Catch a glimpse of the BBC's The City and the City

[phuzz]

I watched it back when it was on iPlayer and enjoyed it. It leaned a bit more towards ‘police procedural’ than the book, but honestly considering my first reaction when I heard about it (“how the fuck are they going to film that?”) they did a really, really good job.

It’s a testament to how easily we can now get most things that it’s become jarring to discover that there is a relatively well-reviewed piece of pop culture, developed by a major network, that is difficult or impossible to get (legally) and watch immediately in the U.S.

Welcome to what it’s like for us in the UK. Want to watch (eg) The Expanse? Well you used to be able to get get the first two series on Netflix, but AFAIK there’s no legal way to watch the third.
