The best drama ever made for TV or Movies

Kings of Birmingham

Do you still think Paul is a zombie?

I really enjoyed the first season, which has several intriguing storylines, diverse characters and a fresh stylistic slant. But watching the first episode of season two, I experienced a sudden and total loss of interest. I think the clincher was the scene in which two women, out to kill each other, decide instead to sit down and slam a bottle of booze on the table. Unlike their subsequent drinks, I found it hard to swallow. Not just the fact that this is a standard Peeky Blinder set piece - the hard talk over hard liquor - but because it was so improbable.

One of the cardinal rules of story telling is that the audience should never think, "Oh look, they're making that up just to keep the story going," but that was how I felt about the little I saw of season two. Sorry, roscoe: if they'd stopped at one season, your rather exaggerated "Best drama series ever" claim could be argued I suppose, but with the creaky machinations of plot the writers are using to push their characters into season two, it falls "dramatically" short imo.

Hey you remembered me?

I must have made an impression.

You were blocked because I considered you pond life. I see you haven't changed. Life's too short to bother with you. You're blocked again.

Well for me it got better and better. Season two got darker and darker.

But hey, feel free to put people who call you out on ignore like a bitch who can't actually defend his views. I just want a good seat when you have your next meltdown.
