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.
