Been watching it on catch-up, with sub-titles on (well, they're never off these days) I am loving it. And the gorgeous bit of rough very pleasant detective whose name I can't remember.

Douglas Henshall.

That's the one. smile

Yes, he used to be Dougie Henshall but in recent years he's always called 'Douglas'. Must have more gravitas...grin

They introduce so many different characters every week when I nip out to put the kettle on I miss a bit and then I'm trying to figure out who they all are for the rest of the episode.

I enjoyed it tonight. I felt I could not nip out anywhere as there was something going on all of the time. I do record it as well just in case. I think I know what is going on now, well almost.

Don't tell me! Only got the first 5 mins before I had to retrieve dgs from a sleepover because he wasn't feeling well. It's recorded for viewing tomorrow instead. Dgs now asleep in our bed and DH relegated to spare room.

Kept nodding off - but wanted to watch it! Will get it on catch-up tomorrow. Woke up with a start to find DH watching something horrible about murderers in a Polish prison.... confused

I kept nodding off too. Will have to watch it again. Try to sort it out.

We watched last week's (for the second time) immediately before this week's. It really helped! I do hope Tosh isn't dead! sad

I love it, it's our very own bit of non-Nordic Noir! I think there's another goodie starting tonight, possibly on BBC4?

Me too kitty, but it's not looking good.

Trapped, I think it is Icelandic. Looked ok to me so will give it a go. Though I do miss sunny Sicily.

Trapped, set in Iceland. More Nordic Noire. I'll take a look. There's a series of mysteries by Michael Ridpath, set in Iceland - Fire and Ice - which gives an interesting portrayal of Icelandic culture, mythology and scenery.

I'm really enjoying Shetland. I think I've watched it before but didn't find it as gripping as this series.

I'm also very much enjoying Vera. I think Brenda Blethyn is great in the part and it's a strong cast all round.

Charleygirl Sun 14-Feb-16 15:43:25

I am enjoying both also.
