[Blondeshavemorefun]

loved s1. Now s2

Julienne rushes to Hungary to find British ambassador ds,I’ll

Oh, I’d forgotten tonight.

Too distracted with mounting excitement over the coming new season of Money Heist!

I watched half but was so tired

Will watch last 20mins later

Thought thread would be heaving from replies

Maybe everyone has binged

Love the 2 main actors but thought the storyline in the end was far fetched.
Will try and find series 1!

I thought it was ridiculous and the actual final terrorist plan... eh??? How was that meant to trump Josefvarosz?

Ridiculous. I can tolerate ridiculous and entertaining , but this was dull and millions of plotholes.

I binged..I seems like so long ago now...
To be honest I can't remember how it ended..
I did find it boring and was disappointed because I enjoyed the missing series so much and liked the first two baptiste.
Ah well!

It was so boring DH refused to watch last nights. He said it was far fetched with ridiculous story lines. I couldn't disagree

Disappointing as it started so well.

Yeah, my DH sat and read the paper during it ! Which was very annoying.

I binged so finished ages ago and I cannot remember anything further than when the son escaped when left with her.
I adore Fiona Shaw but this was not a good enough drama for her

I lost the plot (quite literally) at some point midway through the series. No idea what the ending was supposed to be about. How did the son get to the hospital? How did Julien survive? Did whatsisname die?

Not sure I really care. Nice to see Julien back in the saddle looking spruce with GD and wifey.

Is whathisname whathisname? If so, we saw him in a prison cell...

It seems whatsherface was going to get away with whatever she was up to as well.

Ok. I assumed both would die

Seems neither did

How did they get rescued from middle of nowhere

How did Baptist with a limp abs double the age , manage to catch Andrea up in the wood

How could walloping and killing will be bigger and better then what originally happened :(

And so it starts again as victor (think was him with black eye at end) puts on the mask and continue the work that was started

And all this happened to her family as Laura for killed by freak accident by druggie immigrant so the sims decide to get justice

It was a bit odd. Didn’t pan out quite how I had hoped. A bit of good and a bit of bad.
On the plus side, I do love Tchéky Karyo and the character of Baptiste. I like the settings in different European countries.
On the downside: I wish they had explored/portrayed better why the two sons (super-privileged sons of a senior diplomat) had become radicalised so quickly and so extremely. That was all a bit vague.
Fiona Shaw reverted to her own accent a few times, particularly when raising her voice, which is understandable but a bit distracting when she was cast as a British diplomat.
And I wish they had delved more into the conflict that a mother would feel when confronted with these events. To have your two sons both turn out as terrorists who were effectively responsible for the murder of their father - I’d expect the acceptance she arrived at to be a lot longer coming.

Very disappointing, especially when previous series and The Missing had been so good. Just as well it's the last series, I would not have watched another. Pity, very good actors but the story was ridiculous and too drawn out.

I love Julien Baptiste. Bring on season 3!
But what was the point of the infertility story line?

Fiona Shaw was fab. Karyo's acting was dreadful and the script was clunky and full of holes. I kept wanting it to improve but it didn't.

I think the infertility plotline was to a) flesh out her character (didn't work) and b) was the motif of parenting and lost children. All the adult characters had lost a child/never had one / were children who lost parents (Sofia). However, I think the fertility thing unfortunately seemed an attempt to humanise Kamilla, and she was a monster.

Things will have changed a lot since I visited Hungary when it was still Communist but there did seem to be an awful lot of fluent English speakers.

Another plothole : how did Emma (was that even her name?) get out of the car and into her wheelchair at the end to go to Will?? Don't actors ever say :'wait.... how did my charcater do that?'

It was so far fetched wasn’t it? We decided to just suspend reality & go with it!

@Piggywaspushed you must be right! What a woosh moment.🤦‍♀️ I didn't think of that at all.
I wondered if her miscarriages had helped in her radicalisation somehow.

I liked the premise of a family being ripped apart by an untimely death. I could see how the boys could got in over their heads. I liked fiona Shaw. My favourite moment was the skateboard bashing. Oh dear I said that out loud.
But it is true that something didn't work overall. Too many bits of the story are missing.

I think you're OK : I think we all liked the skateboard best

Well, that wasn’t nearly as bad as you all made me think. Though the constant relentless battering of people who don’t die stretches credulity and patience. Bit lazy.

Glad to have got to the end. But I hope nothing else involves such a depressing story this year.

Roll on the next season of The Circle!

I said great skateboard wacking 😂

Wasn’t she in the wheelchair in the woods with Baptist when he caught sight of Andre and chased bom

I thought she was already in the wheelchair too. I thought Julien was goner though, after that fight.

Disappointing overall, I thought, although I liked the idea of revenge for the daughter's murder. Oh well.

Anyone know what's in the Sunday Night slot for Autumn?

Virgil starts next Sunday for 6w

Send few trailers. Looks good

Of course! Steve Arnott from LOD is in it. Theyve been showing trailers for weeks. D'oh.

vigil thread

Thought would start one 😂
