soundfan Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 A brilliant French spy/political thriller series. The Bureau. I have nearly finished Season 1, Season 2 is available with Season 3 available late next week. Hope it maintains it's form, it really is quality drama. 2

Darren69 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) I reckon Jordskott and 1864:Denmarks War are my faves so far but I do love them all. Yet to see a bad one, we have nearly watched all of them, haha. Very bad for your health! Edited September 15, 2017 by Darren69 1

In fact, I would go so far as to say it's one of the best series of recent years. The French are staring to come up with some crackers. One thing I've noticed is that they tend not to use smart phones a lot - I assume the reason is short battery life and bulkiness. 1
soundfan Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Before I started watching season 2 of The Bureau, I came across Mama's Angel, an excellent Israeli series. http://www.sbs.com.au/guide/article/2017/09/15/kids-halos-are-slipping-mamas-angel (SBS On Demand)
Ian McP Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 What We Do In The Shadows. If you haven't seen it yet, do so now! https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/815836739876/what-we-do-in-the-shadows
Ian McP Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Shadow World 14 days left to catch this one , started watching it last night, very disturbing. See what British BAE Systems got up to with Saudi Arabia and other stories of massive arms trading and bribery https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/467883075935/shadow-world < A devastating and courageous exploration of the international arms trade – the only business that counts its profits in billions and its costs in human lives. >
Bronal Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 I'm now watching the second series of Mammon. An excellent taut, cynical political thriller. Riviera is becoming a guilty pleasure. Pure soap, but very enjoyable.
Graceman Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 +1 for The Bureau and Mamas Angel, and I highly recommend Before we Die (also Swedish) 1

keyse1 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Got it working today literally 10 minutes ago without any trouble at all after a week of being frozen so sick of passwords and the countless requests for them Edited October 22, 2017 by keyse1
Darren69 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Posted November 26, 2017 Been watching Sunshine which is quite good if you can ignore the blatant PC angle. Some good actors in there.
Graceman Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Good to see Jordskott series 2 is now available. 1 1
Graceman Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 ..and I've just been watching the excellent Spiral series 4.
Guest Muon N' Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Was on SBS FTA and not on demand but the doco' on the scanning of the Great Pyramid using Muons was an interesting watch Likely available on SBS On Demand after It's airing.
betty boop Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 watched Wadjda the other evening https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/1085796931664/wadjda great little movie. about a 10 year old girl growing up in saudi arabia. gives a good insight into life there and the challenges faced. a very cute film... I was particularly taken I think because my daughter her self is a pretty similar age and I only just in the last year so taught her how to ride a bike... how life in different societies can be so different ! to a certain extent am amazed this film was made and appears to be a saudi-german co production.

The French are producing some excellent series - Spiral, Spin, the Bureau etc. I missed the earlier series of Spiral and Jordskott. I'm now catching up on series 1 of Jordskott before moving to Series 2. For some reason it reminds me of Twin Peaks - maybe it's the location. I don't find it as tight as the other Nordic Noir series and it's a little slow in comparison. But I'm persevering.
Darren69 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Posted December 10, 2017 Am loving the third series of Bosch, missed the second one somehow. It expires soon. Then Jordskott!! Woohoo, soo happy to see that back, one of my absolute faves. Not sure I have seen any Spiral. Loved The Bureau, highly recommended.
Guest Muon N' Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 I subscribed to On Demand earlier today, and now just emailed them to remove that subscription. The number of scripts and cross scripting on any page to view anything is crazy! And i rather not compromise browser security to that level.

All I ever get is a dialog box telling me the login has been improved, or sometimes a box asking if I really want to exit.
Guest Muon N' Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) @bronal Scripts run behind the scenes, they are only visible if you look deeper or you have a script blocker add-on that shows them. Anyway, these things don't concern 99% or people on the internet, I'm just pedantic regarding security and privacy. Edited December 11, 2017 by Muon N' Typo

Yes, I tried to watch something on Ten's on demand last week and the same thing happened. I think Ghostery got up to 45 different scripts, and 3 were categorised as dangerous. I gave up and downloaded from i-tunes. I emailed 10's privacy concerns address but of course I don't expect a response. Most of it is Google's usual data mining, but there were some other creepies in there. I'm glad I'm not the only paranoid one out there.
Darren69 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Posted December 11, 2017 I just have a PVR with it all 'loaded' so am not sure what is happening with you guys. 1
