What TV are you watching?

Crime - based on the book by Irvine Welsh.

Pretty good, but not as debauched as some of his stuff unless it was toned down for TV. Also my viewing partner had me laughing when they said "hey they look like John simm", well it is John simm so er

It was well observed, but a bit obvious where it was going I thought.

did you predict the 'scanners' moment though?

Not exactly, but roughly.

It was a fun episode, enjoyed it more than the speed dating one, which was far too obvious.

Personally I think it's the kind of show to enjoy and appreciate with a decent gap in between episodes as it can be a little bit "Oh, where's the twist coming" and I've become far too good at calling them. Doesn't spoil it at all for me, and it's still really clever, but I do think it's getting to the point where I think they should maybe start a new project.

Someone's head explodes? I need to watch this if true.

Totally agree, think I've said similar on this thread before but even the ones I don't particularly rate are miles ahead of anything else. My favourites are the crossword one and the restaurant bill argument, so simple but so effective. Oh and I love the hotel one that's written in iambic pentameter.

The fella in the online dating one is a great actor, he's hilarious in People Just Do Nothing, which I'd highly recommend; similarly clever.

Without Sin. Vicky McClure vehicle about a murdered daughter, with scene-stealing support role supplied by Johnny Harris (who is always brilliant).

Really enjoyed it. Cyclechat views?

IMDB give it 6.8 which is good enough for me to give it a try. I do find her a bit odd but she was good in line of duty

I wondered if that would be good. I'll catch up on it thanks.
