My list will not be as long as yours, Selene! Mostly and if I feel like it: English and Scandinavian detective/police series, like Morse/Lewis, Silent Witness, but can't name any Scandinavian series at the moment. Sometimes Law & Order. For me US series are often a bit over the top. As for series on DVD/Blueray: Game of Thrones, Vikings, Grimm and of course the short series The Hunger Games and The Divergent Series.

A The Hunger Games short series? Now I'm all ears. I did a quick search; do you mean this one?: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5 ... Pkxf-Xm6MQ

I heard of the Divergent series when I was looking for a sequel. Thanks for reminding me that this series exists :).

In the past I used to watch German series Cobra 11 (a bit over the top) and Tatort. Just remembered the Danish series The Bridge and Borgen. Still no recollection of the last Scandinavian series I've seen, but as I recall it was about a Danish policewoman accepting a position in Norway.

I call it a movie series: (1) The Hunger Games, (2) Catching Fire, (3) Mockingjay Pt. 1, (4) Mockingjay Pt. 2, (5) coming in 2023: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

As for the Divergent Series only 3 are released: Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiance. Allegiance however, is only the first half of the book. Allegiance part 2 has never been released.

This remembers me to buy a new Blueray/DVD player for my PC. My present one is refusing to play those!

For the rest I'm not watching much TV and I'm quite selective in buying Bluerays or DVDs. Only programs on TV I'm watching are News and News documentaries, at the moment particularly about the war in the Ukraine, because I have a few friends there. Sofar my friends are not in any trouble.

I misunderstood, I thought you meant a short film spin-off of the Hunger Games and a possible TV series sequel of Allegiance (I only heard rumors about this back then; it's too bad that it never got released).

I agree, the explosions and crashes in Alarm für Cobra 11 are exaggerated.

I watch "Tatort" from time to time, mostly the one that takes place in Muenster. The interaction between the actors Jan Josef Liefers (plays Boerne) and Axel Prahl (plays Thiel) is unique and often very funny :sn-2:.

What a great movie that was and is! The last time I watched it was when I lived back in New Jersey - talking over twenty years ago.

Indeed, it was and still is! But, the series on Netflix also is exceptional! No idea if it is available on Blueray or DVD.
