Peckham do you like Gomorrah as you can relate to it as being a bit of villain yourself?

"No TV has been as good or classy as Gomorrah. On my second watching due to missing things first time round and also learning Italian. Keep trying recommendations of other box sets but Gomorrah is a difficult series to beat. Even 2nd time round is hits you. As for documentary, Waco I have seen many Youtube docs and films about Waco, but this has unseen footage and phenomenal editing. Seeing the tension in the negotiators cabin and how many of them. The FBI and ATF really fucked up and surely responsible for the deaths of 28 kids and 70 odd nutters. I reckon the FBI or ATF started the fire."

"Town Called Malice is simply atrocious, acting more wooden than long John silver's leg, shouldn't be a comedy but the only way to explain how bad it is would be to class it as such. The constant cramming in of 'Saaaaaaf London' lingo is a joke and quite pathetic. Jason Flemming must really need a pay cheque to put his name to this absolute pile of shite."

"LeroysBoots 1:00 Absolute class television. Shit that this is the last season, but glad they are finishing it when they should rather then keeping it ambling along past it's natural conclusion because it's a money maker. Storytelling integrity over dollar. So few shows go out on their own terms at the right time and die a painful slow death as everything is milked out of them due to the greed of the execs at the channel. Lost Dexter The Walking Dead The X files (Happy Days- literally the genesis of jumping the shark) and so on with countless more examples."
