Pah! Thought the new Line of Duty was starting, turns about to be a re-run of the series which happens to feature Keely Hawes. Pah! New series can’t be far away though.
If you enjoyed Deutschland 83/86 on C4 , the final series Deutschland 89 starts on More 4 on Feb 26. I’ll be all over it.
Finally I’ve just discovered that Netflix is running a Czech version of Life on Mars/ Ashes to Ashes. I’ll, er, check it out so you (probably) don’t have to.

I thought the same the other day! I checked it out and they reckon March/April so not too long to wait.
Over the past two weeks I have watched Series 1,2 & 3 of Gomorrah. I will start Series 4 at the weekend.
Mrs Dickie didn’t like it because there was to much violence, but I really have enjoyed it.
A few years ago I spent a few weeks working in Bari. Daytimes were OK, but It was not a good place to walk around in the evenings. I can see a lot of similarities in Gomorrah between Bari and the town where Gomorrah is set. True life.
Keep repeating myself each week but WandaVision gets better with each passing week.
If you can be patient enough to wait for the next episode on a weekly basis then now is the time to start watching as its beginning to hot up.
Wondered how the MCU would turn out after EndGame but the way things are shaping up (and with Kevin Feige at the helm) they could very well just be getting started - The latest twist at the end of todays episode either a proper red herring or just a taster of how mad things could become.
Wouldn't put it past Feige to have his foot on both pedals!! - Just one word of caution, if you do intend to focus on the MCU films (and ignore these shows), then in true Disney smarts, he's already confirmed that things wont make sense in the films if you dont watch these shows.
Well, that’s four hours of my life wasted. The Drowning. What an absolute crock of shit that was.
It was truly horrendous, but for some reason we also had to watch all four. Spent most of it laughing and taking the piss.
Just got the last episode to watch.
Reading between the lines this final episode doesn’t redeem the series ....
***spoilers in this so don’t read if not watched it all***
Ok so watched the final episode what a pile of cack.
So many holes.
1 - obviously the brother was gonna have a massive role in the disappearance from the earlier episode where the mum said ‘you owe her’
2 - how did the brother get the fake dna result. He is a solicitor and not involved in the police dna procedure. He can’t just say he had the power to get it changed
3 - did no one notice that when the boy disappeared and they were all looking for him, that one of the party was soaking wet from having been in the water
4 - why didn’t Daniels dad just say here is the birth certificate and here are photos of us from before the boy went missing, medical records etc

Where did you watch it, mate? The two places I’ve seen it, Amazon and Sky, you have to pay extra to watch it.

I watched it on Sky. All 4 series are available in the Sky box sets section.

Certainly one way to get people's money
Yeah, agreed. Really enjoying it. Still can’t get over how the series has been structured. If it weren’t for the fact Marvel has such a strong fan base already, they would never have done it like this - nobody would’ve stuck with it, what with the slow start and all. It would never have got off the ground. I’m so glad they did.
Lovers of the above, the makers of The Bridge, have produced a 10 part Finnish drama set in Helsinki called Bullets. Bullets are ISIS women who are suicide bombers.
This is available on All 4 and is a good watch. Complicated plot, which doesn't become fully clear until the end of the 9th episode.
Has anyone watched the Danish drama Those Who ho Kill? I haven't but as per The Bridge and The Killing, the Yanks have produced their own version of it. The first episode appeared on Fox TV on Friday night. Wasn't brilliant but ok. The Yanks probably messed it up. Will persevere with it.
I still have Scandinavian productions behind French drama in terms of quality . FWIW, as there are a lot interested on here my French 1, 2, 3 are
Spiral The Bureau Spin.
If you can get over subtitles then you won't be disappointed in these three magnificent series.
Tonight, another bout of binge watching at Fanackapan Towers.
This time, the new jewel in the Danish crown : The Investigation from BBC2 with all episodes now available.
TBH, it was something I honestly didn't fancy but am SO pleased that we "gave it a go"".
I did recall the the news item back in 2017 of the horrific, so called "submarine murder" and the 6 episodes did far more than bring every detail of its investigation into sharp focus.
As with Spiral, a strong affinity was formed with the main characters, albeit that this time they are not fictional. In fact, cold hearted Fanny who never comes over all emotional when bad things happen to people on TV but blubs whenever an animal is involved, actually broke her duck tonight ( no pun intended!)
I strongly advise those Lifers who are happy with subtitles to try this one. It really is something special.
However, should you need an extra shove in its direction, I'll add that the main character is a handsome, mature Dane that the ladies especially won't want to miss ....
...and who is the spitting image of someone we know well.

100% agree with those French recommendations. Still searching in vain for a way to get my hands on the Bureau S5. I dont mind paying for it, but I draw the line at taking out a sub to an entire channnel just to watch this. I’m not sure I’d agree or disagree that French beats Scandi. I think they are equally brilliant but different. I would assume the French generally have bigger budgets, especially The Bureau with its locations. The Scandis have been influential way beyond their territory. e.g. the way Line of Duty ends each episode with the portentous theme music fading in, leaving you thirsting for more- they learnt that trick from The Killing, I would bet a lot of money on that.

8 episodes from the company that made Gomorrah, which we have yet to view.
Pretty good, lots of blood and worth a look IMO.

Come on !
You have to watch it now !
I fear lockdown has been unkind to you 😳
I totally agree about the Investigation, absolutely brilliant series.
But as for my Bruv looking like Jens? Erm 😐 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I shall never hear the last of it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Her taste, style, judgement and attention to detail have always been unquestionable.
Ok her eyesight might be on the way out but still........ 😂😂😂😂😂
Bless you Fanny ☺️
Right I'm off to learn Danish 😂😂😂
However, with the assistance of Specsavers, sight is one of the senses that's remained unaffected....
But I'm pleased to have brought a smile to the faces of the Smith clan albeit that wasn't my intention....
When the handsome Jens graced our TV with his presence, I HONESTLY thought our Tel had given up his day job for the silver screen!
Ah well, it is a great watch and one I'd thoroughly recommend to others.
Time to prepare Bobby Moore's lunch....😎
