Gangs of London is classic Sky produced style over substance. It looks amazing and has some incredibly beautifully shot set pieces but its utter nonsense, non existent plot, no characters to give a shit about, everyone is horrible apart from maybe Luan and even then I don't care.
Watched all 6 episodes of " SAS Rogue Heroes" on iPlayer and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Based on the truth & as such, informative, but also touching & humorous in places with good actors.
Hoping for a 2nd series.
this .. and in total contrast, 'The Devil's Hour' is (i m o) a compelling and 'different' psychcodrama/cops and villains series on Amazon
I’m not getting on with SAS Rogue heroes although Mrs SB is a fan. I can see what they are trying to do with the humour etc but I just can’t develop any lining whatsoever for any of the main characters. I need to find something I can get into. The Jeff Bridges thing on Disney is my next port of call.
'Somewhere Boy' - not bad. 'The Walk In' - a bit depressing. Enjoying watching the 3rd series of 'The Detectorists' (4) which is a bit slow but kinda cool...and free!
I watched the first Enola Holmes film and thought it was kind of OK, but dear god the latest one I had to stop watching. The acting from the lead is totally appalling, derived, lazy, no creativity, no originality, in a film that tried to throw everything in the pot and the result is a dog’s dinner of rubbish. Indulgent rubbish. Expensive indulgent rubbish. Whoever wrote, directed and participated in this should be sued for theft from others, not least the absolutely appalling acting by Millie Bobby Brown. I suspect she can do better, but she needs to learn the craft. I imagine loads of people saying to her ‘marvellous darling’ instead of helping her explore her endlessly poor acting decisions. Not recommended.

The Detectorists is very gentle and beautifully written - one of my favourite comedies of all time.

I thought Enola Holmes 2 was decent enough, some lighthearted fun. MBB is excellent in Stranger Things so the acting comments above are very harsh. Thought she did a decent enough job with what she was given in EH2, i cant imagine it’s easy to put in a great performance when you’re constantly talking directly to the audience.
Andor has been really good. Head and shoulders above the other Star Wars TV show output for actual quality of acting/script. Proves you can make a show in that universe without the need to stick in a load of fanboy references.
Thought Rogue Heroes was OK. Think it could have been done a lot better if it wasn't a Steven Knight show.

I quite enjoyed it! It's nothing amazing but it was half decent easy watching.
Andor has been brilliant - apart from one episode which was totally unnecessary filler (ep5 i think it was) the show has been excellent, and the recent 3 episode story arc has been absolutely top notch.
If you're really into Star Wars stuff and some of the animated shows, Tales of the Jedi was similarly brilliant.
Watched the first episode of The English last night. A western made by the BBC and starring Emily (Mary Poppins) Blunt. Although Ms Blunt is playing an English noble woman, many of the other parts are Brits/Irish playing yanks and mangling their words so much it's hard to understand what they are saying. That said, the actor playing her Pawnee scout protector is fine as the stoic male lead...and his knife throwing skills are awesome. The (Spanish) scenery and skies are stunning and I think I shall enjoy the remaining episodes. For real pedants, spot the cap badge turnaround in the first five minutes of the episode.

Maybe constantly having to break the fourth wall isn't her thing.

Thought it was shocking and the lead actor was horrendous.

Even better imo was Finnish drama Arctic Circle. About sex trafficking and a deadly virus. Excellent and the leading lady is drop dead gorgeous.
'The Walk In' - a bit depressing.
