That did annoy me too! It was obviously meant to be a stencil piece and he was spraying at it like he'd done it freehand! Stupid.
I enjoyed the rest though. Although it felt very different to last week's, which was amazing.

Yeah, I thought so. Seemed like they consider a chav and a graffiti artist to be one and the same. Lazy.

Maybe I should check out the first one then.

Now HBO has gone to Sky they will probably have to add in a "previously on the Wire" expository montage before each episode. Or maybe cutting in some new scenes of Fremon and McNulty in the bar explaining the plot.
Oi Sky left BSG and Lost unmolested!

At first I thought he was meant to be Banksy (or someone like Banksy) because it was so good. Then I realised he was just your average chav, which was disappointing.

Maybe he'd done the stencil, then was adding some extra bits freehand.
A little disappointing after the brilliant first episode, the plot seemed a bit obvious, in that there didn't seem to be a "I didn't see that coming" moment and it seemed to drag on a bit (a Chinese drag on maybe?).
Still, I thought it had some excellent performances again from the main leads and I always enjoy seeing Zoe Telford (I have a bit of a thing for redheads), also a couple of amusing moments with Holmes turning up at Watson's date.
Thought the ending was a little bit silly but I like the fact that Moriarty has been an unseen presence and will look forward to the last episode, hoping that they do a few more.

Okay, we'll go with that.
He was ruining it though.
It's an entertaining show, but there's no reason for it to be 90 mins. A series of 6 hour long shows would be much better.

I think the first episode suited the length fine, last nights just felt too slow, though. But yes, I'd prefer hour long episodes.

My thoughts too. Although episode 1 seemed fine at that length.
Good old Columbo could do 2 hour slots for weeks at a time. Perhaps Holmes needs a dirty raincoat and a dead wife?
(Oh and a gammy eye).

An hour and a half does feel a bit long for a TV show, though. To me anyway. It means you're in for a long haul.

You've been spoiled by the internet and piratebay.
