Just watched the pilot and its glorious.
Many in the cast from The Wire and of course David Simon is writer/producer.

This is a show that went pretty under-the-radar, but in terms of BBC quality programming, this is top notch. It's dense, the characters are wonderful, it's a mystery, and two seasons of 6 episodes makes it relatively easy to watch.
It's a bit difficult to find these days, but I say this rivals "Deadwood" as the biggest "What if it hadn't been cancelled?" in TV history. Peter Capaldi's performance in series 2 is absolutely entrancing.

I read yesterday that Amazon's going to be turning SnowCrash into a televisionTV Series. not sure how I feel about that - I think it's just about digestible enough for a film outing first...
- Snow Piercer?dopepope
- *slap!
http://variety.com/2…detritus - I'd love to see a series based on Ringworld. That was a great Sci Fi novel by Larry Niven.CyBrainX
- It was good conceptually, but some of the characterisation was a bit pants. Would live to see it on screen thoughdetritus

'The Sinner' was pretty interesting. USA channel. I sat down having no idea what it was going to be about. Was instantly hooked.

- yeah true a little slow in spots but mostly superb quality ... and that Edmund (co-ed killer) guy is beyond fucking creepy.Ramanisky2

Any new crime series on BBC or Channel 4? It's been a while since I saw something from the UK.

This is incredible. Shot like an ep of true detective but real.All the Series 2 episodes are on Youtube it seems but the quality is really bad. Worth looking for it elsewhere.

- Always thought his standup was a bit grim but he's a really good comedy writer / comedy character actor.Fax_Benson
- Still going to catch up with this. if something's good it's good - even if the co-writer is a total sex case.Fax_Benson
- agreedRamanisky2
- I thought this was the perfect female version of Louie's original TV show. In many way's even better. So insightful.Ianbolton
