    What is there to be negative about??

    I was really looking forward to watching this, especially being written by the same guy who wrote The Last Kingdom (if you've not seen it watch it, absolutely brilliant from start to finish).

    I digress. If you're wanting flowers and hearts this isn't for you, however if you like a good northern drama you will love it.

    I don't believe in giving any kind of spoilers so all I can say is it has a kickass soundtrack. The cast choices are perfect Julie Graham is a really good choice for the Matriarch and Sean Bean even with his Yorkshire accent (thee knows nowt Jon Snow) as a scouser well he can be forgiven. Jack McMullen (Waterloo Road) is a real header, somewhat unpredictable character. An actor I don't recall seeing before is James Nelson-Joyce who again puts in a solid performance.

    I have watched the whole season in 2 nights and will be watching it again.

    Absolutely brilliant

    Totally enjoyed this series, would be great to have more seasons. It is really well made, the acting is brilliant, the storyline is captivating. Gangs, drugs, rivals, love, family, betrayal, murder, all very well twisted into this series.

    You watch it and know they are criminals, but at the same time you are siding with them and hope they win.

    The actor James Nelson-Joyce is an amazing actor and makes Scouser accent sound even sexier. The character he played is really charismatic and kind and you feel drawn to him. At the same time he is a criminal and a gangster and what he does is rally bad.

    Fantastic...Riveting...

    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.

    Compelling viewing

    Not at all what I expected. Refreshing that the city in the title is Liverpool and not London. I have not given this series 10 stars simply because there are some gaping holes in the plot. Otherwise it is compelling viewing which I viewed in two sittings.

    What I feel is different about this crime drama is that it is told from the point of view of gang members who carry out violent acts. The writers have skilfully shown us that men and women who carry out or condone violence are also capable of being in love and feeling vulnerable.

    I like the fact that the action is set in Liverpool but warn that if one is not familiar with the scouse accent the plot may be hard to follow.

    I cannot give any spoiler away only to say I wish Sean Bean appeared more.

    Totally Fantastic!

    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.
