In order to add some conflict to the situation, every character is fiercely proud of their country on arbitrary grounds – the German and Japanese characters arguing over who is more efficient, and Ali (a Muslim) and Ranjeet (a Sihk) at each-others throats immediately, possibly spurred on by Brown’s erroneous assumption that they are “countrymen”. To take the most obvious example this is the opening exchange between Jeremy Brown and his student Ali Nadeem, a Pakistani This isn’t great, of course, but lazy jokes are the worse crime. Each and every character seems to be nothing more than a broad stereotype with little or no other characteristics. Does the first episode of MYL reflect this? Well, no, obviously, it doesn’t. I can’t count the number of fascinating, bizarre characters I’ve met. If teaching ESL around the world has taught me anything it’s that everyone’s different but that we share a great deal, and that very little of a person’s personality can be determined from their nationality. As it was cancelled before I was born and not that suitable for repeat showings I knew little about it, apart from that (a) it’s the only mainsteam media portrayal of my chosen career and (b) it’s generally looked back upon as a shameful excuse for a parade of borderline-racist stereotypes in the name of cheap comedy.Ī quick search revealed the episodes to be fairly accessible online, so for some reason I’m going to review the episodes and grade Mr Jeremy Brown on his teaching. Narcos : Mexico will conclude with a third season, released on 5 November 2021.A passing mention in a David Mitchell column this weekend started me thinking about the 1970s British sitcom Mind Your Language.

Reported to be one of Netflix’s biggest hits – the company doesn’t release audience figures – it turns its attention in its fourth and fifth season to Mexico’s interminable drugs wars, with Diego Luna playing Guadalajara cartel honcho Miguel Gallardo.

Series one and two feature a mesmerising performance by Wagner Moura as Columbian cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar, while season three focuses on the notorious Cali cartel. Narcos, in other words, is for people who consider Pacino’s Scarface a touch too understated.

This drug trafficking caper spells out exactly what kind of series it is with an early scene in which two gangsters zip around a multi-level carpark on a motorbike firing a machine gun.

Two final seasons will bring down the curtains, and feature Imelda Staunton as the Queen, Jonathan Pryce as Philip, Dominic West as Charles, Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles, Elizabeth Debicki as Diana and Jonny Lee Miller as John Major. Foy and the rest of the principal cast have now departed, with a crew of older actors – headed by Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies – taking over as the middle-aged Windsors for season three and four and Emma Corin turning heads as a young Princess Diana.

Most impressive of all, arguably, is Claire Foy, who plays the Queen as a shy woman thrust unwillingly into the spotlight. Matt Smith is charmingly roguish as Prince Philip and Vanessa Kirby has ascended the Hollywood ranks on the back of her turn as the flawed yet sympathetic Princess Margaret. Tracing the reign of Elizabeth II from her days as a wide-eyed young woman propelled to the throne after the surprise early death of her father, The Crown humanises the royals even as it paints their private lives as a bodice-ripping soap. A right royal blockbuster from dramatist Peter Morgan ( The Queen, Frost / Nixon).
