Wild Bill ("A godforsaken cabbage patch")

Postby Samoan » 11 Jun 2019, 12:13

I'm greatly looking forward to Rob Lowe TV tomorrow in ITV1's Wild Bill (for which the former West Wing star is also an executive producer.)
Tune in on Wednesday at 9pm BST. Routine carrying of firearms will not feature.

Nonsense to the aggressiveness, I've seen more aggression on the my little pony message board......I mean I was told.

I love this programme, quite unlike any cop show made anywhere on the globe.
It's still strange to see Lowe of The Brat Pack and The West Wing in a senior British police officer's uniform and doing the job in bucolic Boston, Lincolnshire. It's somewhat eccentric and wackadoodle, plenty of great characters and dialogue peppered with bon mots delivered in deadpan voices while dealing with the gamut, including murder, of countryside crimes.

The earlier reviews I read were not very enthusiastic, and it has been shedding viewers, but as I like Rob Lowe I decided to give episode 4 a go. It wasn’t appalling but it certainly wasn’t great either. Rob seemed emotionless and disinterested. There’s so much better stuff on tv I doubt I’ll be watching another episode.
The house that Clete’s musician friend had told him about was a sun-faded pink art deco place stuck back in a cove where a desiccated shrimp boat lay on its side in a slough overgrown with vines and palm and persimmon trees.

I thought this was going to be about the doc on William "Wild Bill" Wellman.
