    Anyone watching it? Started at 9 on Channel 4. Decent cast, Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman.

    Never seen the film. but this seems to be loosely based on it rather than being a carbon copy.

    I liked it. Thought it was dark, but had enough humour to keep it going. Something needs to fill the True Detective gap

    Really enjoyed the first episode. Is it true it is only going to run for ten episodes?

    Do they all have that mad accent in the TV show?

    "Oh yahh?"

    Really enjoyed it. Billy Bob Thornton is excellent in it. Freeman's accent's a bit off-putting.

    Just watched the second episode. Really enjoying it :50:

    Billy Bob Thornton is awesome in it. He plays the bad guy so well.

    Thought the second episode was a lot slower than the opener, although that shouldn't really be a surprise considering the first was just one thing after another.

    Still really good though, Billy Bob Thornton is fantastic in it.

    It was slow, but I think it is 10 episodes so probably padding it out. It's fantastically surreal. Billy Bob Thornton is excellent.

    I love the way he just matter of factly gets people to do what he wants. You actually believe it yourself by the end! :smiley-laughing002:

    ***Spoiler***




















    When the security guy came to his room and warned him, he just went and sat on the toilet and started reading his book and doing a * while this guy is threatening to kill him or something... I nearly * wet myself. :smiley-laughing002:

    I'm liking it so far, nothing mind blowing but certainly a good watch.

    Started off really good, second episode was a bit slow and I fell asleep halfway through the third. Not watched the rest of it yet.

    There have been four so far. First one was brilliant, second was okay, third was a bit * like has been said above.

    I am just about to watch the fourth episode now.

    There are only 10 episodes in total then it's finished for good, so I'll probably stick with it till the end.

    I watch it with the missus so it's getting both of us sat down at the same time to watch the rest.

    I'm enjoying this. Not as funny as the movie, but very engrossing and beautifully acted.
