The Slap was on tonight. Really liked it. Amongst other things it was uncomfortable. Looking forward to next week.Member 7167 wrote:The Slap looks quite interesting.

I have also recently been watching a series called The Circuit which is based on the Aboriginal Legal Service in Broome. The theme is quite soap opera but the social aspect is quite confronting.
decent new TV series

Did you ever see "The Wire"? Fantastic TV.stui magpie wrote:had a look at the plot for that "The Slap". Not interested.
Last TV series I watched all of and enjoyed on the ABC was Sweet and Sour.

Yeah, I reckon its one of the best I've ever seen - the only series I've ever purchased. Still to watch series 5. I watch them with my wife when we go on holidays & take them with us if we stay in hotels etc. This year no hols so probably next year.The Prototype wrote:I watched the first few seasons of The Wire, looked pretty good, I may have to rent the rest of them on DVD.

I wouldn't bother with it if I were you tp. If you have trouble understanding SoA you'll have no hope with the Wire. I have perfect hearing but I had to turn on the subtitles sometimes. Those Baltimore accents are a killer!think positive wrote:cop show??
Great show, but.
