White Lines - Netflix

[VanillaIce]

On episode 5 and enjoying it. Love boxer one problem - wtaf is with the incestuous mother/son relationship

Also PLEASE tell me Zoe fucks him?

 

[Woopsagain]

Yeah I was looking on an Ibiza forum earlier and someone said 99% of it is Mallorca, even the airports etc

Totally agree.
Watch it makes me want a holiday so bad.

[Casperron]

yes it is not for everyone. It promotes drugs and sex.

What’s wrong with sex

 

[Vanillaco]

Im on episode 5 of this. The English characters are all dreadful middle aged twats who haven't grown up. I'm losing interest in them. I had a bloody great time in the 90's and probably behaved idiotically quite a lot. I'm not still moronic 20 years later
I still like the Spanish characters. the subtitled bits are more interesting.

 

[barrrlohflaughs]

I feel like this would have been more enjoyable if the lead actress hadn’t been so shite. Daniels mays is comedy gold and don’t get me started on boxer Going to watch dead to me next.

Agreed, she was rubbish!

I’ve just finished watching dead to me, I really enjoyed it!

 

[Casperron]

That Axel really creeped me out. Yuck I just got the creeps looking at him.
And who from Manchester would call their son Axcel in 1996. Humm

Totally agree I thought both of them things
The heroin scene

Apparently there’s going to be a season 2

Yay. More Boxer

[Greys1324]

I really wasn’t a fan! I got into at the beginning but I just felt that they dragged it out for too long and had to many pointless storylines going on at once!

 

[DoctorWho]

Would anyone have watched this right through were it not for the beautiful locations and boxer??

no haha

 

[Casperron]

Just watched up to episode 5 last night.
am I enjoying ummm I am not sure but going to watch the rest today. It does not really show a lot of Ibiza only Ibiza town we keep trying to recognise where they have filmed and are not having much luck.
It's our dream to go live in Ibiza ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It’s filmed in mallorca

 

[ChelsLou]

Just started watching, not loving it & completely puzzled how they couldn’t find an actress from Manchester to play Zoe That’s gonna bug me!

I’ll admit that bugged me too! You can hear her true accent (she’s from London) come through at times. It just really threw me off

I thought she was from Yorkshire at first. I knew she def wasn’t from Manchester. Stupid casting!

 

[Horatio]

It seems to be that sort of programme where you just go with it and ignore the terrible characterisation and plot holes! Yes I thought they explained it away as a 'reputation' thing. Maybe I'm assuming the family are drug dealers or dodgy in some way so have done a lot worse than killing some English kid that was shagging their daughter/ sister. The douchey dj was another random person who was accused of killing Axel.

You’re right, I’m not going to waste mental energy trying to discern some kind of carefully plotted story arc The Sopranos this aint. But it’s so dreadfully silly, It does have its own charm. also knowing for sure the show is on in the joke and not taking itself too seriously - the car chase and speaker torture kind of confirmed that - I am sort of enjoying it . Oh and have we discussed Laurence Fox’s character?! He’s so ridiculous he might be the funniest thing in it., the northern accent is the icing on the cake - is he meant to be one of axels friends from Manchester? Or is he some random other fella I’m lost on that too?
and what the hell is happening with the guy she shot with the harpoon who switched and kicked her out ..? Tho I am guessing I’ll work that out by the end of the epsiode... tho you never know. What’s his name again?

 

[twilightgarden]

Finished it the other day.
Thought it was too many episodes and the main girl ended up really annoying me.
Ending was a bit rubbish too.

 

[Platypusfattypus]

yes it is not for everyone. It promotes drugs and sex.

Im all for that esp if it involves Boxer

 

[Red hair]

Some really good dark humour, and one liners.
Really enjoyed it, binged it in one weekend. Great escapism.
Last thing I did this for was Riviera, European drama too.
Boxer, phew!

 

[Horatio]

some people are asexual or they just don't like sex.

That’s not a good reason to criticise a show for depicting it! I thought you’d at least say it promotes irresponsible, meaningless sex or something. Not that I think simply showing drug taking let alone sex is any kind of criticism. It shows murder too, and a man disrespecting his father...: so ? It’s a story? It’s fine to be asexual but by the same token it’s also fine to have sex and show it onscreen, the thing that made all of us,from time to time. Even if most of us weren’t conceived in an orgy !

I’ve almost finished the second epsiode and thought i was going to give up but from scanning here (scanning to avoid spoilers) I’ve hesitantly decided to carry on. As a guilty pleasure don’t get me wrong, this show is ludicrous. The plot makes no sense , some of the character motivations are bizarre to say the least. The dialogue is 2/3 exposition. (Love how we’ve got Axel.s court case to explain his character and Zoe’s therapist sessions to explain hers)Lots of the salacious stuff is funny - just had the scene with the priest and the mother of the rich family...the Romanian drug dealers are total cliches... this is all scratching the surface. It is fun though. That’s the point of a guilty pleasure isn’t it ? Fun - oh and plenty of sex, drugs and a smattering of cartoonish violence / threats “get me the drugs and money in 24 hours!”
But you get the feeling it knows a bit how stupid it is. The car chase at the start of ep3 is ludicrous but then subverts expectations to take the piss. Still though, it’s soo dumb . And that script -“I’m going to Ibiza for a while little sis” , come with me and let’s go in the middle of night right now without telling anyone ok? That’s normal...Ah it’s great

 

[Team JCM]

OMG the dark humour in this is brilliant
