.....on the telly, looks absolute shite.

Apparently it has been on in the US for a year or so, finally worked it's way over here but it looks turd. Am I wrong?

Wife's got a couple on the sky+, she likes the sound of it. Looks shite to me too though.

Only one episode so far. Twas good. How's about giving it a chance before slagging it off?

I said it 'looks' shite.

I was waiting on some opinions before giving it a go.

I watched the first 10 mins, couldn't get into it, looked a bit too violent for me.

I've got the first episode on magic sky but think I might need someone in the house with me to tell me when I can come from out behind the cushions.

charlie brooker in the Guardian suggests it's not as good as all the hype with what could be the best opening paragraph of a TV review ever written.

I enjoyed Charlie Brooker's dissection of pop song paedophilia and revenge murder in todays Guardian too. Much so than Dexter. Watch the Wire instead, repeated on FX from next week.

Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe is the best thing on TV at the moment.

...much of which hype came from the previous week's issue of the Guardian Guide!

Brooker's a fine writer. But no matter how much he insists (and the selfsame column acknowledges this) I just can't get into The Wire.

Have watched the first 4 episodes and I can just see the committee who thought it up now

"People like CSI....hmmm.. what can we do with that?"

"Let's make it DARKER"

"Replace the skilled CSIs with a murderer!?!!"

"You've just won us an Emmy"

Avoid.
