I've seen the entire first season and I loved every childish moment of it.

What Rob said.

And I won't be the only saying that in here.
Exercise is to the body what reading is to the mind.

"If I hadn't doped, I would never have won". "Doping improves your performance between 5 and 7 per cent, and maybe 10 to 12 per cent when you are in a peak shape.

"Doping isn't addictive but it's an instrument of power: whoever wins attracts the money; for themselves, the team and the sponsors"

Saw the 1st episode yesterday.  Enough violence in there to make me keep watching - especially the sauce bottle.  The bad guy looks decent enough as well.

Yeah it's good fun to watch, obviously meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. The fight scene with the MMA fighter is fucking gruesome!

The comic book violence was ok...the comic book acting less so..unfortunately it was the unconvincing lead character (part Gareth Bale part Dick & Dom) that wouldnt allow me to suspend my disbelief long enough to accept the programme's ludicrous central premise...

The albino bloke in the one the other night was a nice bit of over the top violence.  It holds my interest - unlike Revolution which it has to be said is piss poor

Enjoy the first series and its nicely set up for season 2.Good watch,especially the fight scenes bar one which seemed far fetched which if you`ve seen it you`ll know the one i`m talking about.

Kai Proctor is boss aswell  :)
That right peg hits it and you see the future arc of the ball and time goes al gluey like a Dali painting, and for a second there's a 20yr old StevenGerrard and your young self cheering him on through the prism. His big smile fades in an the net is shivering and J.Hart's trying not to look grateful for the privilege of being that close to greatness

Can't wait for this, 1 of the most under-rated/under-watched shows.

Thought season 1 was great, and started to watch it again just last week in preparation.

Loving the 2nd series so far...also liking the fact "Hood" can't beat up every fucker no matter so hard as nails he is!

Fit chicks everywhere....massive brawls (yes brawls)...tits and ass all over the shop...and a gun fight round every corner! What more do you want in a tv show?

Just finished watching the second episode of season one. I'm not one of these evil fuckers who laugh at people with troubles or disabilities. In real life, I would never in a million years laugh at a kid in an iron lung or on a respirator or something. I once even shed a tear when I saw a young lad drop a bag of candy that was clearly dear to him. But I have to say, when I saw the young fella with that breathing apparatus slung over his mouth, slumped in that chair, out of the blue like ... I mean, what the actual fuck. And then there was that teen at the rave that looked like a young Socrates (the Brazilian, not the Athenian), having a fit with the bad ecstasy. It was a bundle of laughs, I'm afraid. I'm trying to enjoy this series for what it is - I'm just not sure yet if it's a pisstake. Onwards and upwards I guess. Or downwards. I've got fuck all else to do.

It's trash, highly enjoyable trash. You either go with it or switch it off. The premise is ridiculous, the episodes are ridiculous. The acting isn't bad, but it's not great. It's contrived, and there is far more nudity and violence than needed. If you've seen Spartacus, it's on that level. 9/10 programmes I watch are brilliant pieces. Now and then I want McNasty's rather than the Ritz.

Yeah, they do - I just happened to notice it after the first season's 2nd episode, so I stayed tuned and they always do it. I can't really remember anything crucial that they have revealed there or anything - usually it is just an atmospheric moment or something to show a bit more of a character's personality.

The strangest thing has happened...Ive actually starting looking forward to, and enjoying each epsiode  :o


one of the most improved series on the box for me.......bit darker and at times slower paced than the first season but still keeping the B Movie/trash ethic going...shagging quota has reduced drastically though...sort it out Hood!  8)
