taken Peaky Blinders, added some imitation Kray brothers, set it in the present day and added over the top violence. And the lead actor is weak. Shame, as it's a gift of a part in the right hands. Brilliant production values though and very well directed."

Gamorrah is unrelentingly depressing and bleak. You end up shouting at the screen “ just fucking off with a few million”. Like the bloke in Blackburn did.

If you like visceral operatic violence you should be well pleased. If you want documentary style reality drama you’ll be disappointed
