The series created by Julien Leclercq promised a solid storyline and high-intensity action, and the series lives up to the expectation. with enough action sequences in 50-minute episodes. French thrillers airing on Netflix are generally captivating, full of suspense, action, steamy frolics, and a decent storyline all in all.
The story depicts a thief and a robber who get their hands dirty as they become embroiled in a dark turf battle between drug dealers
A second series? Let’s hope so.
A brilliant mini series – is there to be a second series? Not needed – but …. if there is then not too many episodes and the writing must be guaranteed of the highest standard again.
Why many UK independent producers are fighting for survival in the new “wild west” https://www.screendaily.com/features/why-many-uk-independent-producers-are-fighting-for-survival-in-the-new-wild-west/5163039.article#.YUCSiba1NA0.twitt
At the same time, McVay points out that “business is not an egalitarian system… it’s about people trying to make money.” Why should the UK’s indie producers receive special treatment? To some, there is an obvious answer. They are an intrinsic part of a system that will eventually grind to a halt without them. As Kostense puts it: “Bigger films are made by people who started with smaller films. If those smaller films cannot be made any more, ultimately there will not be bigger films.”
Note: BIGGER FILMS ARE MADE BY PEOPLE WHO STARTED WITH SMALLER FILMS …
Just been wondering these last few days: what if Mohammed had followed the teaching of the Palestinian Jesus – unlike the Church, so often, failing to do so … what a different kind of world we could be living in today. Aye, just wondering … just wondering …
COUNTDOWN TO SURRENDER- THE LAST 100 DAYS – WITH THE BONUS THAT IT PUT THE NETFLIX MINI SERIES IN ITS RIGHT HISTORICAL CONTEXT … THE DEFEATED.
A good late night viewing film – Rotten Tomatoes gave it 79% and we’d agree with that. Critics? Bit harsh.
Good story-line in both. Great casting etc. No more ‘Code’ but here’s hoping that Hit and Run keeps on running.
August 6 is also when we remember the horror of Hiroshima …
Aye, just civilians! No mention of the deaths in today’s media. Oops, sorry, the Olympics are still in progress in Japan. I remember the dead now … for a few minutes.
Welsh Slate Landscape
The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales has become the UK’s newest UNESCO World Heritage Site, having been granted the accolade today, at the 44th session of the World Heritage Committee.
‘Penrhyn’! The blood, sweat and tears of this quarry is in my DNA – what would my paternal ancestors think!
GREAT ARTICLE. FASCINATING. “Even the canonical “Out of Africa“ migration itself has turned out to be less neat and tidy than we all thought”Great piece – See Razib Khan article on

All non-Africans share ancestry that dates back to a single tiny human population of 1,000 to 10,000 people which flourished 60,000 years ago, and exploded across Eurasia and Australia in a single sweep. As for the native white Welsh speaking Cymro Celt from NW Wales, my own DNA link goes back to one of two daughters of a Mother who lived in what is today southern France about 20,000 years ago. I share my DNA with about 350 million Europeans ... distant cousins!
I find this paragraph mind-blowing: Outside Africa, whether you are an indigenous Australian, Amazonian native or a German burgher, fully 90-99% of your ancestry derives from a single ancestral human population pulse 60,000 years ago. Somehow, an isolated African tribe of 1,000 to 10,000 people, who became genetically homogenous due to their initial small population size, swept across Eurasia. By 50,000 years ago, they reached Australia. They had replaced the last Neanderthals and Denisovans by 40,000 years ago, if not earlier. They even migrated to North and South America 15,000 years ago.
And this one more disturbing! Because these are brand new finds, there is not yet consensus about these fossils. Some researchers want to call “Dragon Man” Homo longi (龙, pronounced lóng, being Chinese for dragon), a new human species, and assert its features mean it is more closely related to modern humans than Neanderthals. Though Chris Stringer dismisses any bias in the Chinese researchers, I can't help but discern a drive here to establish precedence for China as one of the major hearths of modern humans, perhaps a matter of external pressure from the Xi regime.*
