Brassic Ends Its Run with Tarantino-Inspired Last Episode
The creators Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are concluding on their comedy series about a close-knit group of likable chancers causing chaos in a countryside town in Lancashire. You might expect the finale to be a nostalgic highlight reel of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. However, the atmosphere turns much more somber as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the gang hole up in a bar with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode seemingly influenced by the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.

The Series The Iris Affair
