Woohoo!

Have you watched 'Aquitted' yet?

Fortitude on thursday.

thanks cg

Fortitude on thursday.

New series or first one?

New series ^

Thanks, loved the first series.

Takk cinnamonsdottir!

Acquitted? Fortitude? Never heard of them, do tell please!

Takk cinnamonsdottir!

😀 Is takk an Icelandic word, s'cuse my ignorance.

Takk may well be Icelandic, I don't know.
It's certainly Swedish for 'thank you'

Danish too!

Crikey ... it is so sooo very sloooooowwww ... innit. 😛

@ c_g, Fortitude is the (fake) name of an arctic Norwegian town with a dark past. A slow burning yet compelling Scandi-drama.
Looking forward to season 2.

Not heard of Acquitted.

Acquitted - Norwegian jobby on All4.

Thanks trademark and wallop. 🙂

Thoughts on first episode?

Thoughts on first episode?

Too many short scenes with people you didn't know, saying stuff that will only make sense in the last episode.

I'm out.

Know what you mean richmars but it's directed by a chap who was one of the directors of 'Trapped' which was an excellent (Icelandic) series. I've therefore not given up!

Haven't seen it yet - will catch up tomorrow!

Yes, I liked Trapped, but this one didn't work for me.

Just came on here to recommend Trapped, beaten to it.
If you like that c_g then you should like Fortitude.

Fortitude was good, but bloody grim. Not sure I could stomach another series of it TBH.

All4 confuses me

On the catch up menu on sky the Channel 4 section is called All4, and yet you can only get episode 1 of Case.

Watched another 2.5 episodes on catchup. Looks like it's all there for non-Sky people http://www.channel4.com/programmes/case

Thanks [b]stever[/b], that's helpful.

[b]@ wallop[/b] thanks for the recommendation for Acquitted, have now watched most of the episodes and enjoying it/Aksel. 8)

For anyone who enjoys subtitle / crime / Nordic.
Having recently watched them for the second time, I would recommend these two DVDs:

The Hunters (Jägarna) (113 mins) £4.99 Amazon

And its follow-up set 10 /15 years later (and, in my opinion, the better film):

False Trail (125 mins) £5.99 Amazon

Thank you [b]sands[/b], always good to hear of more! Rolf Lassgard was, in my opinion, the bestest Wallander so definitely keen to get hold of these dvd's.

Just started watching Season 1 of Fortitude. Why does everyone speak English on an Icelandic island? I think I prefer Scandi dramas to be sub-titled!

Really enjoying Case.

Fortitude is a lot like the first series. Whether or not that is a good thing is another matter.

Fortitude - agree with others, they shouldn't be speaking English and, yes, Scandi dramas should be sub-titled.

It's a bit gruesome, don't really want to see the detail.

Sitting on the fence somewhat.

Really enjoyed this.

Btw, When did C4 allow the sets to be downloaded to iOS and android devices?

Just finished fortitude via Sky box sets. Very good, i wanted more so hopefully theres a season 3...

Just when you didn't believe it could get even more gruesome ... it does. 😐 😯
