Just me, then? Wink
1st episode spoilerish but not really
Bloody hell Rio is still a liability
Denver's laugh remains as annoying as Jimmy Carr's
Pedro Alonso - I still would

Send food Grin

Am I really the only one watching or have I missed a thread somewhere?!

OP posts:
RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 20/07/2019 06:18

Clearly I am the only bingewatcher - es un escandalo! - It was awesome.
They had better do series 4 now Wink

Yes, me! I've only watched until episode four now, watching two per evening. I'm daft about it. I saw a spoiler about the end of the series on FB so I've unfollowed the FB groups for now.

mintyroller · 21/07/2019 00:07

Have you seen the video of Denver's laugh to the tune of Bella Ciao?

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 21/07/2019 01:04

No but I will look for it now Wink
I was lucky to see it innocent and unscathed.
Allegedly series/part 4 has already been filmed so I am hoping they release it sooner rather than later.

Just in case you haven't yet found it;

Xyzzzzz · 21/07/2019 19:44

I enjoyed the first two seasons and was hooked. Watched this season and think it’s a disappointment so far. Can’t stand Tokyo.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 21/07/2019 19:58

That's hilarious and sets my teeth on edge at the same time minty Wink
X You'll end up hating her all the way through tbh - that's who I meant was a liability, not sure why I said Rio apart from him being easy on the eye
I enjoyed it, sorry you're not - I can understand why, it's kept very rigidly to the formula, Palermo is no Berlin, some cameos eg Moscow in flashback, Angel are barely worth it, Lisbon underused, Alicia Sierra similar to the crazed policewoman in madagascar 3, songs that are not Bella Ciao....but in spite of all its flaws I am still stanning it beyond reason

Grin

About to watch another couple. I like Palermo more than I thought I would so far. I imagine series 4 won't feature Berlin at allSad

mintyroller · 22/07/2019 20:57

Have you used the filter on FB camera?

Xyzzzzz · 22/07/2019 21:16

I’ve given it another go and it’s rather cartoonish. I think I’d have preferred it stopped at season 2. I’m a great believe of quality over quantity. First two seasons were fantastic.

I even sneaked and watched the ending before DH.

I’ve never liked Tokyo tbh she was always spoilt. Love Denver and Monica! Professor and Nairobi!

mintyroller · 22/07/2019 22:00

Xyzzzzz I've just finished episode five and I didn't like it anywhere near as much as the first few. Far too much suspension of disbelief needed.

stephstrops · 22/07/2019 22:05

Binge watched it over the weekend and loved it

mintyroller · 22/07/2019 22:30

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine on to episode 6 now and I see what you mean about the music not being Bella CiaoGrin

mintyroller · 22/07/2019 22:38

Changed my mind about Palermo, he's an arsehole!

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 23/07/2019 08:03
Grin For all its flaws, I still enjoyed it a lot. I am brand loyal though. So Killing Eve, UnREAL, Modern Family...I'll watch all of them even if they end up jumping the shark. I know you're supposed to always leave the crowd wanting more - I recently bought Fawlty Towers on Prime which is a good example. Utopia is another, albeit that was cancelled prematurely even though Adeel Akthar got a Bafta for his role in it. But even a weaker season of Money Heist is still ten times better than constructed reality twaddle. The only second series which I just really really struggled with was the Dirk Gently retread: the first one I had loved. The second one I found the tone and change of direction totally inexplicable.

I will normally watch all seasons too (side note: UNreal started off so well) but I’ve got to admit this season did not invest me like the other two have.

I hope 4 is better

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 23/07/2019 11:21

UnREAL was fabulous in its first season - I so wanted Constance Zimmer to win an emmy (sidenote - Utopia was cancelled having won international emmy, Adeel Akhtar did get a bafta but not for this, he was nominated though) and thought Shiri Appleby was excellent.
Prime is remaking Utopia - I'd much rather they had picked up series 3 but assume cast would be too expensive possibly.

Who does Tamayo look like? I'm convinced he looks the spitting image of some British actor but I'm damned if I can remember who it is.

mintyroller · 24/07/2019 22:13

And Pedro Alonso! When I first watched it I thought he reminded me of someone but I've watched him so much I can't even picture the guy he originally reminded me of.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 25/07/2019 04:06

Someone else wanted Sam Rockwell to play Berlin if it ever had an American remake. I can kind of see that. He also reminds me a bit of Armand Assante.
Fernando Cayo in some pics ironically reminds me of Craig Bierko (unREAL)

Are you not in the UK? Because I hate to tell you that it’s on Netflix if you are. Sorry.

Not watched yet. Intending to binge watch over the weekend.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 26/07/2019 02:00

No I am not in the UK but it literally cost a euro so bargainous!

mintyroller · 27/07/2019 21:07

I've only one episode to go now. Haven't enjoyed this series as much as I'd hoped.
