Dark series 3 got a bit silly.

Spoiler

It all seemed a bit convenient to add a second then third world to sort it out, and what was all that nonsense with seeing themselves in the wardrobe? Maybe you can explain that to me!

I honestly have no f*cking idea about the bit you’re referring to. All seemed a bit up its own ar$e and trying to be like 2001.

Spoiler

You’re right, S3 got silly and was a very convenient, albeit tidy way to wrap things up. I was also wondering about midway through S2 that there were so many people time travelling to the same places in the same time periods that I thought it would have been playing havoc with things back in the original time. I’m sure the writers had everything mapped-out for the main characters so that internet nerds couldn’t poke holes in the plot, but going by the “rules” of time travel, I was starting to wonder if there were people disappearing and re-appearing left, right and centre in some timelines.

I’ll be honest, I still can’t remember how they chose which door went to which year...

Spoiler

Jonas and Martha were in that sparkly corridor near the end and they saw their child selves through the back of a wardrobe.

I got that, but I just didn’t understand the actual point of it or how it forwarded the plot. I’m guessing its another paradox where it didn’t happen until that point in time, but as soon as it did happen, their past selves would have that memory?

This show aired once on Sky (I think), but you can’t buy it on any streaming platform and the only blu rays I’ve found are region locked US ones.

How is that still a thing in this day and age where the only practical option to watch/own something is to pirate it?

I read your description and thought it sounded good, then watched a trailer and was keen to watch it... disappointing to find it's not available. You can buy it on Amazon actually, but fuck that.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, less bloody, dark and strange than the brilliant Watchmen series but great ideas and cast and a killer soundtrack. Weirdly enough no angsty emo music despite the original comic being written by the lead singer of My Chemical Romance.

My nephew insisted I watch this but I just couldn't get into it. He's just started season 2 so I'll maybe try again.

No probs, do you use reddit? I got it from https://www.reddit.com/r/UKTVLAND/
From what I can tell, people record and chuck it up on a google drive, you can then make a copy and add to yours and download/stream.

Motor race, fun-fair, sponsors' bonanza, death trap. Whatever it is, the 24-hour race at Le Mans has become a legend; for the driver, just to finish is an achievement; for the fans, to be there is a unique experience. For the race marshals and police there is little chance to relax, for when tragedy strikes it can be swift and terrible. Last year, during one of the hottest weekends in the history of the race, reporter Jack Pizzey joined the 250,000 spectators. He followed the fortunes of two British entrants. One was Guy Edwards, the former Grand Prix driver who made the headlines when he rescued Niki Lauda from a blazing wreck in 1976. Now he is one of the most successful businessmen-drivers on the road racing circuit. The other was Alain de Cadenet, who with little backing has made 11 attempts, and is dedicated to winning Le Mans.
