Now that this is streaming on Netflix I've decided to finally watch it, although had I know it stars Idris Elba I would not have waited as long. It actually creates a nice juxtaposition for the actor as I've only ever seen him play drug kingpin Russell 'Stringer' Bell in the HBO series The Wire. It's kind of cool seeing him play an English character, it feels more natural, although he nailed the Baltimore accent and American gangster slang. Also I gotta love it when a Massive Attack song is used as an opening track.

Thanks for reminding me about that. I stumbled across that awhile ago and I've been meaning to watch it.

I'm guessing you haven't seen Idris in Rock n Rolla

Nah, after the disappointment that was Revolver I don't really bother much with Guy Ritchie movies.

I need to re-watch Revolver but I remember loving it.

Give Rock n Rolla a shot though, you may like it for Idris Elba's performance alone.

This show starring Courtney Cox called "Dirt" and its' pretty ****ing good, not gonna lie. I thought it was going to be cheesy lame, but from the first episode I was hooked. Courtney looks weird though, all bony and I'm just like, "Man, where's Monica?!" Or something. It's a shame that this show didn't last past twenty episodes. **** is intense.

But then again, I frequently get into television shows that I find really good. My emotions explode.

An Australian show about a guy who perceives his girlfriend's dog as a creepy guy in a dog suit even though everyone else apparently sees the dog as just a dog. Pretty dark (surprisingly so for a show featuring a man in a dog suit) but also pretty funny. I've only watched a couple episodes so far but I'm really enjoying it.

I have an episode on my dvr but I've been hearing negative things about it. I don't think it's going to last tbh.

I saw the first episode and decided to skip the rest.

oh man I used to watch this show faithfully but it was a guilty pleasure, I didn't want to admit how much I enjoyed it to others.

I need a few dryly funny and sarcastic comedies to look into. Any suggestions?

Psychoville and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, perhaps.
