Carlos

The miniseries. I'm streaming episode 3 tonight to finish. Cracking drama and the lead is fantastic. Love the 70's authenticity too and the multiple locations.

My only criticism is that it seems to be a series of stories with no central narrative but it's still well worth checking out if you like this sort of thing. Way better than 'Munich' and as good as 'The Baader Meinhof Complex'

Yes, I really enjoyed it. It's a great depiction of the age and political idealism of some of those people (i.e. my parents generation) who were born in the 40's. My dad and uncle still calls the Jackal "a genius" and semi-secretly romanticises their "struggle" etc.

Anyhow, Carlos was a very well done mini-series. Kind of died off towards the second half of it though, but at least it seemed quite truthful.
