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
Schitt’s Creek – Season 6
The final & victory lap for a comedic masterpiece – following the fortunes of the Rose family in the town they came to own as a joke, and centering around the wedding of son David & his partner Patrick, as
Grace & Frankie – Season 6
More antics and hijinks from Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin, with a bit more winning than previous seasons I thought. Mike McKean’s cameo as a potential Frankie love interest was good. Sometimes the Robert/Sol stuff plays to type a bit
The Thick Of It
I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to complete this political tour-de-force from Armando Iannucci. Just masterful. You could potentially describe it as the 2000’s equivalent to Yes Minister, except for the fact that watching this is like being
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – Season 3
The irrepressible Midge Maisel continues her tour de force of the comedy world of 1960, securing a tour spot as opener for crooner Shy Baldwin. The storyline this season seems to have found its way a lot better than series
Silicon Valley – Season 6
The final arc for the beleaguered lads of Pied Piper Inc, rounding out with almost a victory lap of ludicrousness. A great and well-timed way to end this story, and happily we got a big serve of the utter ridiculance
The Boys
For someone who more or less doesn’t give a solitary flying fuck about superhero properties, The Boys was incredibly captivating. Almost an extension of where Mystery Men left off – this fairly cynical series featured superheroes-as-antiheroes with normal hopes, dreams,
Schitt’s Creek – Season 5
The Rose family continue their ridiculous adventures in the town of Schitt’s Creek, and each character seems to be more & more O.T.T. every time they take the screen. Pretty sure that Alexis and David are mainly trying to get
A Bit of Fry and Laurie – Seasons 3 & 4
Having been a fan of Fry & Laurie since the early 90s I couldn’t believe that I didn’t know there had been 4 seasons of their absurd sketch show, (doing the air quotes with my fingers) “A Bit of Fry
Grace and Frankie – Season 5
Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin continue to perform like the treasures they are in this dramatic sitcom about retirees who’ve had circumstance thrust upon them, and how they deal with some of the admittedly fantastical changes in their lives. Which,
