What TV are you watching?

[Pblakeney]

Him off of spooks, and not that I have watched any of them, but seemingly 95% of the tv adaptations of Harlan Coben books.

If you enjoy plot twists and a trawler full of red herrings then give one of the Harlan series a viewing.

We enjoyed the series of The Blame on ITVx

Translation for TV is hard, made harder by the practical limitations of screen space and on screen pacing. Languages don't always translate simply, and to accurately translate a piece of dialogue might well require a great deal more 'wordage' than in the original language. That's not always practically possibly so approximation can be required.

I've chuckled at translations (from French) myself but have to respect the superior knowledge of the translator, and indeed have learnt from it as I've tried to reverse engineer the translation. That is, I know what the results are and I like to think about the path taken to get there. I find it worthwhile and aids my language understanding - even if I do think it a rubbish translation!

I love Blue Lights. I will probably have a massive binge watch soon.

Do it, it's good, & very on point with the storyline

Watched 4 episodes now of The Gentlemen series 2, it's brilliant. And fair play to Vinny Jones he's very good.

And cameo role for Chris Eubank Jr as well.

New series of Celeb Traitors last night

The Pitt on HBO Max is fantastic, binged all 3 series a little while back, well deserving of all its gongs. Like a super gritty ER

Reacher and Neagley on Amazon for violent, dgaf silliness

Apparently, The Blame on ITV is good so will watch that soon as mentioned above
Also Industry (as I have Myha'la in my work Traitors team )

I'll watch WAR which starts on Sky tonight and is being heavily trailed

I find that as long as the subtitles mean that I can follow the plot it is the actor’s emotions that carry the film/programme.
That is sufficient enough for me.

Another vote for "Colin from Accounts". Never heard of it before, but being Aussie I knew it wouldn't disappoint. It tackles some difficult issues with typical Aussie humour and unapologetic bluntness. The same main male character (Patrick Brammal) is also in "Last Seen" which is a drama and on Apple TV, but worth a watch if you have it.
