peasy23 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Finished season 2 of Sex Education. Excellent series. Delighted they are making more. Was looking at the Wiki page for the show and it turns out that the actor who plays Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) actually went to Dunfermline High School and would be just a few years below me. Good interview with him here: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/jan/05/ncuti-gatwa-i-will-say-yes-to-anything-sex-educationI had no idea of his Scottish upbringing either until I saw a programme on BBC Scotland called Black and Scottish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 It's totally because of Escobar. He's such a fascinating character, the others are just standard issue gangsters.Have you watched El Patron de Mal? It's a bit of a slog at times but interesting to see the Columbian side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, LIVIFOREVER said: Wish they'd do an El Chapo Narcos series like the Escobar ones, two of them are legendary in their escapades. El Chapo liked his escaping through tunnels like Escobar too. I reckon there will be a third Mexico series. It has far too much potential not to be done. Reckon it would blow the first two series out the water, too. Ep 9 & 10 were very decent though. 58 minutes ago, MixuFixit said: Escobar had an element of Robin Hood about him even if he was a terrifying monster. Chapo is a half decent watch. Ham acting though. You're spot on about Escobar. It's hard not to love the mad rogue. Edited February 21, 2020 by Dele 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair few kids in the school I taught in mentioned him as someone they wanted to emulate, not in terms of drug trafficking usually but more the sort of Robin Hood, man of the people type thing. I think his brazenness was such a big part of it - his corruption was getting himself elected, offering to pay the national debt etc. In the other series it's more your bog standard paying everyone off or shooting them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 "I Am Not Ok With This" is an easy way to pass 20 mins. On episode 3 and it's been pretty good so far. You can tell the producer of Stranger Things and the Director of End Of The F***ing World were involved as it's kind of a mash up of the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not get killed in S3? Mexico is set alongside the original. Escobar is still alive, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy that you can just bring in another actor to play the part, I liked the last one too. Watched the first 2 episodes last night, looking good, and i'm getting used to the new sleeved Kovacs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
