I managed two episodes.Moscow Noir was a Lithuanian co-production as well.
Yep can’t beat a bit of countess Von fingerbangSaw a lot of recommendations on here about Archer, currently laughing my bollocks off with the first season.
Being 'old school' I'm attracted to a series with a beginning, a middle and an end, none of this arrsing around 15 series!
Tim Minchin's 'Upright' fulfilled that for me.
I mentioned that in passing some time ago (well late 1988 while I was then in Melbourne ) It's since come out in DVD. It's a stunning story, moving a piano from Sidney to Perth. Characters and episodes arise in the journey as the raison for taking the piano unfolds.
It vacillates between, humour, pathos, violence in instances but predominately in good and honest vibes. Remember 'Paper Moon?' an adult travelling with a minor storey? Minchin commutes with the very gifted Milly Alcock, a 13 yr. old suggesting she's really 16yrs by her driving and keeping him directed.
I dislike MInchin's Uk quiz Uk character but in this, I realise he's quite a sensitive soul ( he wrote the script) and a stunning piano player ( well he's classically trained). The scene when bikers take over his piano located on the back of an 'ute' , the Minchin character joins him and harmonises the 'Chop Sticks' tune with variations is brilliant.
There's a myriad of other scenes, the piano gets lost and found on the road across the Nullarbor to an emotional and conclusional end.

The follow up documentary on the real case is worth watching tooThe Pembrokeshire Murders (ITV Catch-up) is well worth a watch. (Did a thread search and not mentioned).
I binged it last night in under three hours. Storyline is a cold case investigation into four unsolved murders and five unsolved rape/assaults (you can probably guess where these were set).
Tightly scripted and well acted (Keith Allen showing he can actually act rather than just be a professional piss artist).
Pretty much a straightforward police procedural followed by the court case (sadly all too brief - geddit. No, FO then). There is one plot turn which you would laugh at were it not actually true.
It was very well reviewed in the Time and Sunday Times.
Well worth eyeball time.

Watched it this week. Agree to all the above, but, I would add the pacing of the film was spot on. No ‘hurry up and wait’, just well-paced (and filmed) telly.The Pembrokeshire Murders (ITV Catch-up) is well worth a watch. (Did a thread search and not mentioned).

Bit of a method actor, from what I've read.Keith Allen makes a good villain, doesn’t he?
If he had used the rhythm method more often, we may have been spared the opinions of his daughter.Bit of a method actor, from what I've read.
