sex you say......lets stick to the important topics please and never mind all that other gun and crime serious nonsense......so, sex eh......so with whom, how many times, were they cute, did they use egg whisks and battery clamps ? All other important information like that would be required LONG before any decision made to spend valuable time watching a programme..... :)

Well so far we've had some hot boy gay sex, a Japanese demi-god assassin with the boss's daughter and a bit of muff munching kissing. I suspect there's more to come but the sex is really only a prelude to more blowing people's heads off.

The queero has alll the best killer lines.

Queero to girls father.
"I'll have her back by eleven."
Girls father.
"Ten."
Queero.
"Eleven Ten. Understood."

And where are you viewing this series?

And where are you viewing this series?It was on BBC2; it's also available as torrents via, say, EZTV. Supposedly it's on Netflix next year - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giri/Haji

I gave up after watching about half of it and only watched, I'd have to say, because I wanted to see Will Sharpe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Sharpe) as a rent boy

It's on all the illegal video streaming sites which are readily available in Thailand.

Just finished the series. Absolutely mesmerizing. No television show did anything quite like this before.
