Wow, Jimmy White in a crime series? That's unexpected but exciting! I remember watching his snooker matches with my dad back in the day. Hope he gets more than just a cameo though 🤞

The plot sounds interesting but I'm not sure about the title "Write To Kill". Sounds a bit too violent for my taste. Still, curious to see how Jimmy White performs in an acting role!

Jimmy White firing someone in a snooker hall? That's perfect casting! 😂 Hope they show some actual snooker scenes - would be a missed opportunity otherwise.

As someone who loves both crime dramas and snooker, this is like two of my favorite things coming together! Hope it gets an OTT release in India soon.

Not sure how I feel about sports legends moving into acting. Remember when Mohammad Ali tried acting? Stick to what you're best at, I say. But I'll still give it a watch for old times' sake.

The premise sounds like a modern-day Faustian bargain. Interesting concept! Though I wonder if they'll explore the psychological aspects properly or just focus on action.
