One of the greatest things I have ever seen. I thought Snoop got arrested again, was she acquitted or is musical theatre some kind of work release program?

If you've seen the full program and have simply forgotten then look here:

Mori is talking about the actress playing Snoop. She was a real drug dealer/gangster.

I'm just going to have to bit the bullet and fork out for the boxset of this. Why? Because Sky are incapable of going two weeks without strawberry floating up the aspect ratio of the broadcast. strawberry floating gimps.

It's a show made for box-set. I could never have kept up with it on TV. A couple episodes a night over a few weeks is the perfect way to watch it.

Maury Levy really gets away with a lot in the show. Most people have some sort of comeuppance but in S1 he basically tells Avon and Stringer to kill people to stop themselves being vulnerable.

Levy is certainly the most despicable character in the show, which says an awful lot.

That's certainly an option and if I can't find the box set for around £30 soon that's what I'll do.

This must be about the 5th time I've watched S2 and I've never noticed before that the drunk from the detail in S1 is also in the initial group provided to investigate Sobotka :fp:
