I'm pretty surprised to see these low scores (but not at the same time). I thought this show was fantastic. As fan of Nick Love's early films, like Goodbye Charlie Bright & The Business, this was somewhat of a throwback and his unique style was all over it. From the bright colours, to the excellent cinematography and the array of colourful characters that we've seen in his works before, this was classic 'Nick Love'.
The plot keeps you on your toes but it's the performances and characters which made this show a joy to watch. Tahirah Sharif put in the peformance of her career - an absolute bad ass of a character.
This is not particuarly realistic, or true to real life, so if you're looking for something like that than this is not the one. The musical/theatrical scenes were a little over done at times. However, as a fan of gritty british gangster films I can't give this series anything lower than a 9/10 - I crave shows like this but they don't come around often.
Don't be put off by the reviews on here - some of the low scores are absolutely ridiculous to be honest. The production quality, writing, editing, acting performances and cinematography was all top notch, so anyone scoring this as a 3/10 is having a laugh and not being reasonable.
