Mashu-2 Review of Boys from the Blackstuff

Boys from the Blackstuff (1982)

If you regard yourself as a social commentator, watch this.

[10/10 · 15 October 1998]

Alan Bleasdale's defining production. Almost unbearably tragic characters, yet Bleasdale manages to find the opportunity for rare wit in his dialogue. As good a T.V. series as there has ever been. Truly the work of a genius.
