    Jury's Out

    I have been looking forward to this show for months. I have to watch it all, mainly for Martha Plimpton who is a fine actress. I am of the same opinion as others, soundtrack great but plot is all over the place. At this point, I am curious as to Cindy - as she looked, I believed to be about 18 when we met her in episode 1. Now I am trying to get around the fact she was an adult with a child in 1979. Just how old is Cindy now? Determined to watch through to end. I hope though it is a complete series as it is somewhat painful to think there may be questions unanswered and a 2nd series is coming.

    Retro Fun

    A really good violent crime family story with the best of 80's nostalgia smacking you in the face. It's a camped up London Gangland, Costa del Sol and retro, yellow Rolls Royce ride. It's not particularly realistic or completely believable and it's not supposed to be. That doesn't mean it isn't gritty or a high quality production.

    The acting is top drawer - Jason Flemyng particularly puts in an exceptional performance.

    The show is full of twists and turns and I found it thoroughly entertaining and managed to binge watch it in a weekend.

    The sound track is phenomenal so get that sound bar plugged in.

    Gets Better after Ep3

    Didn't think I would like this having grown up in Bermondsey in the 70s and 80s but it is kind of fun the memories names clothing and music all from the Era bring back some happy memories.

    Love the primrose yellow corniche that seems to be the family run about.

    I didn't know any of the actors but they all seem to have a good list of shows under their belt.

    The story and motives are finally revealed in episode 4 giving you an excuse to finish off watching the series the acting may not be top notch but it is watchable

    Not for everyone but I'm enjoying it could there possibly be a 2nd series guess will have to see.

    Enjoy it for what it is

    A watchable, quirky 80s crime show .. the plot has more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese but the soundtrack makes up for it. Solid performances from Jason Flemyng and Martha Plimpton, (a very good actress) especially the former with his portrayal of Albert Lord - his dance moves are none too shabby either. This show is not looking to be the next Line of Duty but is instead a slightly left field take on the well churned out gangster show mixed with some dark comedy. If you like 80s music and dont take it too seriously you will find yourself watching all 8 episodes and smiling despite yourself.

    Not too bad really

    A family of petty thieves from South London decamp to Spain to profit from an unexpected windfall.

    I went into this viewing following checking the reviews on here, but I wanted to give this latest series of Love's a chance.

    Glad I did, it's not as bad as people here have said, granted it's not academy award worthy, but it is worth watching.

    The 80s music soundtrack is it's strength, along with some good acting, especially from, Flemyng, and, Sharif.

    Watch it, and enjoy, as said, it's not as bad as you make think, and that's why I have cast my rating as a solid 7 stars out of ten.

    If you loved the 80's, you'll like this more.
