Oh good, it's Matador!

I know it's all a bit silly and I know it is disjointed, genre skipping daftness. So then why is it that every time it's on I watch it as soon as I get it and say 'oh, good, Matador's on'.

I think it's because I like the agent bird's impossibly blue eyes and she does a superb Aussie accent, I love Matador's cheeky grin and that he is so humble but still bad-ass. I like feeling irate at that horrendous accent Galan does. He is a great actor (see Monday Mornings), but he is truly awful in this. And I like that Samuel had a cool collection of ecigs.

I just like it, so there. Roll on series 2.

Fun entertaining show but you're wrong about Molina. He's great.

Hey Basher - if you're impressed with the "agent bird's" Aussi accent, you should be even more impressed with her American accent :) (She's originally from Australia - the American one is the put-on.) She's Nicky Whelan if you want to look her up.

I quite enjoy her in this as well, and also struggle a bit with Molina's character.

Ha! No wonder her Aussie accent was so spot on! That's so funny, thank you for letting me know. I have to point out then, her American accent was amazingly convincing.. I think I might look Nicky Whelan up as you say and perhaps catch her in something else nailing a Korean accent or something :)
