Glad to hear it. As for the underworld logic… well… they're working off movie cliches, not reality. The BBC's official site handwaves Lau at least as 'an honourable man', who merely wants to recover what's owed him — and I think is satisfied that he's already got the undynamic duo terrified enough to skip the huge…

Depends on what you mean. Corden's the co-star and in it to stay, there's no escaping that; but the character's abrasive, dominating edges do get filed off quite a bit as the plot spirals further out of their control, and he even gets some genuinely nice character development by the end. I've actually read quite a lot…

I don't mind Corden too much, personally. He's very good — Tony-winning actually — at what he does. The thing is, I can also see where his detractors are coming from; were I to be overexposed to it on the level UK viewers seem to have been, I'd probably be getting really tired of what he does by now too. There's a lot…

This was, I think, also generally conceded during the BBC run to be the weakest of the six episodes. It's a funny but weirdly self-indulgent interlude before what's actually a pretty punchy — and for that matter sticky-consequence-filled — race to the finale.

Yep, that's Benedict Wong as Mr. Lau, currently threatening series star Mathew Baynton as Sam.
