Best Boys? or ? I forget. . .


This (for me) was one of the more tension filled episodes. I felt sorry for the two guys because they were so messed up, but I couldn't help but yell "Yes!!!" at the ending.

This is one of my favourite episodes, I love John Simm and I thought the relationship between the two leads was very touching and emotional. Plus they are both so hot!

I know they did some bad stuff ( to put it mildly after what happened to the SW) but I really had a lot of empathy for them both, probably more than any other killers in the series. I thought the end was tragic :o( :o(

Really late answer but I just watched this episode after years;
I was probably the age of Bill the first time I watched 'Best Boys' and I remember for the first time, with the perps in Cracker, kind of wishing the two would ride away in the sunset together. I know that sounds crazy. I mean, they were actually a toxic duo. Bill would have never been able to pull off a murder without Grady and Grady would certainly never have committed one with out Bill. However, the episode made me empathize with Bill's rage and Grady's need to protect Bill kind of melted my heart.
So I had the opposite reaction to the ending; I was yelling "NO!"
