Rainy old day today, so I’ll get back to it shortly.
I’ve also been watching Traitors, set in the British Cabinet Office in the immediate post-war years. Emma Appleton is spying for the Yanks, led by Michael Stuhlbarg, and Keeley Hawes is spying for the Russians. Not sure I’d recommend it.
And finished the Canadian police series, Cardinal. Well…not finished, but up-to-date.
You’re the Worst is a warped old series, but I can’t help myself.
There’s another version of The Bridge, this time on the German/Austrian border.
Called Pagan Peak (Der Pass), it starts with the discovery of a people smuggler hunched, frozen, over a stone border marker in the Alps.
Ellie Stocker, from Berchtesgaden, near Munich (site of Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest) is the German cop, and Winter, the unmade bed of an Austrian cop from Salzburg.
Nearly finished Pagan Peak, the German/Austrian version of The Bridge. Pretty good.
Started I Know Who You Are (Sé Quien Eres) about a Spanish lawyer who has amnesia after a car crash, in which his niece disappears and he’s charged with her murder. Set in Barcelona but all of the dialogue is in Spanish (Castellano), which is a bit funny considering so many signs and street signs are monolingual- in Catalan.
On the back of Flying Circus being shown on SBS, I was reminded of and talking about this series with a mate the other day, so went looking for it. Gotta love UToob sometimes.
Holds up surprisingly well, and could easily be assumed to be satirising things afoot in World Politics anytime over the past decade.
