According to my search engine it's on Rarbg, 1337x, zoogle, eztv, magnetdl and others. Looks very good on magnetdl.

Just watched Those who wish to kill me, starring Angelina Jolie. Not bad.

 

Just about to start on a TV series called Startup. A recommendation from a friend.

No I can only see the Swedish version on all those sites Ivor.... I have noticed that the same sites Rarbg etc sometimes have different addresses for different areas---but at the moment all those sites you mentioned --for me have been 2019 version Swedish.

The Kominsky Method

 

Netflix - 3 seasons. 22 episodes.

 

Took me a couple of episodes to fully get into this as I'm not a fan of multi-season series especially if they're fiction.

But this one I thoroughly enjoyed as I was looking for something to watch that didn't include the usual story lines involving murders, detectives, drugs or wars etc.

 

Lots of Hollywood stars that I hadn't seen for decades pop up here and there and it was on around episode 20 that I realised that Kathleen Turner had been in most of the previous episodes. Boy, has she changed.

????

Before We Die-- got to episode 4  (6 episodes) This is just my opinion, but I found it quite flat, the acting a bit Hammy--and the plot not so great with lots of holes---Quite surprised as it had good write ups, and as they brought the series from Sweden, who are doing some good stuff, also had some well known actors......so thought it would be a good thriller.......Maybe I am just getting to picky .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Lover, My Killer---Ch -5 Doco-- 6 episodes--(separate stories) 2  out now

 

"British true crime documentary series telling the real life stories of those who paid the ultimate price for offending an obsessive lover"

It has pretty poor reviews TBH.

 

I really enjoyed the Swedish series.

 

Quite often these series based on European shows are quite bad IMO.

Yer there have been others with bad reviews that have been OK and Vice Versa.

but, If you enjoyed the Swedish series ---why wouldn't it be just as good with the UK, actors ?

 

I just sat there thinking why did you pay writers to rewrite this and then shoot it all again in England-- you might as well done a "Netflix" and just dubbed it in English.

As a general rule of thumb, I find that if something has a lot of bad reviews, it's generally not that good.

The Swedish version rates 7.7 compared to the UK version of 5.8.

 

Even though the series are based on another one, there are too many different variables.

Script writers, actors etc.

 

It's like Bron/Broen AKA The Bridge

The character played by Sofia Helin just couldn't be replicated in the US version.

Script is already written isn't it---your just tweaking it for a different location--Actors -I thought the UK ones were (usually) as good as their counterparts in Europe.

Forbrydelsen (The Killing) seem to start all this Scandi viewing off-it was a big TV hit, Girl Dragon Tattoo movie etc .

 

Anyway someone is bound to come on and tell me how they really enjoyed "Before we Die"  what are you talking about ....????

-----------------------------------------------

Just on a different issue--what is it with UK -TV and IPlayer? They put the whole series out on iplayer but weekly on TV -- saw the same with The Pact.... just seems like they are treating the TV views badly-- I know you have iplayer Will--but if I can I just like to watch everything on a great big 64inch HD  TV screen.

It's only based on the Swedish version, It's not word for word.

Different directors, etc.

This is a genuine question - Can’t you use a VPN and run iplayer on your big ass TV?

 

I have a vpn to the Netherlands for security reasons, but I tried a few trials from VPN providers on my TV but they didn’t work. It works out easier to DL.

 

For me, it’s all about picture quality - you seem to get a much better quality from a  DL. 

Am I missing out by not having a VPN?

Watching those who kill 02 at the moment - it’s got to be one of the darkest Scandinavian shows of them all.

I don't have iplayer.

I have messed around with it a few times to look at the odd show.

 

These days, I usually just wait until the whole series has been downloaded and then download it.

I've just done that with Mare of Easttown.

I've used VPN's in the past on my TV for sport mainly.

There can be a lot of messing around getting geoblocked etc.

 

I just download now.

 

Just finished Those Who Kill yesterday, really enjoyed it.

Yes but I prefer to download---- as you say, pick what quality you want "Blue Ray...etc

Also I live Thailand, I hardly watch anything live, including the football/Boxing etc, cant stay awake now, so just get up the next morning.

 

I have had some VPNs over the years, but I don't really need one in Thailand at the moment.  I think porn sites are about the only thing banned here. In Oz there were just so many sites blocked--- Wikileaks named it "The Great Firewall of Australia" and decided to give a link to every site they had blocked. but Wiki was blocked as well.

I watch Australian Rules Football via a paid service with no VPN but the time difference isn't that big.

 

I enjoy UFC but prefer to download it.

A typical UFC event easily goes over 4 hours but when you fast foward

and leave out the ads, promotions and other <deleted>, it's usually just over an hour.

[recom273]

@Will27 @sanuk711Thanks for your feedback - basically am not missing anything. 
I’m always really confused when I read the AV forum why put so much effort into getting the right VPN, I guess the answer is sport.

Anne Boleyn ----BBC --last night...3 episodes

The final months of Boleyn's life, her struggle with Tudor England's patriarchal society, her desire to secure a future for her daughter, Elizabeth, and the brutal reality of her failure to provide Henry with a male heir.

 

Yes there have been (Just) a few comments about the picking of the lead in Anne Boleyn.

 

In Fact--Historians are now reviewing possible meaning of the entry in Henry’s diary “Going to try to get rid of blackhead on top of wife’s shoulder today......

Just downloaded the first episode from Chaos .i love these woke series ,cant wait for one about Robert Mugabe  played by a white actor .

anyway apart from the fact they use Black actors for white parts and throw in a bit of lesbian stuff ,its a very badly made series ,i would give it 3 out of 10 ,turned off before the end .

Am into the 3rd episode and think is pretty good. The English version with Lesley Sharp. 

 

Don't know why IMDB gives it a low rating

    Before we die ***Spoilers*** don't read if you are going to watch

*****                  ******                   ****                        ******

Daffy I like Lesley sharp a lot--she always acts like she is on Valium, but thats been her style of acting , but this plot seems so thin--- Do you think that you could share a prison cell with a guy for 18 months , be friends with him, but he doesn't know you speak his native language, so when he gets you  a job where their all talking about big drug deals going down around him in Croatian language and saying --don't have to worry about him, he only speaks English.

 

...Wow Even the Bar girls are more wary than that.....LOL
