gritty drama . emotionally powerful . blah . the bbc have lose out big time to masterful production such a the wire and soprano and carnivale from hbo . okay and so the budget may be a lot small but the street last night be badly act and predictable and unrealistic and stereotypical and insensitive and a big fat waste of time . tv ( british tv ) be not as good a it use to be and be fall far and far behind the american production . there be no sense of brutal violence from the local gangster . there be no indication that this man be insane enough to beat up a man he have respect for such a long time . there be no remorse when he do it and this shouldn not be the sort of character that would back down when bob hoskins call his son a pansy and in a display of bravery . i wish i be more eloquent to express my disdain for this show and but i be not and although i can not prove my point well enough and believe me when i say that this be rubbish and shock tv and that provide no real inward look perspective on life . 1/5 star .
