Lock, Stock TV Show
I was doing a bit of browsing on imdb.com and i found out that Guy Richie, who directs two of my fav films (Snatch and Lock Stock), helped create a TV show based on his movie Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (or somewhat related to it) that aired in the UK but never made it to the US.
The show only lasted 7-8 episodes but i was told it was very good. I'm thinking about buying the DVD of the short lived series and i was wondering if anyone had the chance to see the show before it was cancelled. if so was it any good?
Thank's ya'll.

Hi Mike,
I watched some of it. I seem to remember it was fairly good, not astonishing. It followed the Ritchie template: flashy camera tricks, plot twists and plenty o' one-liners. Worth checking out.

Good choice of films Mike, though Richies films since then have been pants.
I remember the series, my advice would be find out the price.
The first few were okay, say three episodes, after then it was pretty crap, hence no second series. Take into considerqation it was also on TV at the tip of the hype campaign with Richie after the success of Lock' Stock and Snatch. Like I say it's all down to price, if it's cheap enough, get it, if your expecting the same calibre as Lock Stock, forget it, watchable but that's as far as it goes.
