OK,they replaced almost everybody from the original film! but i have to say the new cast is just Awesome!! This is the stuff we want to see on TV/DVD! fast,funny,hard!! a lot of foul language and pretty good action scenes! every episode stands on it's own so you get 7 great lock stock adventures, and they are all good. The soundtrack is also great and is edited perfectly into the scenes. The coolest about the series is that the bad guys are so funny(as in almost all of ritchíe's) Especially Miami Vice is great(mister big gangster) he has only one Hench man haha!!! so if you like movies like Lock stock and Snatch you will love this!!!

Well, the anticipation of this series was there when it was first aired in early 2000....and it paid off! I've just re-watched the seven episode set on DVD, and nothing has been lost in the 3 years since first release....in fact the whole series is very watchable all over again! If you like the two movies, "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch", you'll absolutely love this made for TV series, its a fine example of how a TV follow up to a movie should be.Fine acting from a very fine cast-the four "heroes" of the show, played brilliantly by Daniel Caltagirone, Scott Maslen, Shaun Parkes and Del Synnott, and the two classic bad guys played by Ralph Brown and Christopher Adamson, as Miami Vice and his faithfull right hand man Three Feet. Put together, these guys are unforgettable, a cult in the making, and it must be said this series should be bigger, more widespread, so a bigger audience can appreciate it.I personally hope a follow-up movie can come of this-Miami Vice is too good a character to lose on film, but then they all are to be honest! I can't to be honest think of any negative points about this collection of stories, other than there hasn't been a second series!So yes, if you enjoyed the movies, dig this out....you won't be dissapointed. 9/10 Classic

This series is a worthy follow up to Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.This has a sharper picture, a bigger sense of the absurd and a bigger range of sterotypical characters(eg:porn merchents Deep Throat and Debbie). Also a little bit more violent and bloody, so watch out.

'Lock, Stock' is the nadir of the British gangster genre. The infantile, stylised plots fail to amuse or stimulate me. Why did Channel 4 waste their time on this?There is so much anti-American bilge expressed by British commentators, but how can you compare this crap to an American masterpiece like 'The Sopranos'. 'Lock, Stock' is a great series for dorks but I was bored after 5 minutes. A three-year old could have written something more interesting!
