Plum Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks Egluntyne will have to watch on catch up. Was the Italian drama last Saturday worth watching I fell asleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 So what do people think? Any good? I just loved Salamander and am not sure if any will come up to that. It took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting to like anything as much as Borgen or The Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pips_pekins Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 So what do people think? Any good? I just loved Salamander and am not sure if any will come up to that. It took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting to like anything as much as Borgen or The Bridge. I was loving Salamander but missed the last 2 episodes due to work things etc. I sat down the following Sunday to watch them on BBC iplayer only to find they had been removed the day before. I watched the first series of Borgen on DVD and am really looking forward to some free time so I can watch the second. Sadly, Salamander is not on DVD so I may never find out what happened in the end Was this new one any good? Think I will give it a go but will have to ensure I watch it all!

Groovychook Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Was the Italian drama last Saturday worth watching I fell asleep I fell asleep during both episodes... I think I can safely say that I didn't find it riveting Don't know whether it was just our TV but some of the characters appeared to be out of synch/ dubbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Mammon looked quite promising I thought. Haven't had time to watch the Italian programme yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Mammon had me confused as they usually do, but yes I think it's going to be good. The Italian one is very Montalbano but I fell asleep in both episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Not sure the Italians would be impressed by all these lovely British ladies falling asleep on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 We watched Mammon last night. It did seem to be a faster paced drama than The Bridge, haven't seen any of the other 'Nordic Noir' series. However we did enjoy it and look forward to watching the rest of the series, looks like there are only 3 episodes, least that is all I could find on my TIVO when I did a series link. Is it me or does everyone else find that the picture is a very different colour to what we are used to? It's bordering on black and white with just a hint of colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yes, I really don't like the quality of the film. Started Mammon - very odd. But I do rather like Borgen - it can be funny at times. And hey ho they also speak English - and so perfectly!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hey ho they also speak English - and so perfectly!!! I've heard of Borgen but never watched it. Wonder if it's on catch up or Netflix. The one thing I find hard with the subtitles is that I can't just close my eyes for a few secs when I am tired as you really have to focus all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I wasn't originally watching Borgen - OH was. I used to hear some of it and make up my own English dialogue while I ironed with my back to it. Then I started watching more and enjoyed it. He has been doing the Scandinavian programmes big time. I think it all started with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo that he had been reading and then he watched the subtitled film (that I didn't like although I read it all, wasn't fussed with it), so after that he got the taste for the subtitles!!! Neither of us like the grey and dark film. Colours are just so washed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counturchickens Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm not sure about mammon, I was't gripped by it. Loved Borgen, The Bridge and the Killing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 We watched the pilot episode of The Killing last night, we are obviously a bit slow with catching up with this. However really enjoyed it and looking forward to watching all the other episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes55 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 You'll be gone a while then I hadn't realised quite how many episodes there were Yesterday I found a DVD of Series 1 and Series 2 of The Bridge on eBay and bought that too as it was cheaper to buy both Series than just the 2nd one on Amazon. Looking forward to watching that too as I think it will be ages before it's shown on TV again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Well I've watched all the episodes of Mammon and I'm no wiser, I really cannot say I have a clue what I've been watching. Anyone else make it through to the end and care to enlighten me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I gave up on it after two episodes so no help from me I'm afraid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've got a couple of episodes to catch up on. Still not sure what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 We haven't started it yet. Perhaps reading The Guardian blog before we start might be a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
