dubai_phil Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 HBO's big new US blockbuster series has been advertised as being on down here for what seems like ages. Imagine my surprise when I tuned in and found it to be filmed in Northern Ireland (& Malta) and with pretty much an all British cast. An olde & chubby looking Sean Bean doing the sword waving in a sort of Medieval Fantasy with severed heads a spinning, more swearing than I'd have thought & good grief nudity all over the place (& on telly HERE!) Looked like a typical but big budget Beeb type series but no, all the credits are HBO stylee. So, Wednesday nights now booked for (what for us) amounts to a good dose of Violence and Porn, and possibly a ripping yarn as well 1st Episode had me thinking I'd missed a load of episodes but no, it all came good and seems quite promising. Any reviews for it up that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swannymere Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 I was surprised by the nudity as well, not that i'm against it. Justified series 2 starts on Five USA tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK that helps, but was it on EU US or the ME sat channel where you saw it? They said it was showing the same time as US when advertising but I wondered if it had hit Sky yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
