I thought it was just the UK ones then I found the rest, brilliant!

A Netflix notification actually just popped up for this a few minutes ago. Hadn't heard of it before so have added to my list and will give a watch tonight Grin

I’ve watched the first (UK) one. Thought it was great.

notanotherfucker · 22/09/2019 15:14

It's great, watch UK first then they have the others, with English speakover. 12 episodes in total.

Thank you! I'm just watching the first one now. Looking great so far, I needed a new series.

I’ve got it on my list but am watching Unbelievable first.

Penners99 · 22/09/2019 16:01

Found it last night, Excellent!

Not yet, it’s on my to do but I’m watching Top Boy which is great. I’m sorely tempted to WhatsApp all the people I know who still do coke and can’t see the connection between their use and boys being stabbed every week and tell them to watch it.

Is unbelievable good?

@Tellmetruth4 - Top Boy was amazing. I was watching it with DH who is a police officer and he said that the gangs portrayed are very true to life. Scary. Don't want to spoil it for you so I will say no more...

I've only watched the French and UK ones (French ones better IMO) but quite disappointed by all of them - partly because they attempted to do some character development but the series were a bit short for it given how much time was in the room, and also because it felt like to cram everything into 45 mins there would be unbelievable revelations/discoveries crammed in the last 8 mins to wrap it all up quickly. Then you are kind of left wanting closure/the end of the story - did they go to prison? Did the people in the truck survive? But don't get any!

PooWillyBumBum · 24/09/2019 14:46

Must say I thought David Tennant was outstanding though!

ExplodingCarrots · 24/09/2019 14:49

I'm loving it. I've watched UK, Spain and Germany. I struggled with the English voice overs so I changed the audio back to original language and watched with English subtitles. Found it much better to get into with the Spanish and German ones . The Dave tennant episode is by far my favourite one so far.

@notanotherfucker unbelievable is amazing but harrowing. It is based on a true story and it is so Important that people hear it.

Funghi · 24/09/2019 15:40

Unbelievable is amazing. Some of the best acting I’ve ever seen.

I can’t get into Criminal. I feel like I’m still waiting for the conclusion of the first episode. I want the trial, I want 10 more episodes of DT.

LadyMcLokington · 24/09/2019 15:47

I watched the UK one the other day (in one sitting 😳), are the other ones the same story lines but with different actors?

Pimmsypimms · 24/09/2019 15:58

Unbelievable is amazing!! I watched 2 episodes of Criminal and thought it was boring Blushdoes it get better??

SquintEastwood · 24/09/2019 16:03

I watched all 3 the other night and just didn't really get it tbh. It all felt rushed, unbelievable and unfinished - like there was something I was missing I guess.

I agree that a series based on David Tenants storyline would've been better as it was the only one that held any interest for me.

Agree with this! I was confused when episode two started. I did watch it but won't bother with any more

Brefugee · 24/09/2019 16:31

I've seen all the UK ones and 2 of the German ones. it's fantastic, like a series of one act plays.

Scentsandsensible · 24/09/2019 16:52

Just started in the Uk ones watched two so far. Loving it

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 29/10/2020 19:59

I've only just found this but have just finished watching the UK series 1 and 2 - absolutely brilliant. I will start on France and Germany asap.
