Holy crap, having been massive fans of Borgen since day 1 and finding Birgitte Nyborg’s floundering around in latter seasons a bit less satisfying, we were delighted that this instalment was a blistering return to excellence. In Borgen Power &
Pieces of Her
So, I find it *really* hard watching things with Toni Collette in (and this is TOTALLY my issue) because I keep getting distracted about whether it was her that I really disliked in that Jurassic Park sequel (spoiler: it isn’t
Billions – Season 6
The fortunes of this show were always going to be interesting following the plot developments closing out the 5th season, however the show weathered that change quite well – and in fact strongly. Props to the writers for the onion-like

Trust
Watching this one’s been dragging out over months… What started as a crisp & enthralling drama based on the tale of the purported kidnapping of John Paul Getty III, the grandson of tycoon John Paul Getty (Donald Sutherland) turned into
The Good Fight – Season 4
I accidentally found my way into liking this show back in 2019 and we’d been periodically checking to see if there was any more on the way… With great delight we found Season 5 on a streaming service, and started
