It was OK, not a patch on Kin or Gangs of London, which is what I was expecting but still watchable.
Agree some of the casting/accents were questionable only one of the female roles is played by someone born in Liverpool (Melissa)
Losing Stephen Walters so early on was a big mistake, he’s a fantastic actor.

Thought the actors playing Bonehead and Banksey did a fab job and there is something about James Nelson Joyce 😍 I’ll be googling what else he’s been in and watching them now.

Paul Usher is a great shout by the way. Maybe next series he could be cast.

He’s in Time and Little Boy Blue if you haven’t seen those.
Jack McMullen (Jamie) is also in both of those

Really enjoyed this though agree with the poster above that it’s not as gripping as Kin or Gangs of London. Gives me my crime/gangster fix though. I can’t work out if I find Michael extremely attractive or a bit odd looking. I also read (in the Corrie thread I think) that Jamie looks like a young Kevin Webster and now I can’t unsee it 😂

God he does look like Kevin Webster! Michael would look better without the turkey teeth
 
I don’t think I’ve seen him do another accent ever 🤣
Have you never seen Patriot Games? :ROFLMAO: I love Sean Bean but he cannot do accents, they seem to have given up making him now. I can just imagine the conversation "Sean Bean, er yeah, don't worry about it pal, Sheffield accent will be fine, cheers :ROFLMAO:"

Stephen Graham is in series 1 as well 😊
I watched all of Series 1 of Time last night, when I clicked on it on Iplayer there was 30 odd minutes left of episode 1 so I must have attempted to watch it in the past.

So many of the actors from it have gone on to be in This City Is Ours, think I counted five.

Yeah I also agree. Michael has that sculptured look; like the face of a high fashion model. But when his hair is shorter/skin head, he looks like a wrong'un haha

I ended up binge watching it and it wasn't too bad, I left realism out of the picture pretty early on. Wish they wouldn't have gone for the typical trope of nobody liking the bosses son though. Seems to be a theme in loads of Gangster films and series. It kind of reminded me of a mix of Love/Hate and Kin.
