Ewan McGregor plays two brothers.

It's so crazy what goes on and I have to wonder how the script writers come up with it!

Not sure how many episodes are left in this series but enjoying it.

I've watched one ep & it didn't interest me at all.

Shame as I loved the other 2.

I'm really liking it once I got over Ewan McGregor's accent!

Heratnumber7 · 24/07/2017 15:40

Yep. I've watched it to the end on some dodgy VPN to American TV that DH has set up.

It isn't as good as the first two IMO, but good nevertheless. I think there are about 8 episodes. Ewan MdGregor gets on my nerves a bit

I like the subtle links between each series.

I'm watching episode 3 right now and wondering what the heck is going on! Im liking the storyline with Ennis & Ray Stussy (Ewan Mcgregor) more than the one with Gloria the police woman.

Resurrecting old thread to scream nooooooooo now I have seen the ending.

snoopyokay · 04/08/2017 08:55

What did you think of the ending? I thought it was open to interpretation!

partystress · 04/08/2017 13:45

Annoyingly so! I wanted clear comeuppance! I think he got away, but I really loved Gloria and wanted her to get the better of him. Have loved all three series, but think the female characters this time were especially good.

I loved it. Thought Ewan McGregor was great, and I usually think he's terribly over rated. David Thewlis was fabulous but I wasn't sure about the VM Varga character. I couldn't quite get a handle on him and found him much less engaging than Lorne Malvo in series 1

I loved the final scene. I thought the suggestion was that whatever happens to Varga, Gloria is still the character who comes off best because she has hope left, and faith in humanity, whereas Varga is just a ball of cynicism and self-interest.

The bar scene in the penultimate episode between Gloria and the other female cop made me cry, in a good way Smile

snoopyokay · 04/08/2017 13:58

Yeah I really liked her character too, I didn't like Ewan at the start but think he grew on me as the series went on. I really enjoyed it anyhow!

Are they David Thewlis real teeth I was thinking throughout the whole show?!

Lottapianos · 04/08/2017 14:01

No snoopy, they were dentures. Smile Very real looking though. Ugh.

partystress · 04/08/2017 14:20

Lotta you have a more optimistic view than me. I wasn't sure Gloria could take another disappointment. Agree about the bar scene. In fact the relationship between the two female cops was brilliant throughout. Would love them to return in a future series. Never been a Ewan fan, but thought he acted his socks off and was completely convincing in both roles. Just wish it wasn't over Sad

Lottapianos · 04/08/2017 14:30

party, you may be right. We will never know Smile I loved that Gloria's relationship with the other woman was quite gruff and unsentimental - they worked well together, respected and liked each other but didn't fuss over each other.

I will really miss watching it every week. I may have to re-watch Series 1, that was marvellous

Cannothtinkofaname · 07/08/2017 07:21

I've watched the whole series now. I wasn't sure about the end - I felt a bit cheated!
Really enjoyed it though but Varga really gave me the creeps!
I thought the female characters were all very good and looks like the woman (sorry forgotten her name already!) really did love Ray, I originally thought she was just using him.
It was a strange scene a few episodes ago where "she" met a man in a bar, where Ray had become a kitten. All very weird I thought!

A good series though but I think series 1 is still the best.

I couldn't shake that Ewan McGregor looked like Dominic West in "The Wire" ..
