Can we just reflect for a moment that this was described as “financial drama”? Yep, that’s a thing now apparently. Set in London but footed by Sky Atlantic Italy, it did a GREAT job of reminding us how fundamentally awesome
Mare of Easttown
So many column inches of reviews on this already. GREAT story, and so compellingly put together. Not only a torturous journey through the mundane, but it’s foolish not to note that it was Kate Winslet utterly refusing the glamour bit.
The Pursuit of Love
This was a lot. I spent a good lot of time being distracted by the fact that the story was written by one of the Mitford Sisters, which had me trying to remember the details of (that idiot) Andrew Collings’s
The Flight Attendant
I kinda went into this one without much idea what I was signing up for – but it turned into quite an engaging murder-mystery following an alcoholic flight attendant as she tried to get to the bottom of the murder
Upstairs Downstairs
We popped this on as a nostalgic re-watch of one of the shows we shared in the formative stages of our relationship – only to then find there was an entire 2nd series we’d completely missed! Well-constructed within the confines
Resurrection: Ertugrul – Season 1 (actually finished it now)
It’s been a true epic in many senses, however we finally made it through to the end of Season 1. I think I’ve come to accept that this show is fundamentally a historical-fantasy-soap-opera, and realistically the plot doesn’t tend to
Brave New World
This forces me to confess I haven’t read the Aldous Huxley book… but SURELY it doesn’t have all that fucking in it. Does it? Hmm. ANYWAY – it sorta teeters on the bullshittish for a long way, before tipping right
Prodigal Son
I think we bailed on this after 5 episodes, which I feel’s a reasonable tilt at it. In truth I think we picked this up for the wrong reasons – i.e. that it had Michael Sheen attached to it. Son
Humans – Season 3
Tricky bridging season with a bunch of half-sucked plotlines, which I’m relieved they managed to resolve all of. At least it was a relief to see a story concluded before turning into more post-Sopranos character-interaction based endless TV.
Homeland – Season 8
The final chapter in Carrie Matheson’s Crazy Adventures, in which Claire Danes has buried the image of the impish smile from Romeo+Juliet & replaced it with a kind of gorilla-like gurning… but then, I guess the content’s rather different. It
