Anyone ever heard of or seen a British show called "Vincent"? It's about an ex-cop turned private eye and from the write up on IMDB, the main character, Vincent Gallagher, sounds a lot like Jim Brass ("macho, flawed, and extremely vulnerable man, who seems to live in the shadows of his past"). It's funny because just yesterday I got this catalog in the mail and saw the blurb for the DVD's. I was thinking that the guy who plays Vincent, Ray Winstone, has sort of a Paul Guilfoyle look about him, which is why it caught my attention. Well, that and the catalog write up compared the show to Monk and CSI.
I just added the show to my Netflix queue but if anyone has seen the show, I'd be curious to know what you think of it.

I just bumped BSG up in my Netflix queue but I think I'm going to have to push this one ahead of it. Besides, I want to watch BSG on a rainy weekend so I can have a marathon and so far, we're still in a sunny, 90 degree drought.

Btw, how's your BSG watching progressing? Oh and, are you expecting any rain from Gabrielle? We've had enough rain around here. I'd love it if the temps were to drop into the lower 60s already.

However, I kept thinking the DVD's were closer to the top of my queue and when I looked the other day, I realized they were way down the list. So I bumped them up. And I'd been thinking about buying at least the BSG miniseries on DVD. That was soooo good!
No rain from Gabrielle unfortunately. I'd really hoped we would but it looks like she'll come ashore further south and then stay off the coast. Boo!

Date: 2007-09-08 07:33 pm (UTC)I'll have to put it in the queue, too.

Date: 2007-09-09 02:03 am (UTC)So now two things to put on the queue...
