TV has been pretty quiet of late. That is, of course, unless you're a Wimbledon or Football fan. However, Luke, Matt and Dawn are back to review 4 new shows available on streaming Platforms and ITV2. Firstly, one of the best shows of the decade, The Bear, returns for its fourth season. It's fair to say that season 3 received a lukewarm response from critics and fans alike. Without spoiling it, season 4 is a huge improvement and gives fans who love what The Bear does well exactly what they want and perhaps more. Secondly, fresh from the huge success of The Queen's Gambit, writer Scott Frank is back with Netflix adapting the Danish novel Department Q and relocating the characters to Scotland for what becomes a gripping Slow Horses and Nordic Noir hybrid. Next, Apple TV+ has a 9-part crime thriller Smoke, which sees two fire investigators looking into two arsonists.  Finally, it's a rare trip for us to ITV2, for comedy Transaction about a trans woman who is called upon to work in a supermarket who suffer a PR nightmare. Then, what is quickly becoming the best part of the pod, our 3 strikes you are out quiz, where Dawn and Luke go head-to-head in naming Netflix Original Series.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2025/07/02/thinking-aloud-about-film-ritrovato-round-up-2025-with-pamela-hutchinson/ For this year's Ritrovato Round-Up we are joined by the witty, incisive and all-around fabulous Pamela Hutchinson, editor of the Silent London website, author of two marvellous BFI Classic monographs (The Red Shoes, Pandora's Box), producer of the Weekly Film Bulletin for Sight and Sound and one of the jurors for Ritrovato's DVD Awards since 2018. In the discussion that follows we touch on all the strands of the festival, praise Cecilia Cenciarelli for her programming, Mariann Lewinsky for her illuminating introductions and Ehsan Khoshbakht for his superb programme notes on Lewis Milestone. We touch on the Willi Forst and Nordic Noir programmes, so popular José couldn't get into any of them. We have a lively debate on Molly Haskell's Hepburn programme, agree on our love of Naruse, discuss how Comencini's Delitto de amore  highlights issues of class and made us want to see more Comencini films and delight in the early cinema and silent cinema strands. Sumitra Peries' Gehenu Lamai (The Girls) is a film we all adored. We touch on memorable experiences, such as watching Coline Serrault introduce Trois hommes et un couffin at the Piazza Maggiore, or the incredible response to Chaplin's The Gold Rush, the impact of Silvana Mangano in Bitter Rice, the intensity of the colour in Duel in the Sun, or the spontaneous applause for Shirley MacLaine in Artists and Models.

Mit "Department Q" (5:58) wagen sich Netflix und "Das Damengambit"-Macher Scott Frank an eine Neuverfilmung der Jussi-Adler-Olsen-Romane, die er allerdings von Kopenhagen nach Edinburgh verlegt. Michael und Rüdiger diskutieren ob dies eine gelungene Entscheidung ist, ob man Schönling Matthew Goode eine etwas rustikalere Rolle abnimmt und welche Vor- und Nachteile es hat, statt eines Films eine neunteilige Serie aus dem Roman zu machen. Ähnlich beliebt wie Nordic Noir sind in letzter Zeit Serien über die Probleme der Reichen und Schönen. Mit "Sirens" (33:02) kommt jetzt bei Netflix der neueste Beitrag in dem zwei Schwestern (u.a. Milly Alcock aus "House of the Dragon") in die Fänge von Milliardärin Julianne Moore geraten. Ist das noch frisch? Kann Molly Smith Metzler nach "Maid" einen weiteren Miniserien-Hit landen? Und wie konnte es passieren, dass Nicole Kidman in der Serie nicht mitspielt? Danach widmen wir uns der von Guy Ritchie mit-inszenierten Serie "Mobland" (49:56) bei Paramount+, die einst als "Ray Donovan"-Prequel gedacht war. Hat die mitten im Entstehungsprozess durchgeführte Neuausrichtung Erfolg gehabt? Kann Michael seinen Hass gegen Tom Hardy ablegen? Warum sind die Dialoge von Helen Mirren so komisch? Und was hat sich Pierce Brosnan bei seinem irischen Akzent gedacht? Apropos Irland: Zum Schluss haben wir uns noch einen Hörer-Tipp zu Herzen genommen und die irische Horrorkomödie "Video Nasty" (1:07:28) in der ARD Mediathek angeschaut, die aus der 80er-Jahre-Panik um "jugendgefährdende" VHS-Filme eine Serie macht: zwei Jungs sammeln die 72 schlimmsten Filme und geraten dabei in eine Geschichte, die genau den Stil der B-Movie-Filme kopiert, die damals verboten werden sollten.

