      Ziggy, the annoying wee gobshite but also the much needed lighter touch to an otherwise almost exclusively bleak S02 (my fav season)…

      And they're bound to re-watch THE WIRE when they're older, and pick up on all those missed tidbits... Cause that's the thing with that show... You can NOT just watch it once...

        That was my conclusion. I’ve watched it through and through twice and seen some seasons more times than that. When the boys were watching it I’d find myself standing in the doorway ten mins at a time staring fondly.

                  Interesting. I feel like we should leave it a day or two before getting into specifics for those who haven’t seen it, but I was pretty happy with everything. Very well written and credible. I thought everyone got an ending that was right for them.

                      I'm halfway through the 3rd ep but can in all honesty say this is the strongest miniseries ever made…

                      Ruthless in its bleakness. Skip that: ruthless in its pitchblack darkness. It's MUST SEE TV.

                        It is fantastic. I’ve seen it described as real life horror and that is a pretty good description. Unremittingly grim while at the same time quite inspiring. Also a great parable about the fucked-upness of late era Soviet Russia.

                            Echoing the above.  I'm halfway through episode 3.  The show is brutal and fantastically done.

                                  I’m going largely against the grain with that. I enjoyed it. Yes the middle section where that fix everything is rushed and dumb but the first section leading to THE DEATH was brilliant, and seeing as I’m a big old softie, I found the very end quite moving. I don’t really understand a lot of the criticism of how it got wrapped up. What were people expecting?

                                    It was maybe a tad predictable but I enjoyed it too. Not as much as S07 but hey…

                                    It was an ending like a pudding at a nursing home: inoffensive and a bit bland as to sooth as many as possible...

                                      For those watching Chernobyl I highly recommend the podcast.  It makes me want to re-watch the episodes as the podcast gives additional information into the disaster and the personal stories portrayed.  Long story short, based on the research the creators of the show did the drama of the HBO series is actually under-emphasized compared to what actually happened.

                                      And for readers - the book 'Voices from Chernobyl' has a number of first hand accounts of the happening.

                                        Thanks for those tips. I’ll endeavour to get to grips with both.

                                          Re-watching SPACED… I actually bought the DVD set for this (2nd hand) well over 10 years ago... And I'm glad I did... So much fun... And so many familiar faces!..
