One of the great things about Netflix is how they've opened up the world to worldwide entertainment. Not just by making it easy to access but by promoting the shows too. After playing undead redemption with cowboys and zombies I'm surprised there aren't more historical zombie stories around. Kingdom looks like a good addition. The dogs of Berlin is well timed with Turkish organised crime constantly being in Berlin news along with Berlin political corruption and controversies over German football players meeting with erdogan. This looks like a timely mash up and as long as it is even handed and not too "good Vs bad" could be a good show. It's sort of ridiculous how I initially thought "it's in polish" when I'm watching all these other shows with subtitles (although I can barely grasp German ones). I'm struggling with man in high castle and the "what if ww2 went differently" genre lately (there was a BBC one that I only managed one episode of). But I do like the 80s setting particularly with a spy/cold war backdrop. Looks like I need to add some more reminders on Netflix Thanks for putting this up. I'll definitely give it a try.

As sharply as it has plummeted in quality, I still watch it. Can't wait to gripe about it in the forum thread For you! Kris Holden-Reid has a part (as a viking) this mid-season. As he's one of my all-time favorite actors to watch, ever since The Tudors and Lost Girl, I may have to watch anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First episode is chimps. This looks very good, will check that. The Netflix series is the one they've been working many years on, Netflix's "Planet Earth".

They have managed to turn what I always enjoyed as a quite magical tale, both book and movie, into the blandest type of nordi-murder drama.. seemingly removing anything that made the original interesting.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Das Boot trailer Quote Hulu has picked up U.S. rights to Das Boot, the series sequel to Wolfgang Petersen's Oscar-nominated anti-war classic from 1981. The new Das Boot, an eight-hour miniseries set in the period just following Petersen's film, has presold to more than 100 territories ahead of its debut. In addition to Hulu, Starzplay has nabbed the mini for France and Latin America, while AMC has picked up rights for Spain and Portugal. SBS took Australia and MNET nabbed rights in South Africa, among other deals. Sky Deutschland, which produced Das Boot with Bavaria Fiction and Sonar Entertainment, will premiere the series across German-speaking Europe on Nov. 23. It will go out simultaneously on Sky in the U.K. and Ireland. Sky Italia will air the series later in the year. Budgeted at just over $30 million, Das Boot features stars Vicky Krieps (The Phantom Thread), Tom Wlaschiha (Game of Thrones), August Wittgenstein (The Crown), Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex), James D'Arcy (Broadchurch), Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) alongside up-and-coming talents including Rick Okan, Pit Bukowski, Philip Birnstiel and Julius Feldmeier. Andreas Prochaska (The Dark Valley) directed. The story, from co-writers Tony Saint and Johannes W. Betz, starts in the fall of 1942, after the Allies have cracked the German military's Enigma code and can track the movement of their submarine fleets. Serving on a German U-boot becomes little more than a suicide mission. The new series follows the crew of an ill-fated submarine that launches on its inaugural mission from Nazi-occupied France, as well as the stories of the family and friends they leave behind and that of French resistance fighters taking on the Nazi regime from the inside.

Pecan Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 A show I've been waiting for is S2 of Bordertown aka "Sorjonen" as it is known in Finland where it is made. S1 was on Netflix last year and it was great. Now the second season is out, but it seems not yet picked up by Netflix or anyone else. I hope this changes soon as S1 was very entertaining.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Berlin Station Season 3 Trailer Quote Intense as always, Epix’s Berlin Station is back for its third season on Sunday, December 2 with uncanny geopolitical timeliness once again. Now showrun by former House of Cards producer Jason Horwitch, this diamond-in-the-rough CIA thriller moves outside the German capital this year, but the intrigue level translates quite effectively as horizons broaden and Russian motivations come to the fore. Richard Armitage, Michelle Forbes, Keke Palmer, Rhys Ifans, Ashley Judd, Richard Jenkins and Leland Orser are all back, with highly effective new additions in Ismael Cruz Córdova and James Cromwell. “Berlin Station becomes the tip of the spear, Fort Apache, out in front of an unfolding global crisis of Russia’s making,” the former House of Cards and Luke Cage producer adds of the Epix spy drama.

And I just watched a trailer on Fox for The Passage. Little bit (hesitantly) excited for it. ETA Urghhh Ridley Scott though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Oh cool, thanks. It’ll be interesting to see if they can pull off the tension of the books. The intense interview scenes in Line of Duty always kind remind me of the interrogation scenes in the Dublin books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
