Django

Django on Sky Atlantic stars Matthias Schoenaerts, Nicholas Pinnock, Lisa VIcari and Noomi Rapace and is loosely based on the acclaimed Spaghetti Western movie from 1966

Classic Westerns are always popular but 10-part series Django offers a fresh take on the traditional genre. Loosely based on the famous 1966 Spaghetti Western film, the new series also has a strong psychological element to it, and the female characters we're told will be much more to the fore, all to appeal to a newer audience

Was hoping it would have the song from the original.

Oh... but when Django turns up in this, I had to google and check some wikis. Didn't watch the trailer might have been my problem. 🙂

I mistakenly guessed this was based on Django Unchained but it's based the 1966 film Django which it turns out.. that Django Unchained was a tribute to and had lots of nods to... which was something I don't think I knew when watching Django Unchained 😲😁

1: Eh. Not sure where this is going. They're not shy using violence gore and nudity. Early on there was a fight at a bar and the wierd thing for me was the tiny glasses everyone had for their booze. At a guess..

maybe Noomi Rapace is gonna sweep through the town and cut the place to pieces with bullets? Then some kind of survivalist/on-the-run series with Django, the daughter and.. maybe this John Ellis who I'm guessing rescued her as a child and who she just left at the .. alter? marrying place?

Noomi had a pretty good southern accent for the one or two lines she had. The rest didn't seem as strong.
