Really enjoyed the series, even though it went over the top, a few too many times.

Speaking of being late to the game Mrs MWS insisted I watch this with her. Through gritted teeth I obliged - It’s excellent!

The creeping sense of dread in both seasons is excellent.

Indeed, the ‘offkeyness’ of it all musically really had me looking round corners. The cinematography and acting is excellent the writing is exceptional. Just finished season 1 - There will be a binge of S2!

Also enjoyed the references to the hydra-gas suspension system which I spent 6 months of my life fixing for BMW as it was costing them a fortune in dealer warranty.

Biggest pile of shite you could ever watch. He was an evil wee prick who managed to convince the very, very, hard of thinking he was some sort of semi folk hero. He deserves zero respect, how the fck he got someone to make a film portraying him as a Glesga Gangster Braveheart I have no fckin idea. I’m a big fan of Martin Compston but I struggle to understand why he took that part knowing he would portray such an arsehole in a positive light.

It’s hardly the first film to glamourise some low-life gangster and it certainly won’t be the last.

I didn’t watch it expecting a factual documentary on the Glasgow underworld, I hoped it might provide a modicum of entertainment which it did, albeit only just.

For every ‘biopic’ gangster movie there’s a victim or a family affected by their bullshit.
