.....worth a punt? Haven't seen any of it before but have heard good words said about it (trouble is I can't remember who / if they have reliable taste).
It's OK but I'd say Rome, The Wire and the Sopranos are all better offerings by HBO
The language is really choice and Lovejoy's Ian McShane proves to be a pretty good actor. I enjoyed series One but struggled after that as it gets very samey after a while. Not dissing it though.
DON'T buy Season 1 for £17! YOu probably already know this, but it's going for £13 on Amazon - and I've seen in cheaper than that if you hang/look around. You can get all 3 seasons for £29 on Amazon which seems like a bit of a bargain. I only know because it's a series I keep meaning to watch - supposed to be amazing! £29 is a lot for a blind buy, but if it's only a tenner more than what you're paying for 3 times the content it seems a good deal!
