Sid4ever Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I know just a one off, but Killed by my Debt, on BBC1 tonight was a harrowing indictment of what this country has become. RIP Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised they went with the Devil storyline actually, but for the better. Loved the portrayal as overtly being a mob boss/shady businessman with the same patter and techniques. A shame the budget just isn't there to bring the Devil to life more believably though. But..Saint of Killers is back! Great stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt bad for them. Yeah I wasn’t paying much attention to that bit, found it a bit dull and slow. The couple were too understanding and polite. Basically just him saying a load of outrageous things and seeing how they react. Obviously that sketch, it’s the idiot liberal character who’s meant to be the target of the satire rather than the God fearing republicans. That’s fair enough, it just didn’t work that well. Likewise the artists discussion sequence. I think Cohen is funny and on his day he’s an exceptional talent. But too often he goes for the easy gag. The final gun bit was funny so hopefully there’s more like that. The problem might well be that a lot of stuff is beyond parody these days.

Brumerican Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 White Gold has some of the most jarring tonal shifts I've ever seen in a TV show. Is it Goodfella's ? Is it The Inbetweeners ? Is it Football Factory ? Then it gets a bit Wolf of Wall Streety . Then somebody shouts out "What if the Twilight guy was placed in a wind tunnel whilst playing both Kray twins ?" Still kind of works and has some genuinely hilarious moments. Buckley providing the vast majority of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if it is worth the time? yes and yes, as you would expect from HBO the production values are incredible, then as you would expect from Simon there are lots of characters who somehow all manage to feel developed despite varying amounts of screen time, some 'orrible bastards that you quite like, maybe the only criticism is the "main" story arcs arent always that interesting (so again maybe as you would expect from Simon...but compared to the wire and treme the franco and gyllenhall stories do feel more at the forefront) its back in september 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
