Some white lines.

And as a bonus some yellow ones - drainage lines shown because of the dry ground.

Started watching it, realised Daniel Mays and Laurence Fox were doing Manchester accents, and turned it off.

Watched the first episode. Don't think I'll bother with the rest. Cliche-ridden rubbish.

Usually enjoy the stuff Daniel Mays does, but been disappointed with both this and Code 404 - which was even more disappointing as it also stared Stephen Graham

Aw, Enty, bless.

May I recommend Kevin and Perry go large, if you think White Lines is representative of Ibiza in the 90's?

Sometimes it's ok for others to have an opinion, thats different to yours, aye?

As an Ibiza veteran (if there is such a thing) I can testify that White Lines is pretty unrepresentative of Ibiza.

As a series it was an OK, if a somewhat bizarre watch. There were certainly some funny parts, amongst plenty of ‘WTF’ is going on here (not necessarily in a good way) moments, but there are certainly much better watches out there.

It’s reasonably entertaining in a “ 6/10” kinda way ,though absolute tosh. It looks good as you’d expect with an over produced Netflix effort .As for the manc accents :lol: I’d imagine teens /early 20’s might enjoy it ,though as for “ recreating 90’s Ibiza” think David Hassellhoff playing Churchill .I vaguely wanted to know “ whodunnit “ which kept me half watching .

DCWat, seems we're both old timers then. In my case, not bad being a gimmer whilst under the age of 40.

As Large says, teens / early 20's will enjoy it, who think that is what Ibiza is/was actually like.

I'm 52 and still going, I've got everything crossed at the moment that I'm going to get there this September. I'll be gutted if I don't, it's the greatest show on earth!

Watched it out of Covid boredom, it’s not particularly good.
Why did they put the retro bit as 1996 when the music and scene was more 1989.
I suspect so the grown up birds were still palatable

Haven’t watched White Lines but really enjoyed Code 404. Very funny.

I'll probably give Code 404 a go as the cast looks good. Although it's on Sky One which usually means it's no good.

Watched first one last Friday, will probably watch them all eventually but not in a rush, said to the Mrs that I was trying to like it but found it weird. I’ll finish my current series Bloodline, which is decent enough then have another look

Surprised so many people watch things without putting them through the IMDB test first. If a tv show scores below an 8 it’s usually poor. If it scores below a 7 it almost definitely is.

IMDB is ok as a gauge, for films if it's below 6 it's definitely no good. Some great films only ranked 6.5, whereas some tosh rated 8 and above

Seen people double your age in Ibiza!

Not watched the series yet but hoping for a safe return to the island at some point soon. Was meant to be there for the opening parties

I remember a really old bloke that seemed to be in Pacha, every time I went. He reminded me of Uncle Albert from Only Fools.

I love the music still (old and a good lot of the new, depending on the DJ) but it’s a long time since I’ve been ‘proper’ clubbing.

We keep promising ourselves another trip out there.

Before my time but I know who you mean Captain Birdseye! I've seen him on some old pacha posters in St Eularia and music videos.

When you see the old owners knocking about like Pepe Rosello at 84yrs old 8-)

Our trips have changed slightly as we take our 1 year old but still love the island and music

Thought I’d give the 2nd episode a chance. It’s abysmal and the acting is atrocious. A flop in my eyes.

Tempted to go on a family holiday to Ibiza but can’t help feeling it’d be a bit weird knowing there’s thousands of people dropping a load of dids just down the road. Maybe partially jealous..

Is Robbie Fowler in it?

(Sorry, don't know how to link a photo. I know everyone says 'it's easy' and I look at the instructions and think 'what the ****'.).
