The legacy sequel, bafflingly titled T2 Trainspotting, is a decent commentary on the nature of sequels and being middle aged. There’s also more of actual Edinburgh in in; original movie was primarily filmed in Glasgow.
Comment on The Traitors Is Fake Scotland at Its Worst

If I wanted to watch something for an accurate historical representation of Scotland, I wouldn’t ever have even thought of putting The Traitors anywhere near the top of the list.
I’d rewatch Trainspotting.

That’s because the book is called Porno

“ Encompassed by violent street gangs, neglectful parents, bullying teachers and a dearth of positive role models, a studious but emotionally abandoned kid turns thug.”
Sounds like a right laugh a minute, but I’m going to watch it. Thanks for the recommendation.

It is marvellous. Tyrannosaur and Red Riding are other gems of the director Peter Mullan. Dark and heavy, but great.

Tyrannosaur was directed by Paddy Considine.
