What TV shows are people watching? (rock, fan, quote)

Just finished possibly the best Nordic drama I've seen since The Bridge. Based around the lead-up to a terrorist attack on a restaurant in Copenhagen, When the Dust Settles takes a deep look at the coincidences and circumstances that have people ending up where they should not be, and thus caught in the crossfire. Superb performances all around, tight, gripping writing and the kind of plot that does something I find very hard for any writer to do, which is change your mind about characters - you start off hating one guy and liking another, and by the end of the series your feelings towards both have completely reversed. Highly recommended. Available through the on-demand service ALL4 from Channel 4 in the UK.

Incidentally, Your Honor fell apart. The plot got so contrived and ridiculous, it just was insulting my intelligence watching it. Plus I no longer cared about any of the characters, all of whom were selfish ****s. So I ditched it. I spoke to someone on another forum who agreed, watched it to the end and said it did not improve, so I'm glad I stopped where I did.
