This City is Ours - is there a NO SPOILER thread for this?

I can't see one!

I binge-watched the first four episodes - it's great.

Started the first episode and left it after about 10 minutes thinking I didn't to watch something with thugs and 'glamorous' WAGS living off dirty drugs money but so glad I gave it another go.

It's all very super-stylish, as these are programmes are, but the acting is first class.

This City Is Ours

All Michael knows is crime, until he falls in love. Now he has something to lose - but how far will he go to keep it? Tense, gritty drama with Sean Bean and James Nelson-Joyce.

There is a no spoiler thread but that won't be any good if you've already binge watched the first 4

There is also a spoiler thread. Probably better on that one?

I've seen the spoiler thread but don't want to read about what happens next!

Just wanted to know what others think of it.

I'll find the no-spoiler, thanks.

I like it, I didn’t think I would but so far it’s very good. I think I’m on episode 4 now

We’ve watched it all, thought the acting of the actors excellent, and a very good storyline, although we now cannot stop singing Mack The Knife. I wouldn’t mind watching it again, to see anything in the plot I missed.

@IwantToRetire she said she's seen that one

Yes, not sure why you cant find it as it was only created yesterday. sigh

ie if you sort threads by newest you would have seen it as it was created a few hours before this.

What's with the sigh?

And as I said, I've seen the Spoiler thread.

Yes, love Mack The Knife and been humming along but that would be one of my few criticisms of the series.

It's a bit lazy and unimaginative to use all those Italian American Mafiosi songs from the 50s/60s as in Goodfellas etc - a bit like using stock photos.

I’ve watched the first 2 episodes. The acting is really good but am hoping the storyline isn’t as predictable as I think it will be i.e Michael and Jamie in a battle to run the business. But I do wonder if Michael’s wife (forget her name) is either undercover police or becomes the head of the gang?
