I'll let you form your own opinions!

The best (only?) good bit of that film was the car chase. Because it made me chuckle recalling the Top Gear version of it.

Can anyone recommend another good foreign detective series as good as The Bridge or The Killing? I'm just getting to the end of Season 2 of The Bridge and I can feel the withdrawal symptoms coming on already.

Those who kill,

it was ITV's attempt to get in on the Scandanavian action.

I think you might have answered your own question here:

UK TV shows are unique for British expats

It's UK, we're British. The accent, settings and above all humour, wit and sarcasm is British. Before going any further you should read rule 10.

The Trip

Second series, with Steve Cooghan, this time they're having a holiday trip to Italy.

First series was weirdly quite good.

Undeniable - very good (has this been mentioned?). STV - 2 part. Watch on catch up.

Anyone downloaded the STV player?

I downloaded ITV Player and was befuddled why I couldn't find the program ... then the light bulb went off and I downloaded STV Player. Should have known, living where I do ...

I thought Part 2 was a bit disappointing, lacking is real explanation - I was left think, "But Why?"

Still, it's good drama and one of many programs just recently that shows British TV to be among the best.

I find myself now flipping the channels and whenever I come across a US crime drama, I wonder why they all look like catwalk models. Even the middle-aged men have blow-dried, coiffed hair. Where are the crooked teeth and bad suits?

Yes I felt the end was a bit rushed.

I was a wee bit disappointed as they kept saying there was a trick ending. And then you are right, it came and went!

Question - how did you download STV/ITV player? From an app?
