For those of you too brainless not to be watching this by now -- what the F not??

This is just an awesome show, mixing comedy and drama looking at a gang of expert con men in modern day London. It's midway thru its 5th season (I think here in the states it technically airs on AMC, but I always just get it via torrent). Adrian Lester plays the ring leader (the young black kid from "Primary Colors"), and he was actually absent for the whole 4th season but he's back full time now. Though they have switched out this year two other supporting cast members who had been there from the start.

Basically, if you liked anything about the OCEAN'S 11 film franchise, think the very best of that (if not better) in TV series form. What's cool is you get a genuine full 55 or so minutes of show each week, but as seems so often with BBC series each "season" is so damn short, each one's only been 6 episodes and then it's gone for another year. But every individual one has high production value looking very cinematic.

wow... really? After all this time, STILL nothing?

Funny thing is they're in the middle of their 7th go now, and last week the 3rd episode was easily one of their worst, and after a fairly tepid 7th season premiere in January, I was starting to wonder if it wasn't best to just put her to bed now, have it run its course. Then whammo -- they come back with 7x04 yesterday, it was great. Whereas in 7x03 what was supposed to be the big third act twist I saw coming from about 15 minutes in, here in this newest one there was a shocker towards the end that got me completely, totally blindsided.

Anyway this is a small clip from the pilot episode
