U.S Life on Mars - FX - 10pm - Yes, I Know It's ARSE

[Balbi]

But i'm watching anyway. I want to see Bad Lieutenant Hunt

This shall take pride of place as my 'show I watch to rip the shit out of' programme.

Twats.

 

[Sir Belchalot]

Didn't mind it myself. It's quite a bit different from the English version.

 

[Balbi]

First thoughts, U.S style over exposition fail, John Simm is miles better fail.

However, shot for shot replay win. Twin Towers epic win.

General U.S policeman fail.

 

[Balbi]

Keitel, for all his greatness, doesn't hold a candle to Glenister in the big shouty sweary seventies copper bastard stakes so far - he's practically a minor character

*would have preferred Colm Meaney*

 

[Balbi]

I'm quite enjoying this now

 

[madzone]

I'm recording it to maybe watch with the kids tomorrow Is it suitable?

 

[Balbi]

Dunno, seems alright - not yet as offensive as the U.K version could be - sexism aside.

 

[Balbi]

Keitel is now hilarious - but also good.

 

[Fictionist]

I watched the first episode yesterday night. I thought the most powerful moment was the shot of the twin towers still being there. But there is a sense of it being just ever so slightly overblown?
