Has anyone seen Occupied on Netflix?

I've had it recommended to me. A Norwegian political thriller?

I've seen it.  It's ok - a bit slow and laboured from time to time, but it's an interesting story.  Written by Jo Nesbo who wrote the Harry Hole novels.

Read most of his books, generally very good, haven't seen this though

Jo Nesbo did not write this story.
He had an idea of sorts, probably after the 5th expressso with a group of his friends. Other people ran with it but obviously his name carries currency,  so his name is there in the list of credits, the first name, a bait.

Patterson has done a lot of that stuff also, not the same

A different genre but I have really enjoyed watching" Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events" on Netflix with my son the last few days , Neil Patrick Harris is brilliant as Count Olaf in it

We enjoyed that as well as a family, I haven't seen much else like it, kid/young teen friendly but also smart.
We finished up the the 3 rd series last night and can honestly say its been the most enjoyable TV series we have watched as a family, i have the books ordered now as our son is mad to get reading them ( will probably read them myself as well )

Season 4 of Money Heist has been excellent so far

I haven't watched Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul. If I was starting now which would you think I should start with?

Gabriel_Hurl

Breaking Bad for sure. There's still one more season of BCS to do before they get to the starting point of BB and that won't be out for at least a year.

Start with Breaking Bad. Although BCS is a prequel it has it's own story going on and better to watch after.

Haven't tried Better Call Saul yet, but Breaking Bad was a long hard slog to get through. Nearly gave up on it a few times.

The last series of BB was very good though.

Ignore that ignorant buffoon. Breaking Bad is a masterpiece.

thewobbler

Better Call Saul is better.

Better late than never - Watched Life on Mars and going through Ashes to Ashes atm. Ridiculous premise, corny, kitsch, whatever but entertaining nonetheless. Finding Ashes to Ashes significantly better than Life on Mars I have to say. Fire up the Quattro!
