Unorthadox
The story of a young woman leaving an ultra-orthadox Jewish community in New York by flying to Berlin to find her mother.
Sounds mawkish from that description but it's not. "Inspired" by a true story it gives an insight into women's lives in an Hasidic community. I found it fascinating and ultimately quite moving.

I watched this last night and the subject matter is interesting but I wished it could have done without all the melodramatic contrivances. It was a German co-production and it feels like a lot of German tv drama, which I generally avoid. I listened to an interview with the woman whose story this was based on a while ago and I’m sure more talented filmmakers could have still made this diverting while not piling on the cliches.
The thing I enjoyed most about it was seeing a lively Berlin, a place which after over two weeks of shutdown here feels ever more remote.

I thought Vampires (French miniseries about, er, vampires living in modern day Paris) was going to be utter shit, but it’s actually very watchable, certainly as mindless thrill-packed entertainment goes.
Don’t expect Gatiss and Moffat levels of storytelling, but it is still pretty decent and significantly better than the majority of Netflix’s supernatural catalogue. And with only six episodes lasting just over half hour each it, the pace is fast and it does not drag. Recommended for anyone looking for easy non-committal entertainment.

You've sold it.

I quite liked Esther's black cummerbund dress from the first episode, and Ji Won's off-white external seams one from the second. Yes, they had commercial appeal, but I don't think that made them deathly dull, they had some nice details. I don't really like the format though. Heidi's annoying the way she keeps shouting "ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS!!!" and what's with the weird side trip to the Moulin Rouge? And the designers leaving the sewing to unseen seamstresses is weird. On Project Runway, they sometimes work with seamstresses, but it seems to be more working with them, rather than this 'prepare a tech pack' approach. And I felt sorry for Esther, when it transpired the next morning that her seamstress hadn't actually done the sewing. Eek! I was wondering whether that was a deliberate sabotage on the part of the producers, to add some drama? Wondering whether there might be more instances of that in future, or maybe it was just a case of Esther not giving clear enough instructions in her tech pack or whatever? And the less said about Martha the better. I'm on the fence about Sander at the moment, not sure whether he's a genius or annoying as fuck.

The platform is quite good.
Last night I watched a Turkish film, Miracle in Cell No. 7, it is absolutely heartbreaking.

It reminds me of Trailer Park Boys with different characters.

I started it and got through half of it. I enjoyed it well enough and the plot was intriguing but as with so many series these days I feel the nearly-hour-long episodes a drag and the story overstretched to fill up the 10-episode format an overhanging concern.
Unless either the pace is fast or the series and writing extremely good, I tend to encounter a mental brick wall when a series has hour long episodes and is slow burning.
a very loose take on Woken Furies. it feels more like they started with their own story and worked in a few elements of Woken Furies, (plus oddly the name of one character from Broken Angels taken for someone else) rather than starting from WF and adapting that to the screen.
overall I was disappointed.
I suppose it was inevitable after the significant changes in season 1 to Kovac’s back story
has anyone watched the feature length animation spin off? I gave up quite early because I just couldn’t get into the art style

I haven’t watched this yet but would recommend the book by Deborah Feldman which is the inspiration for it. Read it a while ago but was excellent

I've just started S3. I'm enjoying it. It's as good as I've seen for some time.

Loved it. It's really well paced. Every episode keeps you wondering how they're going to deal with the shit in the next one. Brilliant characters and great last episode too. I wasn't expecting that, and it sets up series 4 nicely whilst being satisfying enough not to leave you thinking you've been left-short.
