How about the extremists on both sides are twats

The vast majority in the middle are decent folk who just wanted to live in peace

Is the right answer.

My Mum is a Proddy from Belfast and my Dad is Catholic who served over there in the British army.

Some of the stories they tell about life over there in the early 70s are eye openers. When you think what life was like for us over here when we were their age.

My Grandad knew Paisley quite well, so when he heard a rumour she was seeing a Catholic boy (before meeting my Dad who he never found out that he was Catholic) he had him come round to give her a good bollocking at home.

Aye, apparently he bellowed into her face "No good will come of it, do you want your children to be Papish!"

 

I don't think I'd ever seen or heard the word "Papish" before hearing that story, or indeed afterwards

Mr Mercedes. Stephen King adaptation
First series is brilliant, just started 2nd series.

First series is without doubt the best 

Second and third are more what you'd expect from Stephen King though they deviate away from the books 

Episode 2 of The Troubles. Pretty much summed up by casino’s comment. Interesting how the IRA in the North took control away from those in the South. Those fighting for a united Ireland taken over by those with a “fuck the British” attitude is the way that I’m reading it. McGuiness and Adams not coming out well so far (unsurprisingly) but British government appears to have been weak

We are enjoying The Capture on the Beeb.

Watched I-Land on Netflix, 7 episodes of absolute shit - avoid at all costs.

Series 3 of Top Boy was belting though.

First series was belting and then youre right its started believing its own publicity and more far fetched every  series. Who can they take on next i mean the mafia, IRA,Secret Service, Russians, East End gangs, now Glasgow mob all no match for the brummies. 

 

 

Just finished Unbelievable.

Pretty good.

Don't let me put you off, many many people still love it (careful mentioning it on Twitter like I have though as I've woken up to find 50+ notifications today tagging me into heated debates between neo-fascists)

I just feel like it's become a prime example of style over substance, slow motion gratuitous violence, self-obsessed and really, this season especially, not a right lot has actually happened.

I hope the proposed series the same creator is doing about the early years of the SAS doesn't go the same way.

I’ll still probably watch it, nothing worse than binging a show and it gets worse though.
