I wondered if anyone else was watching this!  I love Cillian Murphy and he's absolutely stunning in this.   The new series has Tom Hardy as well.  I don't like it anywhere near as much as Sherlock, but it's enjoyable and very stylish.

It is a completely different beast from Sherlock. A friend's partner who is elderly but whose background is rather 'dodgy' let us say, loves it. He finds it very, very accurate to the sort of things that went on. Tom Hardy will, no doubt, be stunning (he always is). It is a violent show but not gratuitously so. The cinematography, costuming, sets etc. are very good. High production values here and acting of the highest standard.

Anyone? Anyone watched season/series 3. God, if you haven't watched this show you really, really should. Not for the faint-hearted it is violent, has sex, drugs (and rock 'n' roll) and very strong language. It is wonderfully written, wonderfully acted, has a great cast, super costuming, stunning use of music and camerawork. I cannot recommend this show too highly. It exudes class!
