Edward Horni-man? Really? 😂

The chicken dance is inhumanly degrading but I have no sympathy for Freddy. He’s an idiot. What he did to Tommy Dixon at the end of this episode, it’ll be up to Eddie to clean up his mess, again! 

Susie Glass is supposed to be a bad guy as she’s running a criminal enterprise but I like her. Her skills complimented Eddie’s. They’ll make a good team.

I don't think she's running it, more like middle management. I don't know if Mickey's still the shot caller here, but she definitely has a boss.

I sort of liked this, but wished that they had dialed it down a little, mainly the character of the eldest son.

I actually found it more subdued than the film.

Well, I for one, am very glad to see some Guy Ritchie crazy toons on my little screen. This was big fun, at least the first ep was, and I have just subscribed to Netflix for the sole purpose of seeing more.

I don't blame the father at all for skipping Freddy over. He should have probably been kicked out all together, Eddie's going to be cleaning  up his messes for ever.

Just tuning in. It’s Breaking Bad meets Brideshead Revisited. With Giancarlo Esposito to make it stick. I never saw the movie and I usually dislike Guy Ritchie. But this is good.

Finally getting around to watching this series. I liked that they have Giancarlo Esposito as the very rich American who makes his money selling meth. Did Gus somehow cheat Death, get some serious plastic surgery, change his name and ser up in England? :-)

FWIW, I ended up disliking this series.  I stopped after episode 2.

FWIW, I thoroughly enjoyed this series & I'm looking forward to the new season.
