Paris Has Fallen

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33184638/

A protection officer and an MI6 operative team up after a terrorist attack. They suspect a mole as they race to thwart a larger conspiracy threatening Paris

Not sure if it is available on UK tv at the moment but I'm sure it will be at some point.
Nothing to do with the "...Has Fallen" franchise I don't think but in a similar vain - terrorists, explosions, shootouts, kidnappings etc. Three episodes in and very watchable so far

EDIT - according to wikipedia it is a spin off of the "...has fallen" franchise

concluded this week, very enjoyable, obviously not the same budget of the "has fallen" films but still a good watch. Supposed to be a French series but it is actually mostly in English, would say less than half in French. Available on Prime apparently. 6.5/10

I have two episodes to go. So far it's not too bad, with some decent action scenes.

It’s decent enough mid tier TV.
The Top Gear test track makes an appearance in episode 8

It was diverting enough. The plot holes got larger as time went on, and the ending was a little predictable, but on balance, I enjoyed it. The fact I watched it across consecutive evenings says as much. smile

Yes deffo some continuity issues like the 5 series screen being shot then 3 mins later they're driving off in it to the sky diver's husband. No hole. Oh, and where are their bosses and the masses of paperwork they'd have to do?!?

We are really enjoying this, almost finished it.

The female lead is brilliant.

6 episodes in and still liking it, keeps my attention.

The last episode didn't have French subtitles, it just said (Speaking French) laugh

Had to turn off subtitles in order to get the French translation. Wasn't like that with the other episodes.

Not so much 'Fallen'.....but more '24' in feel.

Should have just called it 'Betrayal'.
