Fuckin over acted dung IMO.

Agree - it was terrible melodramatic shite.

[gallsman]

Agreed. Was pushed to watch it and thought it was dreadful bollocks altogether. Same for Liar on ITV.

Is much imagination needed? i haven't viewed the last few series of the Sopranos but I guess it's the usual mafia ending.  a boss, past his sell by date for some reason, getting executed in a grubby restaurant in a power shift. Not unlike Joey, "the king of the streets, child of clay".
There is only one end to a mafia drama.

Donnie Brasco is the supreme gold standard of a gritty mafia drama and the bullet with Lefty's name on it was in the chamber from the opening scenes.

Sopranos did "end" in a restaurant, to the soundtrack of Journey on the table top jukebox (sparking the resurgence and renewed and enduring popularity of that song).

However, the fate of the boss, unlike the other main characters, was not exactly spelled out.

Whereas even poor Lefty himself (has there ever been a more pathetic character in a film?) knew what was going to happen when he walked out the door, leaving his watch and other valuables in a slightly ajar drawer. No actual depiction (even though they included a gun shot over a black screen) was required.

(Last quality film/performance from Pacino. 20 years ago now!)

Lesbians, the ayatollah, the disabled... he managed to offend everyone!

Leon rocks! ("I shot a porno constipated!")

Looking for a good comedy, so I've just started with this, Series 1!
The first few epsiodes have been hard enough work, most of the "funny" bits are set up in a way that you can see them coming, so laughs have been few and far between. But I'll stick with it for a while and hope it improves

It's cringe comedy. Either your thing or not.

I think it's genius, especially as it's all improv.

Ski Lift in season 5 is a personal favourite.

[Longshanks]

Curb is one of the few shows I actually think has got better the longer its been on and yes the fact its unscripted and only an outline of a plot is amazing.

Can't wait. If you haven't seen the first two series of Gomorrah then don't watch that link as there are a few spoilers in it.

4th episode of The Deuce, I find I can't not watch it, even if it's just taking its time, looking as if it's going nowhere interesting. This series needs some serious taxi driver retribution to counter the effect of the one way relentless sexploitation and crude gutter mafia gangsterism.

Rewatched a couple of the earlier series over the summer. Awesome show even after so many years. Acting and scripting was top notch. Definitely in my Top 5 boxsets ever.
