WHITE LINES: I think Chris Lowe would love this series

#1 Post by Nickname »

I am watching this series today and I remember Chris Lowe talking about Ibiza, how much he enjoys there when he goes and about the experience of listening West End Girls on the radio for the very first time being there.

So I think he'd love this:

- Because a Spanish and British production
- Because it's really fun
- Because it was shot in Ibiza, a place he loves
- Because it's full of good electronic music

Having so many time to be at home I think it's a good recomendation for all of you. Even for PSB too.

Moronic title, plus only barely related to PSB and should be moved... but I gotta say, I will be watching this.

Well, you can move the topic to a NON-PSB section. I consider is fair. I wanted to recommend the show because I think is a show Chris could like it.

I was reading an article about the series and I found a word that sounds very familiar at the end of the second line:

"The setting is perfect for that, because Spanish and English people have been grinding against one another in Ibiza for decades (in more ways than one). White Lines, while about murder and cocaine (as the title suggests), also probes the house music scene and the English invasion of the Balearic Islands in the 1990s, what Pina refers to as the “golden age” of Ibiza as a cultural hotspot".

So, what series is she talking about? There is no title in the headline nor in the description.

This is how it should be done:

- headline: "X": A series Chris Lowe might like
- text: So lately I've been watching "X" ...

Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning. :|
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.

It depends on you taste but most of people love it.

It's not obviously the masterpice La Casa de Papel (Money Heist), the most watched show of Netflix history right now.
