The true crime aspect of the documentary was very interesting, however I wasn't a fan of the reenactment of the stories being told, I thought it was unnecessary.

I loved this documentary and am looking forward to the other two.
Interviews with the main players are blended with well acted scenes to give an interesting insight into the underworld of Liverpool without being too bleak.
Well directed and written I look forward to more work from this talented young director. -
bwmcg18 June 2021I only managed to watch about a half hour of this before switching off. From my perspective it was about drug dealers boasting about their chosen profession, never a thought to the countless thousands of people whose deaths from their product were needless but lucrative.
I don't know how they can look in the mirror far less laugh and joke on tv. -
hilarystanley23 August 2021I thought the 2nd episode was brilliant! Ecstasy..... Well I would say that wouldn't I 😂

sophiebudge14 November 2023The premise of this sounded excellent and I was really keen to learn more. Unfortunately, the episodes at once try to do too much by using footage, re-enacted drama and current dramatic shots with sparse dialogue of people once involved. I didn't really learn much - just that some people were arrested, or something.
It could've been highly informative and just used current day testimony and old footage, but it didn't actually present a lot of history or context in the detail a good documentary requires.
Felt like it tried to do everything and nothing.
Disappointing from sky.
Constant interruption from adverts also poor. -
Brilliant and exactly how I remember it to be at the time. A great trip down memory lane showing both the humorous and devastating effects of drug use.
Not sure it was supposed to make me miss Liverpool but it did (I moved overseas years ago).
I've been listening to Scouse House ever since watching it. -
paulspills4 June 2021Docs try various styles to tell their story & was a bit meh with drama scenes but interviews are aces.
London geezer charismatic addict reminded me of a fair few fellas in the contacts list over the years, was lolling and disgusted at same time. Liverpool comes across as the real winner, treated terribly for years by the government but the people overcome. People's views on the drug industry prolly won't be changed but i learned a lot more about the mentality of the people of Liverpool criminals, civilians & the rehabilitated and was mostly all very positive. -
sharonlarkin-742665 June 2021Really enjoyed this series. Downloaded all of them on Thursday on demand on Sky Q. Enjoyed them all but no 2 was my fav as more my scene i.e. Spent my 21st at the State raving. Liked Paulie's character, thought he portrayed well a young lad of that era with the shellsuit etc., also the way he portrayed dealing but his naievity to it all what is involved etc.
