This City Is Ours

While everyone is wetting their knickers and being nudged over 'Adolescence', this gem is the real eye opener to watch.

I can't understand how this one is going under the radar while Adolescence gets all the unjustified talking about, because This city is ours absolutely destroys Adolescence in both the acting and the story.

This is real, this goes on all the time, having lived on the La costa del sol in Spain I know exactly what goes on down there. The story is fantastic the acting is top notch it is a really gritty scary drama played by some brilliant actors, one or two were of the pace but Michael Kavanagh was riveting, absolute smashed it.

This really is the must watch, not the other one, I came away thinking why would someone want to get involved in that kind of life, why? I guess the lure of money is too strong.

It's a series where every episode is brilliant, they even have mustard the art in how to end the series on a high and not make you feel disappointed in a weak ending, this is gritty, it's violent, it's aggressive, it's realistic, it's brilliant!

This is the best show on Tele in a long time. Absolutely brilliant acting from all involved, even the typical Scouser were brilliant. Anti heros all over the place and some jaw dropping, unexpected twists. The writer deserves a Bafta for this. There must be a season 2 as it would be a crime if they didn't! If you watch anything this weekend then watch this. Fantastic! Ps. Sean Bean with his Yorkshire accent is superb! Typical Sean performance and those supporting him were outstanding. Where this came from I've no idea but they need to make more television like this. Worth the licence fee alone.

This is the only series I've watched 1 episode of and couldn't stop watching it...I watched 5 episodes in one night, and the remaining 3 the next morning on iplayer.. I've never done that before! Every scene in it leaves you wanting more! The acting is brilliant and the characters totally believable. I didn't know anything about it apart from Sean Bean was in it and being from Sheffield myself watch anything he's in, but I was blown away by the gritty performances of EVERYONE in it! This is a show that could go on and on... I was gutted that there wasn't more episodes ( there's 8) it's the best thing I've watched in years! I dare you to watch this and not be hooked! 10 out of 10.

Professionally put together, none of the OTT scouse kidda la la acting.

Really nicely done, some top heavy actors involved, exactly how you'd expect businessmen to conduct themselves, it's about time someone made a decent Liverpool based mob film as this is where the majority of the big players operate.

Absolutely gripping from start to finish, the plot isn't easily sussed out.

Stephen Butchard take a bow son!

James Nelson-Joyce is a diamond level actor, Hannah Onslow is a classy, sophisticated Gangsters Mol with a hidden past.

The cast has been very well selected, I hope to see much more from this series, I can't get enough!

This is a must watch!

There was not much hype surrounding this shows release as far as I could tell, so, my surprise binge made it all the more pleasurable. Here is the Gist...Liverpool drug kingpins Ronnie and Michael are always looking to broaden their margins, money wise. Enter the Columbians, located in Spain. This is just an aside to all the other drama. Michael ( a fantastic James Nelson-Joyce) and his girlfriend Diana are trying to conceive. Jamie, the son of Ronnie ( Sean Bean), is like AJ Soprano ( Tony's son), but more useless and way more volatile. After an incident, Jamie wants more power. He also has his own little Band of Thieves, who are as useless and more dangerous than him. While Jamie's fiance wants to live in Dubai (?!) with their baby. Shout out to A very scary Bobby Shofield, as Bonehead, crazy excellent.

Drama really stretches across these 8 episodes...Including a great side plot with, Saoirse-Monica Jackson from " Derry Girls". It's not just drugs and Mobsters here. It's a really great series written/ created by Stephen Butchard. Foreshadow, Episode 8 at the 43 minute mark, is insanely brilliant.
