Scully Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Started watching this last night. We watched the third series ( I think ) last year sometime, which wasn’t subtitled, so have gone back to the very start with the current first two series. One of the bigger stars from ‘Killing Eve’ is in the series we watched last night, looking much younger and lighter than he does in ‘Killing Eve’, which makes me think it’s a much older series.

I think the 3rd and 4th series came out a decade later than the 1st two, I hadn't heard of it until recently, watched the final episode last night and now feel at a bit of a loss..😃 but will be checking out OPP's French Spiral, cheers OPP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 My mum watched The Spiral and recommended it to my wife a few years ago, sadly we do not get time to watch television any more due to work and children. We watched and enjoyed the first series of The Bridge when it was broadcast on BBC, the second series came at a time when we had limited free time and I could not suspend my disbelief for long enough to enjoy it. Getting 5 mins here or there to read PW is my free time now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 We watched "Spiral" when it first came out and were hooked. Now feeling withdrawal symptoms! Another good one, but on Prime, is "Little fires everywhere" which we binge watched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bavarianbrit Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Every police drama it seems to me, has an old classic motor in it these days, and too much magpie cackling noise in the background when the participants are outside.

Townie Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Embarrassed to confess that I’ve watched all of the series mentioned. I can recommend them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted September 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Watched some of the first series of Spiral last night [thanks to all for the heads up] Enjoyed it so far despite the then craze for not holding the camera steady, Wasn't fazed too much by the defaced girl or even the stabbed baby but the druggie eating his own faeces had me grabbing for the sick bucket..🤢... looking forward to seeing some more tonight..👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted September 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Another series well worth a watch is Norsemen. Probably the most bizarre comedy ive seen, Vikings struggling with their emotions and art whilst raping and pillaging anything that moves, We watched the "English" version which is the same as the English spoken in N Wales, really funny The last series is a Prequel so watch that first https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norsemen_(TV_series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
