The Binge List

[Perry]

The wife and I have been absolutely killing our subscription to the streaming service "MHz", so I am just posting the shows we are watching together.
I'm on my own schedule with everything else, but the shows we watch are many (and usually the better  ), so they deserve the top billing
 

We are rolling through all kinds of European crime dramas, which we prefer as they tend to be more realistic and emotionally impactful and they are our personal favorite type of crime stories. Even though I will always have a soft spot for my more family friendly Poirot and Columbo, there is something about feeling the hairs of your arm standup when you watch some of the amazing acting on some of these harsher shows.
We started off strong with both Valhalla Murders and Trapped (both from Iceland) and we haven't looked back yet.

We just finished:

- The Killing (Original Danish version called - Forbrydelsen) seasons 1-3
- The Bridge (Original Danish/Swedish called - Bron/Breon) seasons 1-4
- Pagans Peak (Original German/Austrian called - Der Pass) seasons 1-3 (And the first two seasons are incredible!!!)
- Chestnut Man (Original Danish called - Kastanjemanden) 12 episode mini-series (This is also available on Netflix)
- The Breakthrough (Original Sweden called - Genombrottet) 4 episode mini-series (and the weakest of them all)
- The Reindeer Mafia (Original Sweden called - Poromafia) 8 episode mini-series (This had a bit of humor, which kind of threw me)

Currently Watching:

- Modern Family - We always watch a comedy while eating dinner 
- Chief of War - One more episode of Jason Mamoa's Hawaiian epic to go
- Only Murders in the Building - Last season for show? Not sure, but last one for me
- The Break - (From Belgium called - La trieve) No Poirot here. Hahaha
- Great British Bake-Off - New season!!!
- House of Games - A trivia game show from the UK starring Richard Osman, one of my favorite Brits
- Fisk - An Australian comedy about a will and probate lawyer. Funny, but more the wife's than mine
- Alien Earth - The last episode of the season just dropped and it will be watched tonight!!!

Starting Soon:

- The Prisoner (Original Denmark called - Huset) - 6 episode mini-series
- Arctic Circle (Original Finish called - Ivalo) - seasons 1-2
- Hinterland (Welsh) - seasons 1-3

We loved Season 1 but just could not make it through Season 2.  Never finished it.

Yeah, the start of season two and who killed Bunny was pretty rough until midway or so. It got better, as did the other seasons, which yes, also started kind of "not great", but they all have, so far, gotten better as they went. Is it worth the time? Nah... I wouldn't even bother, but I'm trying to keep some "cozy murders" on the list to make up for all the harsh Nordic murders

I have to have some lighter fair. At least that is what the wife tells me
