Think we have a couple of Shane Meadow fans on here like myself.
Anyone get to check out the latest installment of 'This is England'
First episode was aired tonight, really liked it.
The man is a genius.

Yeah, it was good. I have to say though, that the original this is England film seemed a lot darker, while these new series that have been aired, try to focus on making it funny. I prefer it darker. There are still the dark moments of course. The rape scene in this is England 86 was horrific. Things like that should be the foundation of the show.
How ugly are the women on the show though. Yuck!

I know I was mentioning it to my brother last night, there's no good looking women what so ever. The girl who plays Sean's current girlfriend(can't spell her name) has the most strangest of faces I have ever seen. It's almost annoying to look at, poor Sean . I think your right, Meadows seems to be playing for laughs in the TV series. I think it's to do with the audience which will be watching the show, it may not be such a hit if it constantly dealt with depressing issues there's enough depression in england at the moment. I really appreciate Meadows work, he's a director who's not afraid to do something different and break the boundaries. I wouldn't be surprised if he's more restricted this time, with it being on national TV.
