But sure the footage was cut off to Jamie, he had no access, his phone showing error, after 'Top Boy' went and seen the guy who wired up the CCTV. Yea, I had wondered about the scene previous where the 'junkies' were pouring the cider out, and only swishing it around their mouths. Makes sense now.

What I noted with many British series or movies is they are nearly always on the dark side, a lot of desperation in them, and limit depressive . Mostly happening in an underprivileged social environment. Maybe reflecting a certain actual british socio culturel society ? And the very negative inward look that most Brit have of their country ? Like views being reflected often on this forum "UK is f*cked, I'll never go back, its a shithole, a disgrace, etc...." Speaking pretty well the language, having lived there a bit, and hanged out a lot.with Brits, I think I have a rather fair understanding of this thing. Just my 2 cents. I don't think it's necessarily a British thing, The Wire (American), Gommorrah (Italian) Love Hate (Irish) just off the top of my head are all similar. But yea, I had been thinking about this the other day, why do people like watching 'gangsters' and associated social stuff. For lots of people in their favourite moves, they'll have a gangster one, like Goodfellas, Once Upon a Time in America, the Long Good Friday etc etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers4Life Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Gripping 4 part mini-series that is a dramatization of the true story of the "Central Park Five" whereas five teens from Harlem became trapped in a nightmare when they're falsely accused of a brutal attack and rape in Central Park. I am on the 2nd episode in and it's pretty intense so far. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillearly Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Any idea if you can change to subtitles, watching a English language program about the Italian Mafia ... thought there would only be subtitles during the Italian sections , but it seems to be all or nothing ....
