Aden Young’s accent is great… I just want to hear him tell some hoser to take off eh…
This movie was filmed in my hometown… I remember watching some of the scenes being shot. I used to work at that hospital they used at the 43:00 min mark
I don’t live far from where this happened and remember it… sad
The 1/25/21 episode seems to be mislabeled. it is a copy of the 1/18/21 epsode.
has anyone seen this? does the season tell the whole story?
thanks
From the wee bit of Swedish I know, it’s atrocious.
Yeah, same here. I have watched enough Nordic Noir to pick up some Danish, Swedish and Norwegian. I can understand enough to know if the subtitles are horrible or not
Those subtitles were the worst translation of English to English that I have ever seen. Mind BLOWN.
Did anyone else notice the nod to Epstein at the 24 min mark?
Oh YAY!
spews happy glitter EVERYWHERE
Now I’m going to get in trouble… she will think I was at the stripjoint… again ;)
This is not a republican show. Jackie is a democrat and Darlene is a progressive. This show addresses current issues, social and political.
I agree completely. Roseanne was never my favorite character. I still love this show, even without her. Not much has changed. Jackie and Darlene have always been my favorite characters. And now they have Katey Sagal which is awesome. Still loving it.
Cool, isn’t it? 😀 To add one more I liked hearing, I recall in “The Pillars of the Earth” series how people took their trades and skills as surnames. Example: in the story, there was a Tom Builder, and a Caris Wooler. In real world, I know surnames were often descriptive in this way, from around the Middle Ages.
Yeah and the names have cognates in other languages like “Smith” would have been a blacksmith’s family, the name Kovacs means the same thing in Hungarian…
Ah! Thank you so much for the response. That helps me understand a bit better. I’ve asked some form of this question for awhile now, and you are the only one who knew something:-) I even wondered if -sson and -dottir could be in the various names of some siblings.
You’re welcome… Year, in Iceland families will will have siblings with Ivarsson and Ivarsdottir as the last names. There are other forms of patronyms and names derived from patronyms in cultures all over… In Russian the “middle” name is the father’s name, plus -vich The O’ in Irish names and Mc in Scottish names… Spanish names that end in -ez… Like Alvarez, Ferdnandez.. it’s a common naming system
Could I ask a question of someone here who is of Scandinavian heritage and/or speaks a northern language? My question is, Why is she not called Rebecka Martinsdottir? I notice in some of the shows I view from Scandi countries, -son ends male names, while -dottir (daughter) ends female ones. Not sure if this is only done in Iceland, or if it’s elsewhere as well. I watch a lot of stuff; this particular show is Swedish….
I’m not scandinavian but my understanding is that Icelanders tend to still use the patronymic naming system in the same way the entire Norse culture originally did. The rest of the Scandinavian countries use “surnames” like most of the rest of western countries. Many Scandinavian surnames are derived from the old patronymical names, usually in the masculine form of -son or -sen.
He may not be a moderator for the site but he does a damn good job of informing the users of what’s going on and he’s great at keeping the peace. How about you quit being a douche and show some respect? Has any of his actions affected you emotionally or physically? I bet not. I suggest kindly that you chill out. There’s no place for crass rudeness here.
People are rude on the internet because there aren’t the same consequenses as there are IRL… IRL if you scream at someone to “shut the fuck up!” you might get punched in the mouth
This is one of my favorites… very well written, top notch production, first class acting by everyone… They address the real issues of the times, the historical events, the bombing of a nightclub in berlin, operation Able Archer, The Jacklyl. Reminds me of watching the news with my grandmother during the cold war
Mary can kill me all night long if she wants… revive me and do it over and over again and again
This was a great show. One of the many great shows that just never got picked up for another season. It is worth a watch…
I actually live in Beacon, NY. The show is set here, shot in Canada tho. I liked it!
sometimes a show gets reposted with refreshed links like this… there were no mixdrop links before, they are new
I saw the twist coming near the end, but i was TOTALLY wrong regarding the person involved…that was a GREAT episode! Truth be told, female serial killers really are the rarest of Unicorns, there has only been a handful throughout known history comparatively speaking. Can’t WAIT to see next episode, it’s gonna go DOWN!! I HATE mid season finales!! Gotta wait until February! ACK!!
when I go to the links it’s he wrong movie… Ad Astra is playing? Edit: fixed now, tyvm!
I watched this when it aired originally. It is a truly awesome TV show. It’s plot is original, it’s got Great charachters, great actors, great poducxtion. I highly reccomend this series and give it 9.6/10
It jumped the shark a bit and was a little more absurdist in concept but at least we can be thank full it was a British version and not another show bastardized and dummied down for the lowest common denominator by an American network ???
I heard there is an american as well as a possible german version both in the early stages of development… I agree the brits make really good “noir-ish” serials, 2nd only to the Scandinavians. The american versions of The Bridge and The Killing were ok. The Tunnel (The British/French show based on The Bridge) was really good for the most part. CBS/NBC and ABC in America churn out “procedurals” for the masses, some are pretty good, some suck. Our newer networks in America (AMC,FX,Fox) etc… have put out some really awesome original series. I try not to get too attached… If I truely like a show it usually winds up getting cancelled!
i was just about to write the same thing but you beat me to it ! (ps i remember the alcoholic episode from the Norwegian series(this one is totally different) that inspired me to get a prescription for a drug that makes you ill (not kill you ) when you consume alcohol that really helped me stop 20 years of drinking like a chef, so that show always had a soft spot in my heart )
Watched all 8 episodes. I enjoyed it. They developed decent characters gave it some good plot twists. I feel the original had more depth, but many people will probably see this without ever seeing valkyerin so they won’t feel like anything is off.
I watched the first 4 episodes. I like it. It’s based on the series from Norway called Valkyrien staring Sven Nordin which was excellent… I had heard there was a British retelling in the works, so far it does the original justice
I find it ironic that people watch christian movies on a pirate site… they probably read from stolen bibles too
I just noticed it was up right after I made that comment! I liked it!
the person the show is about is gone. time to kill the show.
I hear they are going to do a spin-off with the Jessica Pearson character as lead
Just binged on season 2… It’s a little hard to keep track of who is who and when at some points, but I really liked it. The story, the acting, and production are all top notch
