It's not often I'm compelled to write reviews but this is baffling me. I am failing to see what other reviewers have found so appealing in this series.
I don't feel an affinity with any of the characters and to be honest, the two brothers who are central to the narrative get on my nerves. I'm on episode 6 and if either of them got slotted it would be no great loss.
Tim Roth appears to think he can go through his post Tarantino acting career playing the same unconvincing character in every production (see Tin Star and Lie to Me). He seems to think that 'can't be a****d chic' is in some way suave and intriguing but in reality it's just bland and tiresome.
I really couldn't care who ends up running the drug trade, if the bent coppers get caught or if Godzilla wades through Kings Cross and eats the Hell's Angels. They're all one dimensional, badly written, ill thought out caricatures of so many drab and dreary, plastic gangsters from so many straight to DVD, bargain bin flops.
Quite honestly I'm annoyed I've invested the time to reach episode 6. I can only hope and pray that a fleet of alien craft descend to take control of earth's resources and enslave the.... Wait, that's Independence Day. A cliche with watchability.
Anyway, just felt I had to enunciate my complete and utter distain for this facile and uninspired journey into drudgery and despair.
Feel free to retort...
