TV Series

Each to their own like, but watched the first season of last kingdom and thought it was guff. For some reason, a BBC production, always carries a hint of beige. Polished acting and production but it’s all just a bit BBC if you know what I mean.
Are the later episodes an improvement like?

Started Season 2 last night. The end of season 1 was good but made no sense in how certain characters became capable of fighting numerous battle hardened Danes but it's easy enough to ignore as it keeps entertaining. And it looked like they had a lottery to decide who rides off alongside Uhtred at the end....no real connection whatsoever. Why them?

The pacing is still off as well. A montage and sad music to mourn a character who'd been in about 2 or 3 episodes and must have had less than 30 minutes of total screen time?

I really do like it though. Just seems like there are very odd choices made in how the tale is told.

Netflix improve the budget in season 4.......

If you can put up with sub titles and dubbing then
FAUDA
and
BRAQUO
Both on Netflix are outstanding.

Is Gomorrah not on Netflix? I thought it was.

Fauda is amazing, just watching the 3rd season on Netflix.

I originally watched it on bbc4, but whichever foreign series they had on the Saturday night slot was always excellent... Wallander, Spiral etc.

If you enjoyed Spiral you will certainly like Braquo.
Similar to the Shield in that they are the dirtiest squad of cops around.
Opening scene is brilliant.
Regarding FAUDA, I was worried that the 3rd Series wouldn't live up to the other 2 but it was ace.

I’m midway through the second series of Fauda and it’s just brilliant.

It took 5/6 episodes to really get going, but the constant cat and mouse is superb, plus it doesn’t take sides - they’re both evil.

Dorans is a great anti hero too.

Will watch Braquo after I’ve finished Fauda.

I’d much rather watch subtitles than poorly synched dubbing with corny accents lol

A bit like Eddie Caplan in Braquo

Agreed, dubbed is pretty much unwatchable.

Might give Braquo a go then, I'm just about to finish Fauda and can't allow any gap in my viewing ha.

Under normal circs it would take months to watch 36 episodes of anything lol

Le Bureau des Légendes should be on your viewing lists...

Love French stuff so I'll definitely give that a go.

I need something to fill the Spiral shaped hole in my heart.
