Land Girls was interesting

WW2 women put into farming and lumber jobs to replace the missing men and extract all the war material available locally.
A bit of romanticism and spy stuff thrown in.

Yes, and I enjoyed doc Martin. I find the Indian doctor is a bit more “serious” in its themes. Excellent characters and actors!

Tell ya what I will be watching but at the theater. The Bikeriders which comes out this Friday. According to the trailer looks like me might see some blade action. Sure looks like one heck of a biker movie with plenty of action. Am sure some here will be checking it out too!

Have you seen “Mr Bates vs the Post Office?”

Mr Bates vs The Post Office - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

There is the 4-part drama that aired on public TV and a separate 45” documentary (is based on true story). Must see, IMO. Also google the title and check under news—is still active.

Also, the Indian doctor was based on a true story or events. Seems to make for better shows.

I"ll check it out.

I remember the news, plenty of managers charged with fraud, some suicides and lots of grief.

That’s the one! Truly unbelievable, and it seems this drama may have been pivotal in focusing public awareness and forcing steps to resolve the issue. Sadly too late for some.

Yes, I've watched it.

I had 5 years of forced French in school so it's not my favourite.

but they did a good job of it.
Her character was suprising sometimes, sort of veering into the autism lane.

I found this quite good. Not too long, but nicely wrapped up ending.

Main character actress was Trixie on Deadwood.

Forced French, yes not great.

I think that was the description of the female detective, at least originally. Maybe it is no longer PC.

I really like the lead male detective. Saw he was described as actor’s actor.

IMO, this French/English version is better than the American/mexican rendition:

And I have not seen the original Danish Swedish preproduction. All subtitles.
