BBC4, 9pm Flemish Drama
At last - a new European drama series. The last couple of weeks (since that Danish historical thing (not bad '1864' (not a holiday company!)) have been one-off films.
The first was something like Echoes of the Dead was quite good, about a woman who lost a child some years previously, going back to visit her father who she blamed for not looking after the child and uncovering the past. The following week was something I couldn't get into, didn't watch much of, and forgotten already. But tonight and for the next few weeks on Saturdays at 9pm on BBC4:- "Cordon: A deadly virus is discovered to be spreading quickly through the city of Antwerp. In Flemish with English subtitles." |

Jordskott has got too odd for me too follow I have lost the plot.And it kind of reminds me to much of Canadian drama The Forst what was low budget wannabe Twin Peak,with the Wallander kind of crossover and I got bored and characters are very Wooden.Hopefully Cordon is abit better and got more interesting characters and does not ware thin.

I spotted "The Saboteurs" yesterday on More4 at 9pm and caught part 4/6.
It's about the WW2 raid on Telemark heavy water plant in Norway. I thought it was good but I missed the first three parts as I wasn't aware of it. Thread: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2081838 Please consider posting a link in this thread to any new thread about something in this genre just to keep us all aware of new series. This is a minority interest and with no name recognition of new series it's easy for a thread not to be recognised and slip off page one and out of sight. (A note to the usual people: yes, we all know that subtitles are no guarantee of quality!) Cordon (dangerous virus alert in Antwerp) continues on BBC4 tonight. |

I was out when it finished and recorded it.
(Must get around to watching sometime. Am I risking spoilers?) Something different on BBC4 tonight: Young Montalbano. |

Thanks for that, I didn't realise it was going to be shown so soon after the first. It was a strange series, the characters weren't very likeable. As the series went on you got to see why they were like that, although it was still hard to warm to them! It was a bit bleak with moments of humour and was well acted I thought.

I've often thought we need a meeting point for fans of these dramas, not to discuss any one in particular but to announce and talk about what's coming up, which ones you enjoyed or would like to see and comparing different series.
In the past there have been series other than those on BBC4 and I missed the start because I didn't know they were onand didn't see the appropriate channel listings. You can't search for a thread igfyou don't know the title! Please announce series here on this thread but for discussion of the 'current' ones in detail please start a thread and put a link in this thread. Coming up tonight Montalbano 9pm BBC4. Not sure but probably a repeat. |

Excellent idea for a thread. I love these subtitled dramas, I'm a dreamer so they help me concentrate and keep up with the storylines ( which somehow seem better than our dramas) . Romanzo Criminale was amazing.
This thread depends on all of us who watch any of these dramas alerting the rest of us by posting a message here when they come across news of a subtitled drama. So please remember to post a message on this thread even if you also start a separate thread for a new subtitled drama. Mike65: I did watch Resistance on More4 on Friday. It looks like it'll be good though I'm not sure yet. One positive indication is that I started to care about the characters! I noticed they kept referring to Germans as 'the Hun' which feels awkward but was probably understandable as they were figures of hate in the minds of the oppressed French in occupied France. I forget now whether this was in subtitles only or whether I noticed it in their dialogue. Anyway, detailed discussion of Resistance may merit a dedicated thread. I'm still enjoying Young Montalbano repeats on BBC4 but there's only one left. What's next? |

Thanks MichPlat. I (mostly) love them too and I agree that having to read to understand helps me concentrate on the story while for English language ones I often zone out or watch when I'm online and only paying partial attention.

Last night's Wallander was an enjoyable rip-off of Day of the Jackal I thought. Quite daring to not even feature Kurt until more than 15 minutes had passed. Threw me when it started off in English - Wondered if we were going to get some ancient dubbed version! Other than the usual ropey picture quality I didn't understand why it went out in a graveyard slot - Deserved better.
