Recommendations if you please.....not too gory. Want something really gripping to take me over the next few weeks please.

Do like a crime/thriller type or political.

(Done Deutschland already)

Thank you!

The Bridge and Spiral are the best IMO, both on IPlayer just now. The Twelve, The Other Mother, Adulterer, Thicker than Water and Locked Up ( this one esp) are all worth a watch through Walter Presents. There’s also Rita, Money Heist and La Mante that are available on Netflix, all really good. Hth

Not 100% sure if it's still on there but there was an enjoyable Norwegian series called Eyewitness (Øyevitne) about two teenage boys who secretly witness a murder in a deserted quarry. Some nice twists in there.

I have enjoyed:

The Twelve
Stockholm Requiem
The Arctic Murders

I didn't rate:

Professor T
The other mother
Nordic Murders (confusingly, this is German)

There was a Russian one that wasn't great, but I liked the different setting.

And several others I can't remember! In general I enjoy the Nordic ones but haven't been impressed by the French ones.

"In general I enjoy the Nordic ones but haven't been impressed by the French ones."
I agree with @Xmasbaby11

Stockholm requiem

goteam · 04/01/2021 19:46

The latest '....by the Lake' I think it is called Panic by the Lake is brilliant. Watched it before Christmas.

goteam · 04/01/2021 19:48

Actually its 'Fear by the Lake' and it was mentioned upthread. Really recommend it.

EraOfTheGrey · 07/01/2021 03:41

Locked up as mention by Castlecould is good. We watched all of them over about a week.

newyorkbreakfast · 12/01/2021 17:44

The Adulterer is great. Manon, Greyzone Same Sky and Acquitted also good.

Didn't so much enjoy:
Bad Banks - horrible characters
an Israeli one about honey farmers - silly and a Corsican mafia one whose name I've forgotten. A bit bleak, that latter one.

LoopyGremlin · 14/01/2021 16:45

@tommika

I thought The Same Sky was really good. Like you I’m disappointed there isn’t a second series.

AuntGertrude · 20/01/2021 19:40

Ride Upon The Storm = totally best series there.

Katherpillar · 28/01/2021 02:11

Currently watching 'All the sins' and really enjoying it.

midsomermurderess · 28/01/2021 16:51

Bad Banks is good. 2 series, quite short, fair rattles along. I also liked the Adulterer, Black Widow, Thicker Than Water, Detective Cain (Vincent from Spiral), Nordic Murders and currently watching Monsters.

TonTonMacoute · 29/01/2021 12:45

Another vote for Ride Upon the Storm, definitely the best show.

I also really liked The Mafia Only Kills in Summer, about a family living in Palermo during the seventies.

colouringindoors · 09/02/2021 17:25

The actor that played August in Ride upon the storm has popped up as a baddie in a new dark Danish Drama, Deliver Us. Think its WP too. Watched the first one, good but really bleak!
Also vote for Stockholm requiem and Rebecka Martinsson Arctic Murders

Catterpillar · 09/02/2021 21:32

@colouringindoors
I've watched the first 4 episodes of Deliver us and it is absolutely brilliant, definitely one of the best shows I've seen in a while.
But it is very bleak and dark, I don't think I've wanted someone to be murdered so badly in a long time.

colouringindoors · 10/02/2021 14:19

caterpillar Grin I felt the same after just one episode! maybe I'll persevere though...
