the Buddha of Suburbia

Written bij acclaimed writer Hanif Kureishi, produced by the BBC with David Bowie providing the soundtrack, this must be something... 

It is comprised of four episodes of about 45 minutes, haven't heard the commentary track.

Good, enjoyable, giving a good (I think?) idea of the bleak prospects and hopeless dreams of suburban people, the vibrant soundtrack was at a positive juxtaposition, but I was confused throughout the series.

Changes in time happened quickly and seemingly at random. This wouldn't have been so much of a problem when the changes in character though, felt "hastened" as well. Sudden changes in main character "Creamy" weren't believable in my eyes.

Loved the music, the scenes, decor, as I said, it seems to give - wasn't there, alas - a good impression.
