Try looking with Nord VPN on a UK server. I find I’m offered different things when the VPN is on than when not. Crazy tech!

I’m binge-watching MobLand, its very good if you like modern gangster stuff. Tom Hardy is his usual brilliant self and the cast includes Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. Guy Richie is the director and his stuff is always first class.
That reminds me, I recently watched a Guy Ritchie film called The Gentlemen. It has lots of famous actors in it, but most interestingly it has Hugh Grant like I’ve never seen him before. It really changed my opinion of him as an actor.
Here’s the trailer…

Have you seen him as Jeremy Thorpe in a Very English Scandal? He was excellent. As he ages he gets even better.

BBC iPlayer has a Norwegian film called Gold Run about the true rescue of Norway’s gold reserve just before invasion from Germany. Rather an exciting and moving bit of history when it was written by “ordinary folk doing great things”. Lovely actors.
That looks like Charlie Hunnam to me.
I’m sort of watching The Bombing of PanAm 103 on BBC - weather permitting! We’ll have to start again on i-player. The Guardian gives it a poor review but (from what I’ve seen so far) I think the restraint and the lack of drama is exactly what’s needed. The story is just so complex and the work involved in the investigation so enormous together with all the politicking across the different countries involved I think is being conveyed really well.
Yep, really very good except for the bogus Irish accents that Brosnan and Mirren put on - lets the whole thing down I think.
Not as good as ‘Landman’ though…

Architecture + accent. What’s not to love?

The characters?
I think they are deliberately written to be as unsympathetic as possible.
Only watched the first episode though - will get back to you on whether I thought perseverance was rewarded.
I agree with you about the first episode. I actually stopped watching too.
However, I am not one who gives up easily. Many a book I have enjoyed has begun with a very tough start. But I did return to Dept.Q and I’m glad I did.
The characters seem deliberately unpleasant but they will grow on you. I expect that’s the point 
Yes, we plan to stick with it for a bit and see what happens.
Was the accent American? In Edinburgh? And is that not on Netflix France? Might explain why I haven’t been offered it so far. 
My sub is Netflix.fr. The series is set in Edinburgh and most lovely accents are Scottish

I’ll have another look, away from your link, then. Perhaps I am not persistant enough, most of what I see on Netflix is unappealing to me.
“Mom says you never get sick, said the Lord never wants to take you, says you’re the oldest man in the world”.
“Well, I’ll tell you a secret, when a man loves his work, truly loves it, sickness will get tired of chasing you, and finally give up and leave you alone. Clear your mind of all that concerns you and do the right thing with those hands that God gave you.”
Advice from carpenter uncle Silus to nephew Noah, who later in life became the target of a real-estate developer who wanted his land, but wasn’t sure of his age.
A warm quiet sort of film starring Sydney Poitier as a local carpenter.
