What a history lesson. Better than taking a class. Consise fascinating episodes. Tells how we got to where we are today with Russian invasion of Ukraine. It does not come out and say it, but the similarities to the appeasements of Hitler before he invaded Poland are stark and sad. Humans are doomed to never learn from history. Had NATO not backed down from offering membership to Ukraine and Georgia, Putin would not have dared invade Georgia, annex the Crimea or invade Ukraine.

Hysterically funny. A few examples of the characters as they are portrayed: Wills and Kate are well-meaning but terribly naive, Harry somewhat the same but more than a bit dim, and Beatrice and Eugénie are hands down the all-time winners of the Upperclass Twits Competition. Their posh accents, especially Beatrice, are OTT fantastic. Most of the more brutal satire is aimed at the older generation. It’s mostly aimed at the completely out of touch oblivious to anyone’s needs but his own Prince Charles. He is wonderfully portrayed by Harry Enfield. Charles really is raked over the coals. Haydn Gwynne’s Camilla is a joy-to-watch baddie. You can’t wait to see what evil cunning plan she comes up with next. The entire show is more spoof than biting satire. Above all it is laugh out loud fun. A five-star hit!

Tiny bit slow at times. But if you like scandi-noir you’re used to it. Very very satisfying binge-worthy show. Set in Seattle it’s grey enough for the Scandinavian look. Apparently, it never stops raining in Seattle. Good for the atmosphere of the show. Going to watch the Danish series next and stop the presses: It’ll be hard to beat the American version. Hard to believe I know. The two leads are perfect in every way. Except Joel Linnaman’s chin hair But it’s part of his character’s look. Mirielle Enos couldn’t be better. Also, They are the two adult leads in Amazon’s Hanna. Also binge worthy tv. Highly recommend that, too.
