  • Hunters Season 2 is on Prime now. Loved season 1, Season 2 really good too. Has just the right balance of sinister followed by surreal to keep me happy! (Sound of Music homage was brilliant!).
    Tried watching this a couple of times. Not my cup of tea and some of the acting is just so wooden.

  • Resident evil. Not bad however the younger versions of Jade and Billie totally outclassed the adult versions. Watchable but not riveting viewing. 
    6/10
  • Episode 3 of the last of us was a curveball to say the least but very well done, puts another dimension on that bit of the game to say the least!

    Anyone watched Mr Inbetween? Heard good things about it. 
    Yes and it’s fantastic, very darkly funny and well done, thoroughly recommend it. There is a bit of Ray in all of us, maybe just me 
    Thought it was really good.
    Have been watching person of interest, not bad. 
  • Only Murders in the building - Disney plus
    great serial killer / comedy series, the cast is great and a good little binge, done season one on Sunday, 2 seasons with the 3rd being filmed currently.

    I thought it was a quality episode, looks like they are going to stretch this season out. Getting used to Ellie now and think she is playing the part well. 
  • This series of Silent Witness is awful
  • Binged the new Netflix Series Lockwood and Co over the last couple of days. Based on the teenage fiction books, but definitely "ramped up" for TV. Basically it's Ghostbusters, set in modern day London. Pretty good watch.

  • Started watching 'Shrinking' on Apple...easy going, US comedy that I enjoyed in a 'disengage brain, open tub of sweets' kind of way.

    Oh come on, it ticks all the essential boxes. 
    Nearly every family is black, white & mixed race.
    Vast majority of the senior police are non white.
    Jack's "dumb" daughter comes into his workplace every day in order to "sign" with others and do her homework. 
    The new lad is overtly Jewish.
    He replaced the wheelchaired white lady.

    Before I get brick bats for making these comments all I am saying is they are not representative in numbers in London today. 
    Not in those numbers/ratios. 

    IE I doubt many have "dumb" kids allowed into their workplace daily to do their homework. 
    I doubt that nearly all more senior police officers are non white.
    I don't believe the vast majority of families are mixed race. 

    I'm not saying any of the above is wrong, just that the writer is paying too much attention to box ticking, meaning the programme isn't representative of every day life.

    It would be just as unrealistic if everyone was white C of E, because neither is that the case in London. 
    Dumb? Are we living in the 1950s? The terms used today are either deaf or hearing impaired. Dumb is offensive.

    Apologies, I thought she was mute, not deaf. 
  • Non-Verbal i think is the PC saying
  • does it still have a pathologist doing things that pathologists don't ever do?
  • She is deaf, not mute/non verbal

    Apologies, I'll amend then, thanks for correcting me.

    Yes and this week we've got a police inspector and her adopted son in CID, investigating the death of the natural son's ex-wife, after dismissing the pathologists from the crime scene.
    It's absolute tosh, but I still watch every week out of habit.

    Will add it to the list. Some people have it right up there as one of the best.

    I’ve started watching Severance. Very strange show but quite enjoying it so far.

    Looking at averts on the TV they are, every ad that includes a couple are mixed race.

    Not every advert, but definitely the majority, which once again is not a true reflection of society as the majority of families aren't mixed race, even if a significant minority are.
  • I finished season one of Perry Mason and thought it was decent. It was a bit slow but kept me interested. I had watched the first couple of episodes back when it was first aired two years ago but didn't continue. I was a big fan of Boardwalk Empire and recently noticed its director Tim Van Patten also directed Perry Mason so I picked it up again and enjoyed it. 

    The fourth season of Succession will be out in late March as well as Perry Mason season two. Coincidentally both of them are HBO shows. I guess I'll watch them when all episodes are aired. I'd lose interest had I waited for each episode of Perry Mason season one every week instead of binging the complete season in one go.

    I'll start Peaky Blinders (again) soon - watched the first three episodes before getting "distracted" by Twelve Monkeys😅 My mum binged all six seasons of Peaky Blinders last month and absolutely loved it. Shame there seems to be no season seven? But just a film to end the whole series?
  • That 3rd episode of The Last of Us is one of the best hours of television I've watched in a long, long time (coming from someone who's never played the game).
    Watched episode 3 last night and fully in agreement. This show is so good, I'm just completely engrossed for every single second, wondering what's coming next. As said before, I had no idea this was based on a game so have no thoughts on whether the actors portray the characters effectively, but it is amazing TV and I would urge people to watch if they can! 
  • Just watched Snow Girl on Netflix.
    Spanish 6 part crime drama.

    Had vibes of BBC series The Missing.
    good watch for fans of scandi noir
  • Just getting through the Apple+ stuff. Given the rave reviews I’ve seen, I’ve been disappointed with Ted Lasso but only two episodes in. Does it get any better?
    I was as well, doesn’t really get any better

    It's a fantastic piece of British television at its very best. You will get so invested in some of the characters. Paul Anderson is the real standout for me, amazing performance ably backed up by Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy, not to mention the late Helen McCrory... got to mention Sophie Rundle as well (She was brilliant in Jamestown too).
