If anyone missed Giri/Haji i'd really recommend it - a really excellent British / Japanese crime drama which is really well written and acted and beautifully shot - it was on BBC2 so you should be able to get it on iplayer still

It was really funny too.

It has the same irreverant quality as Killing Eve. But whereas Killing Eve lost all semblance of any plot or character development half way through the first season and just became a series of skits, Giri/Haji was continually surprising and engaging.

They did well to create a fairly unpredictable ending though they did jump the shark even more than usual in this series, but still, always entertainung

It was at it's best when it was being a spy show, so basically when the intrigue between Carrie and Saul was at the centre. That's why the final series ended on a high note.

Some of the post-Brody storylines and central characters either never took off or lacked that early nuance and at times felt like a generic gung-ho military action film. It was better in it's smaller, intimate moments.

On that note, if you want a more streamlined Homeland without dumb bitch Carrie ruining it for you, Jack Ryan on Amazon is worth watching.

It's the best version of Jack Ryan on screen and the first series especially matches Homeland at it's strongest in showing both sides of the conflict. It's more consistent than Homeland and the action and set-pieces are obviously more prominent.

Most importantly The Bunk is in it .

I'm assuming that's the series actually endorsed by the author, as opposed to the film with the ludicrously-cast scientology-loving midget?

Yes, and you just got the sense the actors loved it because all the characters were fully-fleshed out and had some great lines

And THAT rooftop scene in the final episode was stunning

Harsh on Harrison Ford tbh.


You're mixing up Jack Reacher with Jack Ryan, which is the Tom Clancy series.
