I'm glad to see a few people watched it last night. I'm also amazed at the fact that the beeb didnt cut any of it. The F word, the MF word and the N word feature regularly in the script. Sometimes those words pepper the conversation.
Last nghts episode if viewed on its own is a little confusing but never the less very intruiging. The show takes about five episodes to get going, with the first four episodes doing a great deal of character development. Then the viewers start to get pay back for their patience. And when the payback finally comes it makes the show absolutely rivetting - I found it hard to watch the first few shows but by the time I got to episode 7 or 8 I was watching them one after another.
Keep watching and when the show gets going I'm sure you'll all enjoy it.
For those that missed it, heres a synopsis of the first episode of the Wire -
