Good stuff, this show. Not 1st tier HBO, but sad to say those shows - The Wire, Deadwood, The Sopranos - just don't seem to be getting made anymore. Not enough sex, maybe? True Blood, on the other hand... vampies + southern gothic + sex = greenlit second season, third, and beyond no doubt...
Well, Wallace and Gromit it ain't, but dare I say Harvie Krumpit is equally original. Dark but uplifting, peculiar and unlike anything else.
(I don't even have the nerve to see it to confirm that it's a) terrible movie.
Thick as Thieves, some classic midseventies British humor. Bob Hoskins plays a petty criminal who comes back from three years "in the nick" to find his wife Annie shacked up with his former conman partner and best mate Stan (Inspector Morse John Thaw). A sadly-only 8-episode threesome ensues. Worth searching out...
