Watched first two of Modus. Waiting for the boss to come back before seeing the next. Hoping it will be good.

We're quite enjoying Collateral on BBC2. Interesting cast, some unsettling scenes.

I really quite liked Trauma which was a 4 part program on BBC I think, last week. The ending was a little meh, but otherwise the overall program was excellent and the actors were really good.

Keep your eyes out for Counterpart ... Featuring the most excellent J K SimmonsI can't find any information on when this might be coming to the UK. Does anyone know?

Modus 2 is a bit different so far. Only seen one episode though. We do get a bit sick of the mindless killers with seemingly super powers until they finally get caught / usually shot dead. There's a new Swedish police drama, Hassel. Well 2017. Not made it to these shores yet I think. We'll start that after Modus..

I've watched about 6 of Modus 2 so far. It's ok but I preferred the first series which was much smaller scale and more understated.
They've gone big budget and very ambitious on this one.
I think a lot of the charm of the earlier Scandi noir is that they were quite low key - it was all about good characters and atmosphere ...

Difficult to visualise the US President having that much leeway in Modus
If only they had chosen someone close to her.
Have a horrible feeling the story will end badly for us. Too many annoying characters for me. We have done 4 or 6 so far.
I like to see our heroes using their *brains* and not putting themselves in danger when they could cover themselves easily enough

Well I bought a brand new DVD box set of The Killing Season 2 but have decided that my eyes are far too used to watching HD material so will buy the bluray with seasons 1-3 and be done with it ...
If anyone wants it very cheaply let me know!

I must be very different. Watch most on SD from the Tivo.
Odd when I consider how much into music I am - and even the sound from the Tivo and TV

We're still enjoying Rebecka Martinsson, the characterisations are getting deeper and the storylines remain good. That harsh environment is poignant while we're suffering from it ourselves.

It's grim upp north The further north you go, the fewer words they have.. taken to the extreme most things can be answered by a sound made simply by sucking air in at the same time as saying Jo. Hard to write - suuujoo is as near as I can get.. but suck in air as you say it. Look serious while you say it, now you are a little bit Norrlänning I'm enjoying watching Rome again. I definitely have Roman and Scandi in me I feel it - one day a dna test perhaps..

Going to try Rebecka Martinsson tonight as found it on C4 catch-up ... Finished Modus but a bit underwhelmed to be honest.

Missing Rebecka Martinsson now that it's finished. Enjoyed Collateral too, and that's now ended.
Have Rough Justice (Belgian/Flemish with subtitles) lined up for Friday on More4.

We watched 'Save Me' this week. I am not going to say we enjoyed it, because the subject line is pretty horrible, but the acting was excellent and it was certainly very thought provoking.

Missing Rebecka Martinsson now that it's finished. Watched ep1 last night and really enjoyed it - I love getting to see the Swedish countryside in shows like this ...
