I just finished watching the first season of the British crime series called Cooper & Fry. It is based on the books by Stephen Booth. Many of the episodes contains British folk lore, and there is also a character (the mother of police officer Ben Cooper) who does multiple tarot readings which tie into the cases that the polices are investigating.

I really enjoyed this series and I feel like the episodes kept getting better and better. In the beginning I was a bit unsure about the interpretations that was given about some of the cards, but as time went on, I could see that they had put effort into understanding tarot and doing something clever with it. I also found that the readings gave clues about how it was all going to end.

If anyone else has seen it, it would be fun to hear what you thought!

I'm happy to say I've just discovered it and will be watching it tonight!

I have just seen the last episod, couldn´t belief the ending...

But it was a good tv-serie and I hope that there will be more episodes.

Wish they would have showed the cards more open...

About the ending, I am going to try very hard to not do any spoilers, but I believe that the reading with the Hermit card held the key to that surprising turn of events. It was given an unusual interpretation, and in hindsight it all fits very well.

I did enjoy how she interpreted Wheel of Fortune as gambling, and (if I remember correctly) the 10 of Pentacles as 'money'. I agree that it would have been nice to see the cards more clearly, but I guess we can always go back and pause to look at the cards more carefully.

I too hope, and believe, that there will be another season.

Yes, now when you have the result in your hand, everything is clear!😉👍

I'm never spoiled by spoilers. Just completed 1st episode with no cards, screaming heads and a hand of glory.

I rather like series like this which have a quirky flavour. I can't wait for the next instalment...🤓

No cards in the first episode? I had to go back and check, and this was at roughly 34 minutes in.

But the coming episodes has more of it, I don’t believe she ever did any interpretations of the cards in the first episode. They were just there at the table, if I remember correctly

Yes - I was waiting for the reading interpretations, so I could see what you were referring to about The Hanged Man. Lol.

We see this table in the 1st episode with Fry glancing at it and commenting that "somebody is trying to contact the dead" - or along those lines.

Interesting comment for the spread.

I do like how she says it in such a matter-of-fact way (the character, Fry).

Ah! It was the Hermit in the reading, not the Hanged Man. Might have been in episode two.

LOL. Well I guess I am going to be madame square eyes today!
