Ruddock was never going to play, but still featured prominently. He's just a fat prick. Is the clique just old washed up piss cans? Pretty much like the clique on here before they all fucked off! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was declared bankrupt a couple of years ago and twice attempted suicide. Credit to then, they weren’t shy about covering it in the programme. Merson has really gone up in my estimations with the help he gave to Hendrie, and at least attempted with that fat prick Ruddock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Finished the shield last night. I’m in a dilemma whether it replaces the wire as the best of all time. And I think it actually does. Phenomenal show. And what an ending. a year and it will be getting watched again going to restart the wire tonight as well. Been a while since I saw that. billions series 5 just started as well. Hopefully it’s as good as the first 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjhb Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Oz is good, but like you said, dated. The creator worked on David Simon's first show Homicide: Life on the Street. Simon, since the Wire, has done Generation Kill (miniseries about Marines in Iraq), Treme (show about musicians in New Orleans post-Katrina), the Deuce (the story of the Golden Age of Porn in NYC in the 70s) and The Plot Against America (alternate history drama set in backdrop of WW2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted May 21, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2020 Just finished 'The Last Dance'. Absolutely top class. Never been into Basketball but that's changed. Throughout the series I found myself pausing it and going on Wiki to research teams, players, managers, etc. Felt like when I was a kid with football and I could list all the League and cup winners. I've now more chance of telling you the winners of the Eastern and Western Conference in the NBA. Could probably tell you the name of the MVP every year (player of the year).

Marc505 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Up to episode 8 of Last Dance, he's some character Jordan isnt he. His foray into baseball I had no idea at all about.

Also knew the names of Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Shaqille O Neal, but that was about it. Oh and Dennis Rodman, reckon you could make a whole film about him, quiet but mad, fucking love him. Scottie Pippen, what a player he was in that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article in The Guardian makes him out to be a bit of a cunt. Pippen not happy with what he said about him. Anyway, Basketball is shite, on a par with Rugby League.....

Used to love both of those shows, was always a treat when TWS had football on from some obscure league for 20 seconds before going on to cross country skiing. I'd have totally wilted playing in a team with Jordan, takes a certain character to stand up to your own team mate destroying you verbally and physically in every session! Little Jerry takes a beasting a lot too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
