Fact is Trimbole & Terry Clarke never knew each other, until a month after Donald Mackay was murdered.

Credibility of the show goes out the window right there.

I can't believe how slow this show is.
We have had 7/8? episodes so far and its gone 3 years (1976-79)!
With all the mindless padding there, the story could have been done in 3-4 episodes.

I watched an episode of The Wire on DVD the other night. When it finished I saw Ch 9 was half way through an episode of Underbelly so I started watching. Then I stopped.
The difference in quality between the 2 was stark to say the least and the dialogue in UB was frickin awful. It just comes across as sensationalist, exploitative rubbish. Nobody in it comes across as a person, they're all just caricatures and stereotypes.

The Wire is a very well done show though. Up there with Sopranos in my eyes.

It just highlighted the difference between a really great show and a not really great show.

Sopranos was ok up unitl the final episode. That was quite possible the worst ending of a TV show I have seen. Cant believe they took the easy way out.
For a great TV series and a great ending to a TV series watch Life on Mars the UK version.

Sopranos dropped off in the last series or two, but hey if you didn't follow Deadwood you don't know disappointment. Talk about a disappointing conclusion. Although to be fair, it got cancelled without the chance to end things right. There was talk of a movie but nothing as yet. Swearengen needs closure I tells ya.

I didn't mind the ending, just because it left so many questions un-answered. They are still planning to make a movie, at least as far as I know.
