What TV are you watching?

Good first episode of the latest series of Blue light tonight

I’m going to binge watch it I think.

The falcon and the winter soldier , i thought it was a film but turns out its a tv series.
Standard marvel fare .

Will be catching up on series 3 of Tulsa King while doing the ironing.

Wayward on Netflix. Decent cast (Toni Colette and Mae Martin). Think 9 Perfect Strangers but with kids and a bit more coersion.
High on concept, meh on execution.

I watched the first 3 episodes, I wanted to like it but it didn't gel for me. Some characters were too extreme, whilst others were just copy/paste from any other high school series. They have handled the "cult" thing with a sledgehammer; more subtlety needed to be believeable I think

Finished The Hack on ITV-X last night. We both thought it was brilliant.

Black Rabbit (Netflix). 8 x 45 min episides starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman. Both play their characters very well. I didn't think I'd like it, as it looked a bit gangster/cartel for me, but we really enjoyed it. There wasn't a duff actor anywhere, the plot was engaging and ridiculous enough to be an entertaining watch rather than a true-to-life story. 9/10

Started to watch the first couple of episodes and decided it's not for me....don't usually mind Jude Law but Bateman nah...too cheesy for me.
There again there's something about a lot of the Netflix shows that doesn't do it for me,almost like they're dumbed down for us ! Or I'm just a awkward viewer 😁

Better Call Saul

Only the second time I've seen it, its much better the second time around. It serves as both a prequel and sequel to Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman's character in Breaking Bad. It does a great job of not only fleshing him out beyond 'scumbag lawyer' but also shows how his decisions in his life lead him to becoming Saul Goodman.

If I have a complaint then its that a story thats in play showing how Gus came to build his business, finishes a few episodes before the end. The next couple episodes switch instead to focussing on Jimmy/Saul again. I find it a bit of let down but I know that ultimately it finishes on a real banger so looking forward to that.

I enjoyed it far more then Breaking Bad.

Got a lot of episodes left to watch but a low key interesting series. I'm really enjoying it, couple of episodes a week (more and it might get a bit "samey").

The Hack: although I'll concede that it very much appeals to Brits of a certain age, I absolutely loved it. They managed to turn what could have been a dry 6 hours into an absorbing and funny yarn. You could tell by the breadth and quality of the cast how many people wanted this to succeed.
Strangely, the Guardian gave it 2 stars. Maybe the reviewer wants to work for News Corp in the future.

Andor, seasons 1 & 2. Despite not being a huge Star Wars fan recently revisted my youth and watched the first 3 films, The Empire Strikes Back was definitely the best (just IMHO), then Star Wars, thought Return of The Jedi was pretty lame to be honest. Remember thinking The Phantom Menace was trash so never bothered with that. Did like Rogue One though, haven't watched any others. Should've really watched Andor before Rogue One though. Andor is pretty good, even if your not a huge Star Wars fan like myself it's a really worthwhile watch. A lot deeper than the 3 films, lot to do with politics etc.

Might watch the animated series Clone Wars as I've read that this really good. Was never really a huge fan of anime, but after watching Arcane League Of Legends, which was fantastic, I'll give more of it a go these days.

Second episode of All Creatures Great & Small, over Thursday & Friday evenings (on early-turns, so went to bed at 21:30)
Amusing to see Siegfried, doing a 'walk of shame', or as close as a (just) post WW2 sensibility allowed

Sister Rose; an interesting addition, & I hope she stays in the series, for a couple of episodes
I could be wrong, but would there have been any Caribbean Nurses in that era (unless ex military?) & at that level?

Mapp & Lucia. Vintage entertainment. Not something I thought I'd ever entertain but found it really enjoyable. It's just finished on freeview rewind
