It was very good considering every single episode was effectively a bottle episode. It takes a talented writer/film maker to make that watchable. Which somehow they really did.
I never thought about that, you got very little on the main characters either. It was all about the suspects though. On that note another great one on crime is mindhunter on netflix. The casting for the seriel killers are top notch.
Used to like watching The Professionals as a kid. Can't remember much about the storylines but the cars I can remember - Mark II escorts and Capris!
Yeah Mindhunter is great and as you say the casting is phenomenal, to get unknowns (for the most part) who are not only brilliant actors but look exactly like the real killers must have taken some doing. The big bloke was especially good, I forget his name, Ed something?
Yeah that was who I had in mind, Ed Kemper I think the killers names is (I think the actor is in the umbrella academy as the hitman). The 3rd series is a bit delayed due to covid I think?
I'm trying to think of the last police series I didn't find dull. Elementary I suppose, but that was Holmes dropped into a police procedural. They're all a bit generic crime drama these days. Difficult to tell them apart. I enjoyed the Dennis Nielsen one but that was a mini series.
Unfortunately not no, it's on indefinite hold while David Fincher works on other projects, not technically cancelled but it probably may as well be. On the plus side one of the things he's working on is a prequel series to Chinatown which should be right up my street.
Criminal: UK. I believe there is a Spanish and German one hence the UK bit. Well worth a watch. Short episodes and as another poster said each episode it the story done and dusted but it's different.
Lots of people have moaned at the bbc and said they didn’t enjoy it last night because of them using a lot of initials . Anyone feel the same . I didn’t notice , not heard the term CHIS before , but surely easy to see they were talking about someone undercover or a snitch
