  1. ‘Occupied’ was a well made show that looked at a not so far fetched future due to Europe’s energy dependency on Russia, I hope this effort will be similar with it’s character development and mildly dystopian plot. I note that itv has some involvement with most of these Scandinavian shows too.

  2. Dis-used underground railway stations must be cheaper to rent than studio’s. Same temperature all year round – cold, as the-man-in-the-suit and overcoat can testify. An ideal spot to grow Psilocybin “magic mushrooms” I’m told. Do TV execs need further encouragement to move to platforms 26 or 27 at Sydney Central or 9.75 at St James?

  3. Relevant to a comment I made on another article, let’s hope that this is a good one and not something ordinary that SBS tries to pretend is “just like The Bridge, honest!”.
