there's some fantastic gang bosses in this, in some cases they look like factory workers that have just won 30k on a scratchcard last week.

"imboscata"
― mark s, Thursday, 30 August 2018 22:45 (five years ago) link
an interesting thing in gomorrah series one -- i'd have to rewatch to firm up how i feel abt it, and whether it "works" -- is there's an odd mobility to yr feel for some of the main characters, not just yr identification with them but how on top of their own story you feel they are. partly this is bcz the action takes place over several years, and two or three of them grow up and grow hard and perhaps grow "bad" (a very relative idea in this drama), and their relative capabilities w.r.t. one another shift
(don't spoiler me! i'm watching e12 s1 right now -- i think i know how it will end but i could be completely wrong!)

it's bad! hannibal lecter retread except hannibal is an elegant enigmatic lady of stonefaced sorrows and clarice starling is her son
i: everyone's house is VAST and FANCY! evidently kevin mcloud was on hand when it was designed and didn't believe they'd get it finished before the ep endedii: lol turning a chateau into a makeshift lecter-cage (who is tending the GARDEN?) iii: the key tec -- the son -- is a charisma-free pod iv: the lecter lady's name is (and this is honestly where suspension of critical faculties turned into hooting disbelief) MRS CARROT

I would watch this if she were a large animate carrot who is a vegetarian cannibal.

If you haven’t reached the end yet, it gets even worse.
I like Carol Bouquet and Frederique Bel but this was ghastly and, in the end, enormously offensive.

Is Trapped (the Icelandic series) on Netflix? I just watched Season 2 on Amazon Prime and it's really good.

fairly sure trapped was originally broadcast on BBC2 in the uk: it is indeed very good

Trapped is excellent - sent me down a rabbithole of grim Scandi-et-al crime dramas for a long while after but this one really was one of the best of them for me. Olafur Olafsson is so good!Loved Babylon Berlin SO much. They’re doing a second season apparently.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 05:08 (four years ago) link
Babylon Berlin mostly hooked me for how well-studied the look was. That whole thing of dressing up but still looking sweaty & desperate is very specific & they pulled it off amazingly well. Plus lots of Bryan Ferry Orchestra :D
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 05:10 (four years ago) link
Trapped is pretty much perfect VG, I agree, and it really is better than most. I've got the second season lined up. Love me some grim Nordic viewing in the summertime.

i have started watching "The Could’ve-Gone-All-the-Way Committee," alternatively translated from the Japanese as "The Almost Got Laid Committee." In each episode, a guy (I think they're all guys) comes before the three-member committee, comprising a karate master, a businesswoman, and a rock star in a floppy hat, and tells them about a time he almost got laid. The committee investigates and rules on whether or not he could've.

Money Heist is very good, even though season 2 is approaching Breaking Bad levels of ridiculous brinksmanship. Subtitles are very bad, clearly produced by a non-native speaking robot.
El Ministerio del Tiempo is goofy fun, I'm only 3 episodes in but so far it seems more light soap opera than high stakes drama, even when they were actually plotting to kill Hitler. Doesn't look so good, ep 2 in particular looks like it was shot at ISO 256000.
― The Pingularity (ledge), Tuesday, 6 August 2019 10:39 (four years ago) link
I watch Money Heist with the subtitles and dub on (I don't know if that is different for everyone) and it's weird how they don't match.
Even with the ridiculousness, I still love it. I want another season.
