I watched The Chestnut Man over two evenings. It has six episodes so easy to do. I think six episodes is the correct length. It moves along at a fairly quick pace and any more episodes would have dragged it out too much.

I'm a big fan of Nordic Noir and this one always kept my interest. The lead female character is by no means as engrossing as Sarah Lund, Saga Norén or even Karppi from Deadwind, but she plays her role well and I've no problem with her. Likewise for her partner. It doesn't add anything new to the genre but it is a decent mystery in its own right. Recommended for fans of the genre with the caveat that it doesn't do anything new or innovative and other shows have more interesting lead characters. It does have a few tense scenes though.

Just watched Gemini Man

Brutal

Just came on to recommend this !

Great watch

Untold Crime and Penalties is the name. The Untold series in general has been really good. The basketball one Malice at the Palace was excellent

I watched all 5 of the untold episodes and they were all excellent but I thought the Christy Martin and Caityln Jenner episodes in particular were superb
