Chigurh Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 60 Days In - American doco about life in a county prison. Volunteers have been placed in the prison to try and uncover corruption. It's heavily edited but it's kept my interest so far for 13 out of 16 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And better than ever. The Americans must be spitting chips when they see a series like this - a complex, interwoven plot that unfurls in a relaxed easy-to-follow way, great acting, sexy women, no over-the-top violence. Contrast that with the usual cartoon American crap. Edited June 21, 2020 by Bronal 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't have said it better, I find it offensive to the arts when I think of their cookie cutter approach to even their best quality stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McP Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 next series to binge on? Shadow Lines https://www.nordiskfilmogtvfond.com/news/interview/shadow-lines-creators-make-a-splash-with-finnish-50s-spy-thriller < Promoted on the Croisette by director AJ Annila (The Eternal Road, Jade Warrior), co-writer Katri Manninen and co-stars Emmi Parviainen and Olavi Uusivirta, the Finnish premium show attracted a lot of interest from all types of buyers, according to global distributor About Premium Content. “Now that we’ve launched the show, we will share screeners with world buyers, but it looks extremely promising,” said Laurent Boissel, joint CEO of the boutique global distributor. “The spy thriller set in the 1950s successfully mixes genres; it’s both humorous and dark, original and edgy, and the production value is extremely high. It stands out on the market, which is essential in today’s saturated market. We expect to do as well with it as we did with the Norwegian show Valkyrien”, asserts Boissel. Set in Helsinki in the 1950s, the thriller follows a secret intelligence team whose mission is to defend Finland’s independence, while the KGB and CIA are trying to meddle in the local presidential elections. Helena (Emmi Parviainen), a student freshly returned from the US, joins the secret Finnish task force. But hidden truths about her own past start to resurface, colliding with her job. > https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/shadow-lines < In the summer of 1955, the Cold War is intensifying in Helsinki. Both the Soviet Union and the United States increase their intelligence activities, as they’re both afraid of Finland taking the other one’s side with the presidential election approaching. The CIA supports candidate Karl August Fagerholm, and the KGB supports candidate Urho Kekkonen, but who is on Finland’s side? Helena Korhonen, a young Finnish woman studying in New York, finds herself in a situation where she has to defend herself until her knuckles bleed. > regards Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren69 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Am bingeing the second series of Tin Star, not as gritty as the first one but still very watchable. We will watch Zero Zero Zero next and then Baghdad Central I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just as good as previous seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention a shame as nothing else worth watching. Try a second hand Telstra TV thingy. Edited September 5, 2020 by Darren69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronal Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Has anyone else noticed the increase in the frequency of ads on SBS On Demand? I recently timed ads occurring every four minutes when I was watching Blinded. This is insulting to viewers, as it assumes they are mere gullible idiots who are influenced by gobs of commercial garbage thrust at them with monotonous regularity. I assume SBS gets around the advertising code on frequency of ads because On Demand isn't strictly speaking a FTA service. Of course, SBS isn't the only culprit - YouTube is in on the game as is FaceBook. I wonder how long before Netflix joins in and we are then offered Netflix Premium without ads for another $5 a month. Covid-19 must be a godsend for media advertising, given that we haven't many other options at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
