Anyone else watching this? Last one tonight. I only caught up with it last weekend when I watched the first 3 I had on my planner.
Really enjoying it. It's not the best written, most original com/drama you'll ever see but it's fun. Got some great moments and lines. Very good cast and characters. Wonderful scenery too.
Just hope the ending doesn't disappoint as many serials seem to. Probably be all left open ready for another series.

    Yes, really enjoying it. As you say, not the best written and parts of it are a little far fetched but well worth watching.

    Oh, the female copper would get it too!

    She can take down my particulars anytime!
  • ShagShag
    I reckon she is involved with one of the 4 blokes and its all a set up
  • Swisdom
    It's a great view - the clips of tonights show the ending could be entertaining! I just hope they don't try an jump the shark with a massively bizarre storyline
  • buckshee
    I'm enjoying it mostly but some of it leaves me scratching my head

    the way they have kept on going back and forth to the boat and it seems that no police are watching them , very strange
  • LargeAddickLargeAddick
    that's the point though, it isn't meant to be believable. Plus there are so many inconsistancies it is untrue but it's great entertainment.
  • MacronateMacronate
    Great cast.

    Really enjoyed it-can't figure out who's involved, how it's gonna end etc

    Female copper :)
  • Red_in_SE8
    Really enjoying it as well. As already been said, bit far fetched but great scenery, strong characters and that female detective! I was disappointed she hardly featured last week. Hope we see more of her tonight.

    Yeah that's what I reckon.
  • Southendaddick
    Loving Mad Dogs and Marchlands at the moment.

    Even Silk on BBC is ok as well.

    Actually not watching channel 405 non stop at the moment
  • MiserableoldgitMiserableoldgit
    Bugger ! Opened the thread and then realized I've got the first 3 on Sky+......
    No Spoilers Please !
  • ken from bexleyken from bexley
    Good series,
    Well shot, and good bit of escapism......
    Love the Detective......

    Great Villa!
  • LargeAddickLargeAddick
    Still none the wiser. Was she a cop? Was Quinn behind it all? Is Quinn going to cop it from Dominic?

    Expect Mad Dogs 2 next year.

    Poor man's Sexy Beast imho.

  • AlexAnder
    still dont get it either!
    what was the women for? cop or..?

    argh!
  • PaulCAFC
    Let's face it, this was never going to have a straightforward ending, but I suppose the idea is to get everyone talking about it......

    I'm confused and a little disappointed but I guess it does lend itself to a new series

    I still think Quinn didn't actually kill the copper and they're in it together

    Good acting, nice scenery and a refreshing storyline though
  • boogica
    superb series ,the ending obviously leaves it open for a new series .
    at least i hope so.
  • Henry IrvingHenry Irving
    A waste of some good actors. Really needed a good script editor to sort it out before they started shooting.
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    thought the outline of the storyline was good, as were the actors, but it could have been a hell of a better script and a bit of a wasted opportunity really.

    Enjoyed it though, and some of the scenes with the midget in the 3rd episode were very funny.

    That was one sexy copper.
  • les_saysles_says
    i loved the whole thing and thought the ending was very satisfactory (spoiler below).

    i took at face value. she's a moody copper, quinn shot her, sacrificed himself for his mates (he had little to go home to) and inevitably went out in an apocalypse now blaze of glory.
  • boogica
    yep 1 sexy copper definately like a week or 2 in that villa with her.

    or anywhere really.

    That's how i read it, except i think the 2nd series will probably start with the others turning the car round and turning up just at the point of Dominic about to shoot Quinn. Somehow that will go wrong, Quinn will survive and they'll be back in brown stuff for killing 2 (bent) coppers.
  • Arry Addick
    I was hoping for a ending with a better twist, especially when Baxter sat down and started to plot things out on paper....I thought he was onto something big!!

    Enjoyed it, but thought the ending was a bit weak.

    Thats what I said to my wife - series two starts with Max Beesley stopping the car saying "We can't just leave him here - he needs us"
  • Red_in_SE8
    I think, if there is a second series, it will start with an opening shot of Quinn still in the pool slowly breaking into a smile and then the camera pans round to to the sultry sexy detective who is now half naked having discarded the shirt that contained the exploding fake blood capsules! Well, I can live in hope.
  • charlton4evercharlton4ever
    Villa is right near my Sister in laws in North Majorca - lovely spot. Must say I am so confused with the ending though!

    Why don't you do the 2nd series?

    It was a bit of fun. Most enjoyable. You must stop taking EVERYTHING so seriously. You're getting old before your time fella.

    Don Logan rules.
    Don Logan was the most unbelievable character ever in any gangster film. Made worse by the most ridiculous casting of Ben Kingsley!

    Sexy Beast was poor. Ian MacShane stole any worthwhile moments, as he always does. Paying off Ray Winstone was CLASSIC!
  • Chirpy RedChirpy Red
    So anyone watch the first episode of Mad Dogs2? It's on my planner.

    A second series! Who'd have thought it?
  • BR7_addickBR7_addick
    I did! Picked up from where it left off, well worth a watch.
  • SE10SE10
    Won't put down about what happened incase people havn't seen it yet but thought it was very good again!

    Good to see some good Brittish actors making up the main part of a show aswell!

    Give yourself a pat on the back AFKA. Not a bad shout considering it was made 10 months ago.

    Watched the whole of series over the weekend, doesn't take long once you've stripped out the adverts, the "so far" bits and "next week".

    Bloody enjoyed it. Ridiculous but great fun. The bird was stunning. Only complaint, too much gratuitous swearing I thought.

    David Warner showed Ben Kingsley how to play a villain.

    Looking forward to series 3.
  • falconwood_1falconwood_1
    Chirpy, Don Logan is the daddy.

    "yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
    yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
    yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
    yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes"
  • L BlockL Block
    not as good as the first series as it was so original, yet still better than the utter crap on tv nowadays.

    that bird in it though (Carmen i think her name is)........stunning
  • LargeAddickLargeAddick
    I enjoyed it. Totally unbelievable but good fun. Looking forward to Series 3 in Morrocco.

    They end up in South Africa apparently.
  • shirty5
    Filming is taking place in South Africa with series 3 to be shown in 2013
  • Chirpy RedChirpy Red
    I think it's all been done. Simm and Glienster were on Radio 2 some weeks ago talking about it.
  • MacronateMacronate
    got better as it progressed.