Auf Apple ist wieder einmal Verlass: Gerade mal acht Monate nach seinem letzten gelösten Fall darf Gary Oldman als Jackson Lamb in "Slow Horses" (3:52) erneut die löchrigen Socken rausholen und mit seiner Loser-Truppe aus aussortierten Agenten Großbritannien retten. Im Fokus steht dieses Mal River Cartwrights Opa (Jonathan Pryce), dessen Demenz zur Gefahr für die britische Sicherheit wird und der in seiner Vergangenheit mit verschuldet haben könnte, dass ein Selbstmordattentäter ein Londoner Einkaufszentrum in die Luft jagen konnte. Holger, Michael und Rüdiger satteln wieder die Pferde und diskutieren nicht, ob die vierte Staffel gut ist - das steht außer Frage - sondern, was das Erfolgsgeheimnis der brillanten Serie ist und wie sie sich im direkten Vergleich mit den drei Vorgängerstaffeln schlägt. Nachdem Holger die Runde verlässt, entgleist der Podcast hoffentlich nicht so wie ein Personenzug in der neuen ARD-Mediathekenserie "Seconds - In den Trümmern der Katastrophe" (34:42). Im finnischen Sechsteiler wird anders als in den meisten Scandi-Krimis dankenswerterweise mal kein Mörder gesucht, aber die Unfallermittlerin im Fokus der Serie hat natürlich auch seit ihrer Kindheit ein Säckchen mit persönlichen Problemen zu tragen. Funktioniert dieser Mix oder sollten unsere nordischen Nachbarn doch lieber beim erprobten Nordic Noir bleiben?

Norwegian crime writing legend GUNNAR STAALESEN chats to Craig Sisterson about his new hardboiled thriller Mirror Image, Varg Veum and Bergen, crime fiction as social commentary with humour, Joe Biden PI & wolf in a sanctuary. MIRROR IMAGE: As Bergen PI Varg Veum investigates two different cases, it becomes clear that they are uncannily similar to harrowing events that took place thirty-six years earlier… A gripping instalment of the award-winning Varg Veum series, by one of the fathers of Nordic Noir.Bergen Private Investigator Varg Veum is perplexed when two wildly different cases cross his desk at the same time. A lawyer, anxious to protect her privacy, asks Varg to find her sister, who has disappeared with her husband, seemingly without trace, while a ship carrying unknown cargo is heading towards the Norwegian coast, and the authorities need answers.Varg immerses himself in the investigations, and it becomes clear that the two cases are linked, and have unsettling – and increasingly uncanny – similarities to events that took place thirty-six years earlier, when a woman and her saxophonist lover drove their car off a cliff, in an apparent double suicide.As Varg is drawn into a complex case involving star-crossed lovers, toxic waste and illegal immigrants, history seems determined to repeat itself in perfect detail … and at terrifying cost...GUNNAR STAALESEN: One of the fathers of Nordic Noir, Gunnar Staalesen was born in Bergen, Norway, in 1947. He made his debut at the age of twenty-two with Seasons of Innocence and in 1977 he published the first book in the Varg Veum series. He is the author of over twenty titles, which have been published in twenty-four countries and sold over four million copies. Twelve film adaptations of his Varg Veum crime novels have appeared since 2007, starring the popular Norwegian actor Trond Espen Seim. Staalesen has won three Golden Pistols (including the Prize of Honour) and Where Roses Never Die won the 2017 Petrona Award for Nordic Crime Fiction, and Big Sister was shortlisted in 2019. He lives with his wife in Bergen.Don Bartlett completed an MA in Literary Translation at the University of East Anglia in 2000 and has since worked with a wide variety of Danish and Norwegian authors, including Jo Nesbø and Gunnar Staalesen's Varg Veum series: We Shall Inherit the Wind, Wolves in the Dark and the Petrona award-winning Where Roses Never Die.

