laurie plays a total cunt so surely if you hate him it 'works'?
olivia colman's not horrible, david harewood's not horrible, douglas hodge, elizabeth debicki etc
apart from the slightly unrealistic lack of surveillance cameras i've been sucked right into every twist and turn

for me, this years best thriller so far : trapped.
it should still all be up on the iplayer.
highly recommended.
however, make sure you put the heating on before you watch it.

no, first episode was 13 Feb 2016 so that's gone now.
(i've not watched it yet, what with this and all the Walter Presents stuff that they are showing at the moment there are like 3 or so decent foreign dramas running at the same time and i find it hard to keep up)

speaking of which
Deutschland 83 was ok, cold war germany, but it was focussed on 25 year olds and i had difficulty caring.Spin 1 (FR) was like a less interesting Borgen.Resistance (FR, last year) WWII resistance had the same problems as DE83.Thicker than water (SE) - not seen yet
and the new BBC4Follow The Money (DA) - not seen yet

Trapped >> D83 > Spin > Night Manager of the ones I've seen

The Norwegian series Okkupert is pretty good. It might even get better by season 2.

it's 2016!
series 2 of Spin (FR) was like a less interesting version of series 1. i lasted 1.5 episodes and deleted the rest unwatched.
watched all 10 hours of Trapped (IS) over the weekend and it held my attention but it didn't feel particularly icelandic to me, was nothing much to differentiate it from other scandi noir. i liked the irony of getting trapped in a freezer in iceland though. they really should put handles on the inside of those things.
Blue Eyes (SW) has started to replace Spin on friday nights. synopsis sounds identical to Spin S1E1 though 8)

yeah, ep 1 of LOD was very good.hope the rest keeps up the pace.watched the bbc3/bbc2 drama, thirteen, yesterday.not too bad.a few sticky points about it, but overall, it was very well done.
