My favourite character was Colin, hope he returns in season 2 big grin

I'm confused. Is this a test? Hey Bill, do you remember a character named Colin?


Zabel - he was ace!

My lovely plasma telly went kaput & I'm waiting for a new one (not plasma alas). There's the last episode of Mad Men season 8 to watch. I have been watching (on my laptop) Upstart Crow, a comedy about the life of Shakespeare, it's just great, I don't know if it's been shown in the US.

¿Quién Mató a Sara? (Who Killed Sara?) S1+2

If you ever wanted to experience your frontal cortex melting in real time, just watch this horrendously written, horribly acted, hilariously trashy telenovela from Netflix that capitalizes on every regressive cliché and trope about Latin America you can imagine.

Sky Rojo (Red Sky) Ep. 1+2

Basically: whores on the lam from their pimp. The usual grindhouse violence, exploitation, neon lighting and loud music. Been there, seen that. Besides, Miguel Ángel Silvestre hasn't taken his clothes off yet to make further viewing worth the while.

Loki Ep. 1

I don't know what the big deal is. Just watered down Terry Gilliam that's neither particularly amusing nor dramatically compelling. Hiddelston is one note and his co-stars are all just exposition mouthpieces.

"I watched it again last summer, during confinement. I notice that the YT upload has blotted out the tits. Are there tits in the actual Shout Factory release? Infantile minds demand to know"
--------------------------
Hey Graham, I watched this ep on YouTube last week (via Bygone Days) and the t!ts were on full view (and they didn't look cold, despite the saying).
It got me thinking, who would you rather...the disloyal, cheating wife, or the loyal (until you lock her in a room and betray her) sexed-up witch?

It was pretty dated now, but still fun to watch. Some of the music reminded me of Pino Donaggio at times. And I wonder if the main film composer guy in the show was based on Hans Zimmer...his music sounded very similar wink

It was Prunella Gee, Bill.
Yeah, she was a bit wishy washy, middle-class England.
No match for that dirty strumpet of a witch! wink

I've just learned the witch actress was the suzzy wearing maid in ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and she's done other kinky, off-beat stuff.
Well Well...I never knew that!
"Come 'Ere Me Loverrrrrr" wink

Hack's - HBO MAX

Am enjoy this fun show starring Jean Smart as an aging but still popular and successful comedian Deborah Vance, who highlights a nightly comedy show at a posh Las Vegas casino. However she is introduced to a young, talented but very vocal and problematic writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) who is in desperate need of a job, so she becomes her writing assistant. Of course the 2 do NOT hit if off at all, as Smart's character is more than a little arrogant and rough around the edges and Ava is too smart and arrogant in her own right.

The show deftly balances humor with a biting critique of show business in general and the comedy drama in particular. But it is fun and moves along deftly in 30 min episodes and what is very surprising is of course not in how the two become begrudgingly good friends but it's how the show develops the characters as dimensional and interesting and believable. It's not a constant barrage of snarky comments like most comedy shows tend to be.

A thoroughly enjoyable show

8 / 10

We finished The Man In The High Castle, and overall, we liked it. It was different.

Watched season one of Katla, an Icelandic series about strange things that emerge from a volcano. It was pretty slow at times, but it kept my attention.

We are now binge watching The Queen's Gambit and really liking it.

Rewatching The Sopranos which i saw maybe 8 years ago or more and really enjoyed. Luckily, i have no memory of any of it, so it's like watching it for the first time. It's very good.

Very good!!!!? Its probably in top 5 tv programmes of all time. wink

What i love about rewatching it is you expect certain characters to get whacked but you cannot remember their demise until it happens.

GODZILLA SINGULAR POINT - Most innovative product that came out of this franchise since Shin-Godzilla in 2016. Mystery, monsters, time "travel", fun characters and great visual style with a superb soundtrack on top... highly recommended. Now on Netflix or on https://animixplay.to/v1/godzilla-singular-point

Loki

Episode 3 is 42 minutes of tedium and filler. Not a good sign when the other two episodes have also felt overlong and understuffed. This one also has a poor actress as Sylvie, Hiddleston not landing the humour or being able to act drunk, and everything takes place on what looks like a Mandalorian set. But the music is still great.

Wild Bill.

Entertaining series about a former American police chief (Rob Lowe) who was sacked for police brutality, and is forced to take the only job he can find -- in a constabulary in a crime-ridden English city.

I was never a fan of any of Lowe's 80s teen flicks, but he's very good in this series, whose "fish out of water" puts a nice twist on the usual crime drama.

El Inocente Eps. 1-3

Courtesy of Netflix, another convoluted Spanish murder mystery whose plot turns on impeccably timed coincidence, fanciful contrivance, and the convenient ineptitude of all the players involved. Only watching because Fernando Velázquez is scoring.

Loki Ep.2

Lifeless direction absent any visual flair, with tedious, expository writing devoid of any cleverness or wit, discharged by a cast of cheerless dullards, all of which makes for exceedingly BORING viewing. Couldn't care less about the music score.

At this rate I'm not particularly inclined to continue.
