Pretty good show except for all the faggotry. Dang nab it, why do they gotta be sticking faggots in all these shows? When I watch a TV show or a movie I want escapist fantasy where all the women are beautiful, the guys are all heroic, and all the characters are straight heterosexuals. I don't need any faggots besmirching my fantasy, they are repulsive and disgusting.

But what you gonna do? Kill all the faggots? Historically, that has been the preferred solution for some, maybe all, religions. Islam still preaches that. Mainstream Christianity seems to be learning to deal with them. Western civilization seems to consider faggots people, and killing people without permission from the lord high executioner is forbidden.

Faggots, except for being faggots, can be good people. They can be smart, productive members of society. As long as they can keep their faggotiness under wraps, I am happy to deal with them.

Lesbians I don't mind near as much. I like women, mostly because I am sexually attracted to them, so I can see why women would be attracted to other women - if they are good looking. As for ugly women, well, that's why god invented alcohol.

Anyway, enough about that. Back to the show and besides my previously mentioned objections, it's pretty great. We are looking at a niche of society where the law doesn't much matter. Well, it matters enough that our players will be careful to avoid involving the police, but that isn't really too difficult, if you have a brain and can use it. We have one group of people dealing in stolen information and another group that deals in bullets, and sometimes the information thieves hire the killers, and sometimes other people hire the killers to kill the information thieves.

Samuel, an ugly little faggot, got started in this 'society' as a gofer and moved on to become a triggerman. His sexual preferences aside, he is a reliable and loyal killer.

This little 'society' has been upset by the entrance of some new, unknown, players. Previously, everyone knew everyone else and everyone eventually knew what was going on. So and so took out the bloke that was skimming from that gangster, so and so works with that mean chick, that drug dealer is overstepping his bounds. That was the world they operated in. But now someone has killed the Chinese ambassador, his daughter is missing, and somebody killed a dozen of the drug dealer's henchmen, and nobody has a clue who this is. Smells like government agents to me. Could be the SAS, or maybe the CIA, or maybe somebody from Asia has come to town for a specific purpose.

Eventually we get to the uber-secret society that has upset our apple cart, and being as we finished watching this show last week, I don't remember how exactly it played out, but I'm pretty sure it's pointing to a second season.
