What to Read Next

One viewer raves about ‘This City is Ours’ on the BBC, calling it one of the best TV series they’ve watched in years. They find it exceptional from beginning to end. If you’re a fan of crime dramas, this show is top-tier. Don’t wait any longer and tune in as soon as possible.

I just finished watching ‘This City Is Ours’ on iPlayer, and I have to say it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. It was fantastic from beginning to end,” said a viewer who clearly enjoyed the series. Another comment read, “What a fantastic series! If this isn’t renewed for another season, it would be a real shame.

On his own accord, he has advocated for the BBC to continue the show for another season, expressing through Liverpool Echo: “There hasn’t been anything quite like it before, and I’m thrilled to have played a role in it. I hope it will have a lasting run – everyone associated with it deserves prosperity.

Julie Graham, portraying Ronnie’s wife Elaine, remarked on the variety of descriptions people have for it: “It’s been called a ‘rollercoaster ride’ by some, which I appreciate,” she said. “Others refer to it as ‘Scouse Sopranos’,” she added.

Once you start watching, it can be very hard to stop, especially after seeing the first episode. You’ll likely find yourself wanting to keep going all the way up to episode eight. The characters in this series are so captivating that there’s no one who seems unimportant or forgettable.

As a devoted admirer, I’m particularly excited because Stephen Butchard, the mastermind behind this series, seemed quite optimistic about its future. He clarified that the storyline was designed with a single season in mind, emphasizing, “I was tasked to produce eight episodes. I didn’t label it ‘Series One’.

The city we claim couldn’t possibly become a movie since I wouldn’t get the opportunity to flesh out the characters, as each one holds significance for me. I don’t find myself thinking, ‘This narrative thread can be expanded upon in future seasons.’ Instead, it’s all here, in this moment.

I aimed to craft an engaging narrative spanning from episode one through eight, a story that mirrors everyday life and raw feelings as families find themselves drawn further into conflict… It’s a tale of love and the lengths individuals go to in order to grasp and maintain control.

Although the BBC hasn’t verified it yet, we anticipate that the fate of Butchard’s crime drama will be decided soon.

This City Is Ours airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
