The Change (2023)
Hit & Miss
Saw the first two episodes on tv, and thought they were quite funny. Streamed the rest of it, and was disappointed. The whole thing rapidly descended into an anti-male diatribe- as expected, since it's Channel Four and also because having an "existential crisis" is about as middle-class as it gets, despite the title character supposedly being working class. What 'working class woman' keeps a time-sheet? They even managed to work "saving the environment" into the script, just to cover all the bases.
Yes, there were some interesting characters. And decent acting, but not enough to keep the interest up. It'll be recommissioned for another series of course, since its Channel Four.
Paris Police 1900 (2021)
Brilliant!
An amazingly atmospheric series from start to finish. The French seem to excel at crime dramas, and this could be La Belle Epocque's answer to Engrenages (Spiral) if they do another series.
There wasn't a duff character or storyline in it; they perfectly captured both the gritty atmosphere and personal demeanor of the people and the time.
Absolutely fantastic.
