TV Series


I'm mid way through "The City's is Ours" on BBC iplayer, really good so far, a few twists and turns, good acting and I like the fact the dialogue feels like it has more scouse slang than usual drama's set in Liverpool. Often some of the less obvious terms are removed because the producers are worried it will limit the appeal.
Some decent accents from people who are not from Liverpool like, Saoirse-Monica Jackson. I love how Sean Bean doesn't even try an accent, everyone he plays is from Sheffield :)

A well made piece of TV, but I wish we could see a drama set in Liverpool, that does not include drugs, violence, and gangsters.

I'm hoping someone's going to make a series called: 'Weerzzz me lemo, lad?!?!'...and it's actually about lemonade theft.

Maybe Jimmy McGovern can make it and weave it into a story about cheery gap-toothed Liverpool fans selling actual lemo to fund their tour around Europe "to follow der redmen, lad".

The BBC will be all over that.
 

Imagine pitching these 2 ideas to the BBC.

'A gritty crime, drugs, violence drama set in the black community of Hackney'

BBC worthy = 'this just perpetuates tired , racist, and inaccurate portrayals of London'.

' How about, a gritty crime, drugs, and violence drama set in Liverpool'

BBC worthy. = 'brilliant, when do you need the money?'

Isn’t that that just top boy?
 

Been watching Yellowjackets. Really enjoyed the first season but it’s just got really stupid now and the tone is all over the place. Feels a bit like what happened to Lost which I stopped watching after the third series.

Really feels like they don’t know where they are going with it. Should have just done two series and wrapped it up there.
