I really like it.
It's dumb as rocks mostly, but does it ever move just so effortlessly.
Never boring, and you're never wondering what's going on at any moment. There's a real pleasure in watching something where the direction is so propulsive.

Like the opposite of Fargo (both good!) where there's layers and allusions and dream sequences and sineaters and all sorts. And you always feel like you should read a recap after to see what you might not have twigged.

I like a balanced diet.




Holy cow, I'm taller than this guy?
Dude is as wide as he is high though, in fairness

Y'see, it does matter when you convert an inch to 25.4mm rather than 25mm. I'll be using this example at work.

I'm still watching Kin. It's picking up. Don't know how you lot find the time for all this.

hard to say with how it ended if there will be a S3?

Foundation Season 2. I had tried so many times with season 1, would always fall asleep within 10 minutes. Decided to give it another go over Christmas, and it got its hooks in. Season 2 was *excellent*

Just finished Slow Horses #s3 last night. Was really good, but nowhere as good as the previous seasons, not enough Oldman

Reacher S2. Not as good as S1 so far.

 

[JohnnyRaz]

this is pretty good so far....
has the usual few slapstick characters, and misty filter romance bits that seem to be par for the course for Korean tv, but it holds the attention..and obviously the historical context/references are very real and dark.

Loudermilk on Netflix.

Great stuff.

Loudermilk on Netflix.

Great stuff.

Saw about 15 seconds of this and I’m surprised that it was made. The worst written dialogue I have ever heard. My wife persevered through the entire first episode and I’m still hearing her rage about it.

Mr Bates vs The Post Office. Really good. Maddening stuff.

The Rovers. Joe Wilkinson‘s Craig Cash vehicle from 2016, which was so regressive compared to much earlier shows like Early Doors and the Royle Family (I wouldn‘t have expected Wilkinson to be so cackhanded with the Indian caricature for example) but it had a few genuine laughs in it and Sue Johnston steals it, as always.

Hilarious show

We started The Tourist last night . I have my doubts. CGI smoke after a bomb goes off ..hmmm

Watched all of Echo last night. Mostly it was very good - decent fight scenes, fantastic sound design. A good chunk of the dialog is in ASL, and there’s a fair amount of Choctaw in there too. Definitely closer in tone to the Netflix Daredevil show than any of the existing Disney+ stuff.

Criminal Record (I think its called) was released on appleTv+ yesterday. They're releasing 2 episodes a week. Not sure if its a Harlan Coban thing but it has a bang of him off it. Its decent.

Still the same old twaddle to me, but I'm sticking with it



Also, at the risk of boring/annoying everyone to death, why is almost everyone in this show English?
Is it that when you have emperors and sorcerers and princesses, that it just codes better with English accents?
I'm not complaining (kinda am) but honestly trying to figure out the artistic choice here. Like there were production meetings about this and they decided to go hard on the English. Same with Andor.

Asimov spoke like the New York jew he was, yet this whole thing is populated like the BBC made it.
Is it just cos that's how GoT did it, and that works, so why not?
Curious.
