Just finished watching this series after watching the film and haven’t seen any discussion on here since it was announced/started airing so though it was worth making a post. Has anyone seen it and have any thoughts?

I was a bit sceptical going in given the poor reviews and unlikelyhood of the series living up the original film, and the first episode almost seemed a laughably bad imitation of the film. However, I preserved to see where it went and actually ended up quite enjoying it & left wanting more by the end. The series has some good performances (notably Don and his sister), decent characters, and a plot with enough to keep you interested. It’s a shame that a second season seems unlikely given the poor critic reviews and underwhelming reception. If an entertaining British gangster show sounds appealing, I challenge you to not be invested by the end of the series.
