TV Series


Been in and out of country for the last latte while, only got a chance to watch the second season of Andor in the last few days.

I’m sure, I’m late to the party but it’s magnificent, the Two series and Rouge One are the very best of of Star Wars.

Gutted it’s finished, was so good, but at the same time more would ruin it.

Goes to show the huge audience out there for more Star Wars if they can just do it as right as this.

I`ve just realised that I`ve read first book that this is based on by the same name - The Dept Q Series, they`re by a Danish author called Jussi Adler Olson, set in Denmark.

It`s a pretty faithful remake, just moved to Edinburgh.

Just finished bingeing it. Really enjoyed the characters and, hopefully, there will be another series. It's certainly been set up for one.

I like this show but wonder if it’s a lot to do with having gone to uni in Edinburgh and getting nostalgia.
Not sure how close it is to the source material but feels like it borrows ideas from a lot of other shows.

From memory, the tv series is pretty much a word for word adaptation of the first book.

How the hell did you afford to live in Edinburgh as a student, it`s one of my favourite places for a night out anywhere, but it`s near London prices for ale :oops:

Ps - did you ever venture into Espionage by the Grassmarket ( what a club ) :lol:

Seems Netflix are keen to do another one although no formal decision yet made but they've apparently put it up against some other big hitters for the Emmy Awards so they must have some faith as to it's longevity and attraction to viewers.

From what I`ve read about it, it`s reception has taken Netflix by surprise, as they never expected it to be such a massive hit, which could explain why they didn`t have a second one lined up and ready to go ?

That's exactly the impression I got. And I read that the original Danish film made in 2013 - Keeper of Lost Causes - was the basis of the current series although involved a missing politician with the same name as the 'victim' in Department Q.

I got lucky and had a couple of mates I stayed with. Lived out the centre for a period near Portobello as well. Bit gentrified these days but still nice to visit.
I know a couple of lads who went to uni there in the late 90s and RBS were giving 100% mortgages to students. So they got a place and charged mates to stay. Mad how things changed.
Espionage is some place. Like a small town club in an city centre. Edinburgh used to have some great clubs and bars but as the city got more exclusive, lots shut down or turned into places with names like ‘the joker and the bat’ and all the miscreants quickly banned.
Tend to avoid the centre when I go back. Leith still has some good boozers that won’t rip you off completely.
Nice place to be a student.

Had to some fantastic nights in Espionage over the years, couldn’t believe it when it shut.

Edinburgh isn’t the same with out.
