    • Trivia
      Perhaps surprisingly to some, the actors portraying Rhys' parents Melanie (Mel) and Steve, are both actually Irish doing a "Liverpool accent". Considering the history of Liverpool and Irish (Roman Catholic) moving there, that may have been a deliberate casting choice with their ability to do a suitable accent, are accomplished-enough actors with the gravitas to carry the roles, and they both look enough like Rhys' parents to carry the series along.
    • Goofs
      The setting is 2007 and 2008, but the uniformed police officers all wear the ribbon of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal, given away in 2012.

    Ultimately Sad
    A story of gang violence people across the world are all to familiar with. Little 'Men' thinking they are 'big'..with iron on their hands.. sadly no amount of tattoos or owning a Glock..will ever make you a man, that take's hard work and guts.

    Brilliantly made and acted, if it was a Soap, no one would believe it. but unfortunately, yeah this happened. Hope our cousins in the USA will watch this and stop legally buying guns. They always end up for re- sale..in the wrong hands. #peace