It's not quite at the level of Cycle Brewing's classic stout but it's a hell of a beer. We follow this up with a strong ale from Norwegian brewery Nogne O. Nordic Noir 2 is 15.5% stronge ale made with chocolate malt, honey and juniper. It's meant to evoke the nature of Norway. It kind of does that but also reminds us of Jägermeister.

I've “lost” somewhere in my house the navy yarn for the toe. Garter Squish Blanket On the seventh of fourteen contrasting colors  I frogged the Phrancko Designs crew neck from Phrancko.com by Frank Jernigan as it was too small. I don't think this is a problem with the Phrancko program but a problem with my gauge. I started a new sweater using Unpattern Top Down Raglan Pullover by Karen Alfke. Still knitting on cowl with four colors green (Amazon), blue (Cornflower), light blue (Rain), and mauve (Plum)  I'm spinning a 2lb bag of Manx Loaghton in my stash. This is a protected breed from the Isle of Man. I am using a woolen spun technique and have spun 5 skeins or approximately 400 yards  Kelly's Projects I'm still working on spinning (Oxford this time) so I can keep working on the Garter Squish blanket using handspun leftovers. So far there is only one yarn that was from a commercial braid of fiber. All the rest are small mill or  hand carded and dyed by me. We'll see if I'm able to continue that.  I also started a Mielie vest. I'm using Schaeffer Yarn Company Little Danya mohair. Considered bulky so I did some modifications to the pattern. Color is Rosa Parks and it was spirit yarn from NoCKRs retreat in 2018.  We Want to Hear You! Give us a call and tell us about your favorite LYS!  Go to speakpipe.com/twoewes and leave a message.

We'll put your voice feedback on the show!   From Janie- Stash 46:  Hear all about her LYS, Around the Table Yarns in Ohio.  From Cat-Catitude: Here is the last of the audio on The Faroe Islands. It's about Navia, the most visible yarn company both locally and internationally. They've done a neat thing: they designed vests and sweaters for a brand new detective series 'Trom' (available on viaplay.dk) which is set and filmed on the Faroes, the first of it's kind here on the islands. Scandinavia has a long standing tradition of thrillers and detectives, sometimes referred to as Nordic Noir.  Some people may know the Danish series 'The Killing' (Forbrygdelse) from 2011 which features a very popular knitted sweater worn by detective Sarah Lund. That sweater was designed by Faroese fashion designers Gudrun & Gudrun and can therefore not be sold as a pattern. (Although there are charts floating around Ravelry, and it's easy to make up your own version. I've seen at least 30 Faroese people this week wearing a homemade sweater just like it, including children.) The sweaters are still being sold in all sizes by Gudrun & Gudrun here in Torshavn. Navia wanted to get in on the action this time, and they worked together with the director and team who produced 'Trom'. One of the Navia-family members even wrote on the script.  There are only 60.000 Faroese people (in total!) so you can imagine that a lot of locals were involved in the filming. The Mayor of Runavik, the third city here, even plays a part as a security guard!  I talked at length with the lady in the Navia flagstore at the village of Toftir (in Faroese) about Trom. I included some short audio bits, might be fun to hear a totally different language! She pointed out that there are also a lot of older knitted sweaters in the series, which makes sense because everyone here wears wool all the time. Lots to look at, even for knitters who are not into murder mysteries! And of course you get a glimpse of this fabulous archipelago. She has also given permission for both the audio and her picture to go onto the podcast and shownotes, I told her about the Two Ewes and asked her permission specifically! Audio "Navia Toftir": english info by me Audio "What is Trom": she explains it's a detective series and Navia has designed vests and sweaters. Audio "Nerd": she explains we knitters can really 'nerd out' when watching the series, as you can look at all the sweaters and knit them at the same time! The patterns for Trom will be available in English on the Navia website shortly: www.Navia.fo Also, please see pics for the beautiful store.  Best wishes from your foreign correspondent :) :)  Cat The Wool Islands video about the Faroe Islands  Stitches West 2022 Celebration Giveaway: Instagram and Ravelry ends soon– April 15.
