We were in the middle of a wonderful French series called "The Bureau," a spy thriller, but unfortunately our streaming pulled it for some contractual reason and now we can't finish it.

^ funnily enough I mentioned that on the previous page. You may want to check out The Agency in that case. Also Paramount+ seem to be carryng all 5 seasons of the French original version.

Googled:

Yes, The Agency is an American remake of the French spy series Le Bureau des Légendes, also known as The Bureau. 
Details:
  • The Agency premiered on Paramount+ on November 29, 2024. 
  • The show stars Michael Fassbender as a CIA operative who is pulled out of an undercover assignment. 
  • The show was adapted by the Butterworth brothers and produced by George Clooney. 
  • The first two episodes were directed by Joe Wright. 
  • The show also stars Jodie Turner-Smith, Jeffrey Wright, Katherine Waterston, and Hugh Bonneville. 
Comparisons:
  • The show closely follows the original French scripts in its first two episodes. 
  • Some say the show is a stellar English-language take on the French series. 
  • Others say the show lacks the je ne sais quoi of the French original. 
Additional information: 
  • The show was originally titled The Department.
  • It was renewed for a second season.

Thanks Richard. I think we're too invested to switch to an American remake, and we currently don't have Paramount plus. But we switch services every so often, so that's great to know. The cast in the Bureau is really excellent.

^ No problem. I do like Paramount+. It has a good mixture as regards TV shows. Yellowstone is its flagship show but it also has the popular Lionesses and the Dexter reboots.

An t Eilean/The Island
Crime drama made by BBC Alba in the Gaelic language. It's very interesting and well made. The blurb:-
On an island, an enemy is forever. A dysfunctional family's world is shattered in a tense, twisting story of lies, loss and long-buried secrets. Groundbreaking Gaelic thriller.
8/10

^ yes it does! In the drama they speak fluently either Gaelic or English but it's just never one or the other. Amusingly, I heard the word 'Spondoolix' used as Gaelic for money yet this is used as slang in English the same way 'bread' or 'dough' is used. Presumably it's a Gaelic word and the slang came from that language I guess.

TV is out of bounds at the moment for me as my wife is glued to the latest season of Married at First Site Australia - 35 at least one hour long episodes. Unhappy

Star Wars: The Bad Batch

Fun, high-speed 3D animated series occurring just after "Order 66" is given by Emperor Palpatine in SW:Episode Three and follows a small band of clone troopers who are genetically resistant to radical commands, making them skilled fighters but dangerous to the newly formed Galactic Empire.   With a young girl in tow, they break away from their home planet Kamino in search of what the Emperor has in mind and whichever Jedi have survived the clone army attack.   American voice actor Dee Bradley Baker vocalizes all the clones in the series with his best Aussie Strine, and was created by Dave Filoni running from 2021 thru '24.

Peaky Blinders - season 6

Finally got to finish this show. Seemed like forever ago we watched season 5. Watching Murphy play a man confronting death by illness and the death of a child was something different from the other seasons. I wasn't totally blown away by this show like others, but I do enjoy British period pieces, and they did a great job with logistics. Looking forward to the movie someday.

Unforgotten
Now up to its 6th season, this drama goes from strength to strength. The police investigate a body in the London marshes with possible links to immigration (illegal and legal), racism, and even the break down of the healthcare support system, plus of course those dark buried secrets that come back to haunt you. Truly fantastic writing that is relevant and up to date, supported by top quality acting, this never disappoints. 9/10
