This City Is Ours

[Ken4155]

If you enjoyed Kin, you'll most likely enjoy this gritty drama. I've watched 5 of the 8 episodes so far and i'll most likely finish it tonight - no football to distract me.

Is it a programme about immigrants ?

[ToraToraTora]

There are 16 episodes, I watched it years ago. Very good.

No this is a brand new drama, with Sean Bean, set in Liverpool and about gang culture. It's on my list to start this weekend.

There are currently 8 episodes TTT and it came out in 2025

The eight-part series was commissioned in February 2024. Andy Harries of Left Bank Pictures served as an executive producer, Butchard is lead writer and Robbie O'Neill is writing further episodes.

The BBC is yet to confirm whether This City Is Ours has been renewed or cancelled, with the decision likely to be made in the next few months as the show's commercial performance is assessed.

apologies I was talking about "kin"!

We are very much looking forward to it when we've finished Virdee.

Loved Kin

I am enjoying it, but sometimes I close my eyes 😲😲😲

Only managed to watch 6 & 7 tonight. Saved the finale until tomorrow. What a good watch it's been.

I might give it another look. I watched episode 1 and thought it was a poor imitation of Kin. Then I read a truly rotten review which kind of supported my first impressions so I didn't bother with it anymore.

I'll look it up when I run out of dramas to watch and give it another go now.

[KUSTARD]

I must disagree Maydup.  I have only watched the first episode which I really enjoyed - not like Protection which just keeps dragging on.  I loved Kin and it's just like Kin with Scousers up to now!!!!

[Ken4155]

It is far from being a poor imitation of Kin, imho. Just finished watching the first series tonight and, if i was a gambling man (ahem) i'd lay Lincoln odds on there being a 2nd series. Fingers crossed and all that.

[Vagus]

We watched the last three episodes last night, couldn't go to bed till we'd finished it. Excellent, couldn't tear ourselves away.

[Maydup]

I've come back to say how much I enjoyed it after all!

I found the first episode a bit contrived but as promised I tried it again and enjoyed it more as the story line developed. 

We completed the series last night and were gripped right to the end. 

 

[chelle7272]

Glad you enjoyed it Maydup, I thought it was excellent and I'm hopin for a seaon 2!

[douglas9401]

We're finding it okay but very little happens then an episode is over.

The freezer scenario seems like a result of some writers working while drinking copiously.

[Toorak]

We finished watching it tonight and look forward to series 2 which there must surely be. Fantastic drama with some very understated but well played characters (e.g. banksy). I also thought that Cheryl became a really interesting character who was much more intelligent than her superficial presentation suggested. I would put it on a par with Kin. We will start watching Kinahan now...

[Patsy33]

We are loving it. Got 2 more episodes to go. Must admit after first episode, I wasn't sure whether to carry on with it. Glad I did.

[Toorak]

It is fantastic Patsy - had us sitting on the edge of our seats.
