Yeah you gotta stick with it.  When I started, for the first episode I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying.  The missus gave up with it straight away but I was determined to carry on.  Didn't take me long to get into it after that.  I like it because you dont' have to concentrate on it that much.  I can quite easily have a tourney on the go on the lappy and watch it at the same time.

Happy days.

I watched it on ninja while 4 tabling the first time and watching it again now on bbc 2 I realise I missed so much, Rawls in the background in the gay bar for example and the next scene that he's in he's calling everyone a cocksucker

this is the one show i'd refuse to be doing anything else while watching. everything about this show is incredible, the characters, casting, shooting etc is the bollocks - theres just so much happening that i dont need anything else to entertain me and id rather not be distracted. that and id struggle to understand a word if i was doing anything else

so fckin shit it's unreal

watch series one front to back and see if you feel the same. its not quite like other shows where each episode builds up to an ending, its more of a long-running saga, its not the simpsons!

The show is fantastic, but like the sopranos (which i love) at the end of each episode you look back and think not much happened.

The missus doesn't get it at all, but I liken it to reading a book when characters and stories develop much slower than say a movie.

it's storylines and characters are perfection, there a few bits i don't like as much as others but for me it's the best series i've ever watched by some distance.
