Rodders Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yep introduced my other half to The Bridge recently and finished S1. It's good. It is also surprising how compelling the show remains throughout even when... well, you'll find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the very best police crime series, I'm jealous of anyone who is catching it for the 1st time, enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2020 I only watched the first season of The Bridge. And The Killing for that matter (the original). Those are two I need to revisit (Maybe this is a theme with foreign dramas. I only watched Season 1 of Dark too until I recently caught up, and I never finished Gomorrah either even though it was **** brilliant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I pretty much can't watch Swedish series (or movies for that matter) We only have about 7 working actors outside the big Hollywood ones and they are in everything. It ruins the immersion for me. Also the dialog is usually painfully poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit I've wanted to be a swede for over 10 years, you Scandi's are the coolest cats ever, love your stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it was excellent. Can anyone advise if the second and third season are worth watching - dont want to spoil the first one if they go downhill Yup! Fourth is great too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got that series as 3 separate flims over here but I've since watched the series which is better and has many more scenes that help with the story and character development. It pretty much got me in to the whole Scandi Noir thing. Happy to see Ms Rapace doing so well but wish she had a better agent as some of the projects she has gone for smell like Surströmming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rjw63 Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yes! Dexter is returning next year for a one-off ten episode season. Pretty much no one was happy with the way it ended so it will be interesting to see what they do. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just finished Succession. Absolutely loved it and can't wait for season 3. Some fine acting all round and definitely up there with the best of them.. In fact, I would have it in my top 5 now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that, the contestants having banter and chemistry is a big part of it and they didn't seem to have that yet, plus it feels weird with the covid measures. Even so it's been a while since I've laughed as much at something as someone trying to pump helium into an egg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I love 'See No Evil' on Amazon Prime. It is all about murders which are solved using CCTV. Just find it fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Re taskmaster It was definitely a bit weird, it also felt shorter in terms of actual tasks but who knows. Halfway through Succession as everyone seems to love it, and I'll keep watching it, but it's a cold watch. I mean they're all pricks. It's very hard to give a shit about any of them. At the moment still have a sense of obligation about watching it to try and understand what everyone loves.

I almost gave up after 3 episodes, I posted here saying pretty much what you have. Not one likable character, and it dragged. But it really does improve and you find yourself getting sucked in, by the end of season two I was pissed that there was no season 3 ready to go! EDIT: after watching a documentary about The Dirty Digger I'd be very surprised if this show isn't based on Rupert Murdoch and his family.

wazzap24 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I’m so glad I stuck with Lovecraft Country. I wasn’t sure at first and I’m still not sure what it actually is, but the last few episodes have been fecking brilliant. Johnathan Majors is superb in it, more than a touch of a young Denzel Washington about him. Cracking show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
