And there's just a lot of dialogue going nowhere.
It's like they're just trying to get all the characters in but there's zero storyline.
Hope it gets better, so much hype for this programme.

I know exactly what you mean, I suppose it was just to develop and introduce the new characters. Storyline will kick in with episode 2 or 3.

I agree. Too much comedy as well. Not a great start but I hope it gets better

I loved the comedy and dialogue between the characters and you just know it's going to go so dark at some point so you should just enjoy the light comic relief for now.
Plot wise though I agree not much happened but on the Plus side there was comedy, fights, drugs the lot.

Like the previous series, I think the first episode always plants the seeds that grow really quickly as the episodes go on. Even the smallest details in the firs episode I think are going to be vital as the series goes on.

"Like Tears In The Rain"

This is Shane Meadows, not Dennis Potter.
