Follow the Money - Danish drama Season 3

[pineapplebryanbrown]

Anyone else watching? I love Nicky so much, I wish I could speak Danish! The scene between him and Lena in the mental hospital was excellent. Both such good actors.

I watched series one and two ages ago

How bloody irritating...it's on I player but episodes one and two are missing

Fucker is it on Now TV? You can get a free trial for a week. Long enough to watch it.

Will have a look.

I have made a rather wonderful discovery though. I thought I had seen both seasons of Thicker Than Water and it turns out I haven't ! Happy days.

For Follow the Money types, there is also Bad Banks on Walter presents at the moment - which is very different, but also financial shenanigans. The man who played the Dutch guy in The Split is in it!

I think series 1 and 2 are on Amazon but you have to pay for them. I can't seem to watch Now TV on my smart TV (a Samsung) as I can't find the app. I do have access to a Now TV account and I think it might be available on Now - but no way of checking if I can't access the flipping app! Any advice appreciated.

Lily can you watch it on your laptop? Or the DVDs are pretty cheap in ebay now.

Quite the most gripping, plausible and intelligent drama i have seen on the BBC in years. Wonderful performances all round but special praise to Maria Rich for her portrayal on Anna, the bank clerk.
The level of dramatic tension achieved throughout the 10 episodes was amazing!!

It's my favourite show since The Killing - almost inspired to rewatch that too now.

I've just finished this,binged it in a few days.

Felt so sad about little Milas and the love/neglect from his Dad.

I can barely remember anything about the previous two seasons.

Also agree he is a great actor.

@Anyfucker Where did you find Thicker than Water?
I definitely saw the first series and thought it was great.

Sarah isn't it on BBC iPlayer?

@thighofrelief101 Thicker than Water was on ITV quite a while ago. Follow the Money is on iPlayer though.

Thicker than Water is on all4

Have just finished watching on catch up. Nicky was a great character but as he turned out to be the elusive Marco, surely he was responsible for all those dead Romanians found in the lock up or was it a cellar? Think they were business people and this was connected to the money laundering. Marco was renting these premises. So who did kill them? We saw the dark side of Anna as well. She struggled with her morality, just as Nicky did but she ended up being rewarded for her criminal activities! What about the poor bank manager lying in hospital. Will she ever recover?

Thanks @AnyFucker

I can't remember if I've seen one or two series of it.

I nearly cried at the end. I know I should not have liked Nicky but I did.

I thought the acting was excellent especially from the actor who played Nicky and the actress who played Anna

But why was Nicky not killed at the airport so he couldn't testify at the trial?

tea what do you mean? Was he on the way to the airport when he was killed?

Esben Smed (Nicky) has a couple of new films out one of them has no English subtitles though which is annoying.

I think he'd be a fab Bond villain.

No, he was at the airport before when the chief of police told him he had to leave for Dubai. He then ripped open his stitches so he couldn't get on the plane. I fully expected him to be killed then but he was found bleeding but alive in the toilets by Alf and his team.

I finally got round to watching the end of this - I was saving the last two episodes.

What a great series but so, so grim. Are we to assume that Alf took an overdose? I can't bear it, he was such a sweet innocent at the start of series 1. So much great acting all round but especially Thomas Hwan (Alf), Esben Smed (Nicky) and Maria Rich (Anna).

tea ah yes, now I remember, thanks. Where was the car taking him when he got shot?

I have a raging crush on Esben Smed.

He was being transferred to another prison, I assumed, thigh - it was months later and trials had happened so presumably he’d also received a prison sentence. Possibly he was still in some sort of holding place when Milas was brought to see him, and was due to transfer to a longer-term facility.

I did think it was unlikely that the radio news report would openly give his name, though. Surely informants are granted some degree of anonymity, given that they’re highly likely to be targeted in prison?

He’s a really magnetic actor. The arc from the petty small-timer in series 1 was tragic and so well done.

I was really gripped by this series. I hadn't watched the previous series, but picked up enough to follow the story. I agree there was great acting all round.

As for Nicky, I may have completely got the wrong end of the stick, but I thought he was probably going into a witness protection programme after giving evidence against the rest of the organisation and that was why he had to say goodbye to his son forever.

I was also wondering whether Anna's boss, who gave her the swanky job at head office, was also corrupt? It was the way he referred to lots of new clients wanting to avoid the loopholes. Were they legitimate businesses or not? I wasn't sure if he recognised someone who could be used to facilitate this/manipulated or just wanted to cover up his own department's shortcomings. The way the final scenes showed her wrestling her conscience, just made me wonder what the price of her reprieve had been.
