Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut)

If there’s something I really don’t need in my life it’s more frigging Monty Python documentary. I’ve been watching/reading Python docos pretty much since I’ve known about the Pythons.  While watching this I realised that with the bulk of their

The Muppets

This was the ABC network’s “contemporary” take on using the Muppet characters in a mockumentary behind-the-scenes-on-a-variety-show setting… which is kinda weird, because that’s fundamentally what The Muppet Show was about. So what the hell’s different here?  And, missing.  The key

This Country

I got introduced into the one by Tom at work, who it eventually transpired had never actually watched it. No idea what that says about anything. Real-life siblings Daisy May and Charlie Cooper head up this show as Kerrie and

Staged – Season 2

How could you top the sublime first season? Well, by revealing that the whole thing was in fact a scripted work – and that there are discussions afoot for a US remake… only now there are other actors being considered

Staged

Sublime 6-part filmed-in-lockdown piece starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen.  Watching these two at play is just a pleasure, and the storyline doesn’t even really matter – except that it’s really well-constructed little story about rehearsing a play. Wonderful (if,

We were really taken by this series with a sensibility of The Good Place, alongside the tech/scifi concepts of Black Mirror, with a hint of Season 1 West World thrown in. It’s a solid watch with some good character development

Run

Sweet/amusing-enough story about ppl approaching middle-age activating a youth-sealed pact to ease the drudgery in their lives, which takes a turn for the more sinister once it’s got its hooks in you. I found the appearance of Phoebe Waller-Bridge playing
