I'll check it out, might be on Netflix. I have seen all the Dragon tattoo movies, I don't mind the subtitles. I just finished watching a Danish series, Dicte, that had a JW angle, now I am watching Rita, another Danish series about a non conformist teacher.

There is a series on Channel 4 starting this week, called "Humans", sounds very similar. Shame I am in Canada and won't be able to watch it until I get back.

Yes, it's the same program remade as an English language version.

Thanks for the heads up about this Simon. I watched the original Swedish version and thought it was one of the best things I've seen on TV ever. It was really well paced and clearly a lot of thought had gone into what the consequences would be of having human like robots around and the numerous sub-plots bore this out. I found myself thinking 'Yes, that is what would happen' on many occasions.
I watched both series in a binge before I watched the Channel 4 version 'Humans'. I thought this was a poor copy. Too rushed, trying to pull together just the best bits of the original. But in doing so they missed out on a lot of the background stories, and having seen the original I was not as engaged and ultimately I was disappointed.
It was certainly thought provoking and I can see that these are issues that society will face over the coming decades.
Highly recommended! :)

Simon, you recommended Game of Thrones to us and we are addicted.
Will try this and see if we can get hooked.
Thanks

Yeah, it's a good show but not as good as the original. The characters and the story lines are more complex and it just seems grittier.
I'm going to watch both though.

Other good things to consider watching:
Breaking Bad (didn't appeal to me for the longest time, turns out it's awesome)
Dexter (well, upto the end of season 5 and then read the ending that director wanted)
Once Upon a Time (yeah, cheesy ... but enjoyable)
We're just re-watching seasons 1 and 2 of Heroes (so much promise) before giving the Reborn show a try.

I'm stoked for "The Expanse".
The books are awesome.
