The TV Series 'Spin Off' from the immense 'City of God'. Got it for a mere 5 pounds in HMV yesterday, 2 discs, 270 minutes. But is it any good? I don't know because I've not seen it yet!

very good GT, got it when it came out, it's a series of half hour shows, depicting life for 2 kids in a favela in rio. not as serious or violent as city of god, just dealing with everyday life for them rather than as members of gangs etc, which are in the background, but done with a fair bit of humour!
think the've made a film of it since, but not seen yet!

So how have you found the TV series then Tom? I saw it myself in HMV last week and nearly bought it.

Helps when Brian Glover's involved though. ;D

I've been watching it late night of BBC2 - its ok, it doesn't really have the same impact as City of God, because you're used to the style its presented in. But chances are if you like City of God you'll like City of Men.
