Deffo an awesome series. McShane's best role since Sexy Beast.
The worst part of a Sunday evening.
Aw, now I'm sad. Suit jacket and jeans was a look that he wore well. And I liked the show. My wife hated it.
Hah.
Bear in mind I was 10 years old and it was in that category of boring sunday evening TV for old people that my parents would put on. I actually avoided things with Ian McShane in for years after cos I assumed he was a terrible actor cos he was in Lovejoy.
It was better than Heartbeat though. And that detective show with that annoying curly haired fuck and a miserable woman.
Do you imagine you're making it better :'(
I am the old people that watched Lovejoy...
And yes, it was better than Heartbeat which was a show for people who sit around feeling nostalgic for Izal toilet paper - because Izal isn't woke.
As for the curly-haired detective and miserable woman. No idea. Unless you mean Dempsey and Makepeace although he didn't have curly hair and I don't think I ever watched one. Jonathan Creek? That was years later.
I was also late to the Deadwood party, although it was between the series and the movie so experienced most of the wait inbetwixt.
Going through a Western phase at the moment but have put off rewatching it so I can make some progress with Gunsmoke instead. Did listen to the soundtrack this week and now you are definitely motivating me to watch it again.
(also thanks Milko for the original recommendation)
I'm sorry (hug)
I always thought I liked Dempsey and Makepeace but I think it's just cos it had a cool theme. The show itself would always disappoint. TJ Hooker though, that was the shit.
And yeah, Jonathan Creek. Much later but same dull as fuck middle england vibe.
If you find any good westerns, let me know. I've never really been into that setting but Deadwood has whet my appetite.
