Should be born as beautiful as Cillian Murphy thus keeping me glued to the screen through six episodes of what is actually an exceptionally brutal and mean story?

Your friend is BVU. Those eyes, and lips, and cheekbones that can slice paper.

And to top it off an incredibly talented actor. Sigh.

As for too skinny! He is athletic, not skinny :)

The show though makes me think a lot about what those men went through in WWI and their lives after. You can't just go through something as brutal as war and not come out of it undamaged.

It makes me want to bring all our guys back from Afghanistan.

NotYo - I'm with your friend. Bleurgh. You are all welcome to fight amongst yourselves for him!

ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee · 20/10/2013 10:42

He is skinny - runty - not athletic!

DoJo · 20/10/2013 10:42

This guy? Each to their own, but I wouldn't with yours...Grin

DaddyPigsMistress · 20/10/2013 10:43

He looks like a scrawny drug addict

Yes definitely. All films. All the time. I can't believe though that I heard about this show from a friend. Cillian Murphy and Sam Neill, stunning production values, music from Nick Cave & White Stripes, and they hide it away on a Thurs night?

FreakinRexManningDay · 20/10/2013 10:51

I liked him in Intermission but no,he doesn't really do anything for me.

NotYoMomma · 20/10/2013 10:53

Sam Neill would also get it

TeaJunky · 20/10/2013 11:03

Yy to the scrawny drug addict!

I like my men looking like they've had a hearty meal inside em recently Grin

Ugh don't like beefy men. Not too skinny - David Tennant is too skinny for me. But definitely prefer my men to be lithe. And flexible. If Cillian Murphy, Tom Hiddlestone and Aiden Turner haven't been in a movie together then they SHOULD be.

I may start a petition ...

Jesus, really? I can't watch him in things because he's so creepy looking.

Same with the Cumberbatch bloke.

NynaevesSister · 20/10/2013 11:10

And yes Sam Neil isn't ageing too badly at all.

I agree with the 'too skinny/unhealthy' comments. Need something to hold on to Grin

Cillian Murphy is awful looking, not my type at all! You ladies are all welcome to him Grin

MalcolmTuckersMistress · 20/10/2013 11:39

Yuuurrgh. He looks like he'd try snatching your handbag and then sniff some glue!
