Did anyone see this , I've just watched it on i player ? My word, it was tense. Beautifully filmed in Amsterdam with the wonderful Julien Baptiste back in action .

First episode very promising tiredoldwoman let's hope the rest of the series follows suit.
I enjoyed the Amsterdam setting as well.

I loved it. It did bring a tear to my eye though as I miss living there especially seeing the bulb fields.

I watched Endevour but recorded this. It does sound promising.

I really liked it - have recorded Endeavour.

Telly Mon 18-Feb-19 14:12:38

I watched it - no subtitles! Yes, very tense and twists at the end. I am hoping for not too much gore!

Baptiste was always my favourite character in "The Missing"
mainly because he appears sympathique. So his own series is very welcome for Sunday evening now Les Miserables has finished. Dark and tense, nearly jumped out of my skin at the scene filmed at The Deal Beach House, but won't give any spoilers. Tom Hollander is also another actor I like, but clearly not all he seems

Great to see Baptiste again. Very exciting and Tom Hollander is such a good actor
Bit annoyed that it clashes with Endeavor and Traitors. Watch one, record one and watch the other on catch up !!!!

What a charismatic actor he is and Tom Hollander is wonderful too. I’m sure the story will have lots of twists and turns. I hope it is as good as Series Two of The Missing which was amazing with Keeley Hawes and David Morissey As the parents of the missing girl.

Have recorded this, so pleased it’s good.

SPOILER ALERT!

Tom Hollander is also another actor I like, but clearly not all he seems
I kept thinking of him as the vicar but just knew …...

trisher Mon 04-Mar-19 10:43:54

SPOILER ALERT!
Did anyone else find Mme Baptiste's escape a bit unbelievable? She out ran that fit young man? He would have grabbed her before she reached the stairs.
Still it is great. Tom Hollander has flipped from good to bad and back again!

Jalima1108 Mon 04-Mar-19 11:58:19

that must have happened when I nodded off!
I'm not finding this as riveting as The Missing.

sodapop Mon 04-Mar-19 12:00:23

Suspend disbelief Trisher Tom H is really good in this series I think. I'm enjoying it gory bits and all.

Luckygirl Mon 04-Mar-19 12:40:06

I am trying to get my head round who the brain-damaged young man in a hospital was at the beginning. confused

trisher Mon 04-Mar-19 12:58:31

Jalima1108 you didn't see it. She told Baptiste when she was in the laundromat-when she had escaped to!

Gonegirl Mon 04-Mar-19 12:59:19

I've got to watch yesterday's one again. I'm beginning to lose it. Do love Tom Hollander. And the actor who plays Baptiste.

Jalima1108 Mon 04-Mar-19 14:01:39

Oh, thank you trisher
perhaps I only had forty winks then.

Alima Mon 04-Mar-19 14:18:04

Is it Tom Hollander’s bottom on display in The Night Manager? Do wonder as the TH in this is very uninspiring. Pasty face, moobs, the lot. Do like the actor who plays Baptiste even though I cannot pronounce his name. (Forgive rambling post but have come over all of a dither since I read that they are going to do another Last Tango in Halifax. And Happy Valley.)

Jalima1108 Mon 04-Mar-19 14:20:58

No, that was Tom Hiddleston Alima

Tom Hollander played a hapless vicar opposite Olivia Coleman in 'Rev.'

Jalima1108 Mon 04-Mar-19 14:22:13

although he was also in The Night Manager as Lance Corcoran (Corky) for which he won a BAFTA.

Alima Mon 04-Mar-19 14:23:44

That does make sense. Tom Hollander really doesn’t have what it takes without the bottom. Thank you Jalima.

Jalima1108 Mon 04-Mar-19 14:26:08

ooh, I don't know
the best things come in small packages
wink

Alima Mon 04-Mar-19 14:27:28

Moobs Jalima, moobs.

trisher Mon 04-Mar-19 14:43:36

Luckygirl I thought that was a bit confusing but was obviously a way to introduce the woman from Europol. (when did it stop being Interpol???)
