I was responding to your comment but the recommendation was more directed at Ped. I'm aware you don't seem to like the BBC version, but I think she might. If it's confusing or annoying her with all the politics, I was just pointing out that, in general, the BBC version doesn't rely quite as heavily on that as apparently the US one does. Put Urquhart in any other sphere, any place of power - corporation, union boss, police commissioner, general, pope - he would act the same, and so it's more about the man than about the position or the politics.

And those traits carry onto the American series, but go ahead and describe the premise of the show to me a few more times just to be thorough.

So that's one, let's get a few more in.

I have literally no idea what you're talking about. You said "keep telling me the premise" and I made it clear that I'm not telling you about it, I'm telling Ped, who I believe has not yet seen it. If she wishes to try it, I'm encouraging her by advising her what it's built around. What about that is so hard to understand? She started the topic by mentioning HoC, you said you don't like it, I'm talking to her reagrdless of what you think of the show, so why you still think my comments are aimed at you, when I've told you twice they're not, I'm at a loss to understand.

There's the second explanation, a couple more now.

Guerilla. I missed out on this mini series. I am going to start it up tonight after watching Snowden.

My point isn't that Frown has a problem with the series, it's that he seems to keep answering my comments as if they're directed at him, which they're not. I get he doesn't like either; I guess you don't either. I'm just letting Ped know she might enjoy the BBC version more. She might not, I'm just letting her know it might be worth a shot. I really have to make a point of watching the US version, but here it's only on Netflix and, of course, I have the region issue which Netflix are really hardass about, so it ain't easy.

Oh you thought I was replying to your posts? I was posting a series of non sequiturs. Just because I quote your post doesn't mean I'm responding to it, don't be so self centered. Those comments were for me only.
