These are fictional spy books but the main character was raised in postwar Berlin (his dad was the Berlin station chief). Actually these (nine) books are brilliant regardless of the setting; best spy books I have ever read. Another decent fictional one. A series about a Berlin police detective that starts in the 30's, this one's based in 1949. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a few episodes, it's probably closer to Top Boy than it is The Wire, probably worth watching if you're looking for something but I wouldn't have massively high hopes for it. You tried Snowfall that's a belter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Why have there been virtually no films or tv dramas about COVID? Given the subject matter you would think that it would be prime material for popular culture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is both absolutely terrible, and well worth a watch. Some of the actors are fucking awful, but it's still good. Violence and shagging aplenty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Would appreciate some assistance here folks. Mrs. F_P is off to China for a few days on biz and has just informed me that if I need to communicate with her, I must download WeChat. Anyone have experience of this app ? Do's and dont's ? All relevant advice gratefully received. TIA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the Chinese equivalent of WhatsApp allowing the government full access to messages of their citizens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
