I thought this version did a much better job with Harriet than other versions have. I felt like she was more fleshed out, and as a result it was believable that she and Emma would be friends, whereas other versions make their relationship seem solely like a project for Emma. I love the BBC version with Romola Garai too but Harriet in that was like a simpleton.

Korean-Kingdom is a must watch as already mentioned by another poster.There's also a prequel movie on Netlfix they brought out last year.

Scandi stuff-Chestnut man (Danish) or the Valhalla murders are excellent examples of the genres. The bridge is another one (Danish, considered one of the best scandi noir shows made) and is on the TG4 player!

Tbh I'm not sure how seriously I can take such a list given that Netflix have said they consider someone watching 2 mins of something as a view. They've got very good data on where the credits start for their material (because they can trigger the UI to pop up recommendations and/or the "play next episode" button if you have autoplay disabled), so it's not like they couldn't actually check what portion of viewers stayed until the end.

It annoys me a bit that they don't differentiate between me bailing on Don't Look Up as a stinker after 30 minutes (1/5 of its runtime) and me watching all the way through Extraction, because "I watched more than 2 mins" tells you nothing more than "either I clicked into the right thing, or I clicked into the wrong thing but wasn't so immediately put off as to bail on it straight away". I can't see any case where it's a useful indicator of anything.

Bit late to the party, but Hellbound (Korean supernatural series) is excellent and earns it's 18 rating.

Thanks for that Mike, I watched all the scandi ones you mentioned, we have great taste 😁. I’ll give Korean-Kingdom a go so on your recommendation.

Looking for something a bit gritty after Sweet Tooth (which was excellent) so I'll this a go.

Didn't they change that recently? Think they measure hours watched now.

Though how accurate are they the anyway. Like if that list is based on hours watched, The Irishman has an advantage due to the length of the film. Assuming the films below it are at least 2 thirds of its length then adjusting The Irishman number to 2 thirds would put it below Enola.

No Prob- Glad to hear you liked the shows :)

If looking for more scandi shows- Trapped is the best show i've seen (Icelandic show). Seasons 1 and 2 are on prime but season 3 is supposed to be out shortly on Netflix- https://vodzilla.co/blog/vod-news/trapped-picked-up-by-netflix-for-season-3/

Deadwind is another show (Finnish) & is on Netflix. Really liked it but it's not as good as trapped!

Black Noel · 26-01-2022 06:55PM

Elysium is excellent for any sci-fi nutters out there.

bejeezus · 26-01-2022 06:58PM

The sinner ! Today! If it’s as good as series 1. But didn’t like 2

Black Noel · 26-01-2022 08:05PM

Looking at Munich: the edge of war now, very good.

Gremlinertia · 26-01-2022 09:02PM

The Luminaries was a good watch, bit surprised tbh as I was thinking a period piece but was much more to it..

New Ozark was great and the recap at the start saved me rewatching season three.

gmisk · 26-01-2022 09:47PM

I was bored and thought I would give Stay Close a go (I love Cush Jumbo)....hope for some entertaining cobblers...I am two episodes in...it is absolutely bonkers...and getting more bonkers by the minute...

Watched Munich: The Edge of War last night and enjoyed it immensely. The story is nicely weaved into the real history.

Mrs Sleepy wanted to watch Emma so we watched that too. Not really my thing but the cast (Bill Nighy in particular) looked as if they were having a ball.

Fysh · 27-01-2022 11:27AM

Fantastic! I was just thinking the other day about Deh-noh Coil, its take on AR seemed a much more interesting and prescient version than other stuff I saw around then (and it's still far ahead of all the Metaverse pish that Zuck is trying to hawk). Looking forward to watching the full season now.

The Bridge is great all right, but I think season 1 of The Killing is the best scandi tv series of them all. I’d put it in my top 5 of all time, up there with Sopranos, GOT, the wire and BB. Not sure what the order is probably gave to go GOT first anyway.

All4 is a gold mine for foreign tv shows, I would recommend one called all the sins (two series and third on the way).

Bbc4 had an excellent swedish one called the hunt for a killer if you have iplayer.

The stuff on Netflix is a bit hit and miss but the chestnut man was very good. Bordertown and the Valhalla murders also well worth a watch

Corcaigh84 · 27-01-2022 11:54AM

This trailer is worth watching solely for the WTF shock you will experience at 0:48 - watch until then and swiftly close the tab!

Don't know if it was mentioned before but thought Coming Home in the Dark was pretty good. Pretty grim stuff though.

Yeah The Bridge season 1 was class alright. Nearing the end of season 2 at the moment-Also very good. I've never seen the Killing but it's on my watch list. Any top 10 scandi best of list i've seen usually has the killing or the bridge at the top

I made the mistake a few years ago of watching Sky's 'The Tunnel' which is a copy of the Bridge before actually watching the Bridge. It ruined it for me.

I recently watched the Investigation which is about the killing of Danish journalist Kim Wall. Highly recommended and I thought it was very respectfully made.

Season 1 was brilliant. All the main characters have made it to season 4. F8ck knows how. The scum of the earth. Makes for good tv though….

Watched Win It all earlier. About a gambling addict. Really good. That losing feeling! 😳
