Horns a plenty on last nights Marple. Timothy Dalton, Carrie Mulligan, and this lady.

Slightly offset by having that laurence fox guy in it. Can't win em all.

Lovecraft Country. First episode is fine. Nothing amazing. Marred by the bad CGI which ruins much contemporary horror. I'll keep watching though

Got two recommendations for Selling Sunset. A 'reality show' where models sell multimillion dollar houses. I'm not used to these shows. I don't know what to make of it. It could be based on a real place or the this could be total fiction and every person in it be actors.

I've sat in on a few episodes of Selling Sunset. It's fairly standard for that kinda "reality" show. "Beautiful" people who've had lots of work done, selling over priced gross properties worth millions to very rich people people who've had a lot of work done whilst also getting in each others business. One property sold for $39.5million.

can't remember. Most people in it are either actors or software engineers.

I saw a post on Twitter by someone who worked as a producer on that show. She said they paid below minimum wage and expected her to cover her own expenses.

watched the short and sweet London Irish on Prime. Didn't realise until afterwards that it as made as far back as 2013.

It was a bit cartoonish but I still thought it was good craic. I wonder why it was never commissioned for another season. I have a feeling it might have been a little bit before its time, given the success of Derry Girls, etc.

it was. And its a very similar kind of humour, hence me thinking it would probably do much better if were out now.

Enjoyed the first episode of Lovecraft Country but the second one ... good Jaysus .... was it really as bad as that?

Love on the Spectrum. Absolutely phenomenal. Beautiful, empathetic and funny without being patronizing or condescending. Only 5 episodes but could have easily watched 50.

Started on American Gods. Keep falling asleep during it, waking up and having no clue whatsoever is going and rewinding back to the start. Only managed two episodes so far.

Worth staying awake for?

watched Crashing on Netflix. Only one season, 6 episodes. The Fleabag one wrote it and is in it. Its hilarious. Way better than Fleabag imo
