Great show. It certainly drops off after the first 4 seasons (becomes a bit formulaic) but thereā€™s never been a better action/thriller show on TV ever, in my view.

The theme is also underrated. The full version is spectacular.

morris is definitely ā€œsell the concept to the execsā€ casting but i think sheā€™s been alright

conversely iā€™ve found rees a bit annoying

australia has heaps of comedic talent, just not many of them are on telly. just gotta hope ch10 put a bit of faith in future casting instead of constant ā€œsafeā€ choices

Thatā€™s awesome you can enjoy it for the first time. Iā€™ve forgotten plenty but still remember some of the major twists, but could almost go it again.

even though itā€™s been 20+ years since, the final 10-15 of the last ep of s1 are seared into my memory forever

cracking series

later seasons thereā€™s a few ā€œoh come onā€ moments but are still good

Yep, I vaguely remember my brother watching the first season when it aired, but I never did

glad I didnā€™t have to wait a week to watch each new episode. I did that for 6 years when Lost was on tv, and it nearly broke me.

Yep, I always swore after Lost that I wouldnā€™t been waiting weekly for a new drama/thriller to come out if itā€™s more than 10 episodes

Also the new Death in paradise spin-off Beyond Paradise was very enjoyable

How on earth do people have enough time to watch all this TV. Just keeping up with the odd film is hard enough.

Just started on Signora Volpe (Italian for Mrs Fox) starring Emilia Fox as a disenchanted MI6 spy who heads to Italy for her nieceā€™s wedding.

First ep wasnā€™t too bad.

Another on Acorn TV is The Madame Blanc Mysteries where Sally Lindsay (ex-Coronation St - well, she does sport a strong Manchester accent) plays antiques dealer Jean White (Mme Blanc) who gets involved in the odd kerfuffle in Sainte Victoire.

And a police drama, set in Montpellier on the Mediterranean coast just west of Marseille, called Candice Renoir. Candice has been popping out kids in her husbandā€™s overseas postings for 10 years. Heā€™s exited stage left, and sheā€™s returned to her old job as a police detective. Naturally her team are unimpressed that sheā€™s heading them.

The first two are mostly in English, this oneā€™s all in French.
