Baptiste

I finished the first series yesterday so will start watching the second. I don't know how it passed me by

DO watch 'the missing' though if you like Baptiste

The whole cast in Baptiste were excellent but I think Fiona Shaw's performance was outstanding.

Callistemon I got a bit confused with some of the plot details too but then I often do! (I think there has always been a suggestion that some diplomatic staff are in fact part of the security services - I don't know how true that is but it seems plausible).

Despite my occasional confusion, I thought it was a very engaging drama.

I'm glad so many of you are enjoying this.
I'm not so into it, but it is worth following.
My main dislike is the 'depressed detective' theme. We have seen it in every way possible for about 20 odd years now!
Still, the two lead actors make it worth while.

Yes, I'm not a flashbacks fan either, but I do love Baptiste and really enjoyed last night's episode so will definitely stick with it.

Flashbacks can be annoying but in this case he looks so different in each scenario it isn’t a problem for me.

Loved it.

Really enjoyed it and looking forward to next episode.

Recorded can’t wait to watch it loved this series.

Loved it. I thought Fiona Shaw was great (but she always is).

Was it just me who got a tad confused at first, wondering how she got from MI6 to become British Ambassador?

(Got confused with Killing Eve , it must be my age)

I found the flashbacks rather annoying but it seems to be the norm in books, TV series etc these days.

It did require concentration (and subtitles) and we had a phone call in the middle of it! but I think it will be very good.

I missed most of it as I was getting the fans out to try to cool the house down a bit, got them up and running but couldn’t hear the TV because of the noise of the fans!! DH fell asleep clutching the remote, two dogs decided to sit on me and go to sleep. Great!! See if next week is better, need to get a remote for me I think!! !

Loved it. I thought Fiona Shaw was great (but she always is). He is so good and the story seems fascinating.So many unanswered questions. I'm resisting i-player and hanging on for the next episode.

I’ve never watched this before but tuned in. Intriguing how it may play out. Makes me feel I need to watch series 1.

Oh so glad I m not the only one watching
Yes he is so appealing isn’t he ? may ne its the huge mental strength with the body vulnerability or just the direct intelligent way he converses he doesn’t waste any words
Can’t wait for the next episode but I will, I like watching back to back sometimes but I do like to look forward to something so will watch week by week

I did watch it, I really like the French actor with the tricky name who plays Baptise. I hope we will see him in other things now this will be the last series. I found it confusing though and got a bit muddled, but then I did fall asleep, not sure for how long, so may go back over it on I Player.

Flashing back and forward very irritating, and I never thought Fiona Shaw would resort to mumbling.

Why is he so appealing? The eyes and the measured manner perhaps.
He is so full of mental anguish, almost tortured, yet he excels at his job.
Great acting.

Something to catch up on, really enjoyed the last series.

We watched it. I always find flashbacks a bit irritating, but it got off to a good start. I don’t think it will be easy watching. Very tense already!

I found the flashbacks difficult at first as well. Took me a while to really get involved with the story line. Look forward to see what happens next.

my husband can't follow it either!

it's on iplayer catch up, the first series and subsequent ones i think
The missing, which he is in is on there too and it's brilliant imo (he is baptiste in the missing too)

It looks intriguing, but we will resist the temptation to use catch up. So many hints to build on..., off we go.

I enjoyed it, I agree the past/present was a bit awkward to begin with. Setting was interesting.

Very good I thought.
