"It's just dirty rock & roll and it reminds me of good times in the van with The Verve. They were our halcyon days if you like; driving round the UK taking lots of speed and rocking the place basically. It's a good time record. It's a destructive record, but I think we probably felt like that at the time. We felt destructive. It's about not giving a fuck really. When I was digging back into the past, this was one of the treasures."

Dark but with a twisted sense of humour
After seeing a trailer on netflix (in the UK) it sold it for me on the get go, this show is dark, twisted, funny, drink and drug fueled action.

One scene that stands out is when the main protagonist is playing cards and happy is around, i wont spoil it but when you get there, you will be dying with laughter.

This show was well and truly the start of a new fantastic branch of British Comedy. I cannot translate why this show is so fantastic in words, and I also believe that anyone from outside the UK will not be able to translate the humour into any words - or sense at that.

The thing is, it's not even that funny, however, I still cannot get myself to turn it off once I've put it on. It's just bizarre but so great.

Nope ... not for me ... hard to feel anything for any of the characters and hard to get into - sorry but I found it pretty boring and I can't bring myself to recommend it although there are plenty of very positive and 4 and 5 star reviews out there so obviously it appeals to others so don't take my word for it ... try it for yourself.

Thank you to Penguin UK - Michael Joseph via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.
