I guess jail isn't a deterrent in Russia just like it isn't here. In comparison, our jails are violent, dirty and overcrowded. "The Black Dolphin" is no where near where I'd want to be- geez- if that doesn't stop you from cannibalizing people, nothing will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Finnish prisons are a playground in comparison to the Russian and American prisons... They have it easy over here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally off the topic of What are you watching, but I wish the jail/ prison system focused more on rehabilitation vs. punishment. Here, it just seems like criminals refine their craft and then are released to do worse things. Isn't it more rehabilitation in Finland? I think of you guys as so much more open minded there.

Athena Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 @ Anna I think here there is more rehabilitation but I wouldn't know for sure as I don't know a whole lot about our prison system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 We've started watching Abenobashi: Magical Shopping Arcade, an anime TV series. I've seen five episodes so far (I think) and am enjoying it. Each episode is a parody on a theme, but there's also an actual story going on about the two main characters and the side characters.

pontalba Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 We've just gone through the 7 seasons of Prime Suspect. It's the Jane Tennison series from BBC, not that new, I think it finished in 2006 or 2007. Absolutely wonderful detective show. Helen Mirren plays Jane, and as the series wasn't done every year, it's over a 15 year period or so. Started in 1992 -3 I think. She plays a character that eventually becomes a Superintendent of police. The very first female DCI actually. Great progression, great acting, fantastic stories. Love it, miss it already!
