FUGITIVES

So what is it? A subtitled Chilean drama about four people who go on the run after a dodgy drug deal.

Who’s in it? Um... quite a lot of South-American actors you probably won’t know. What’s happened so far? Lead Tegui has figured out who set them up, and plans to expose them to clear his name. How many hours have I missed? Factor in tea breaks and subtitle breaks and it’s a full 13 hours. The episode where it got really good: The series opens with a car chase, with one of the titular fugitives shot and bleeding. So, straight away really… What your colleagues will say about it over the desk: “I’m not even doing any drug deals but I still feel paranoid that I’m about to be double-crossed.” Sound knowledgeable with… “This was the first Chilean show to make it onto British TV.”

 Series 2 is on Walter Presents/ Channel 4 in April
