This one was a do-over – we started it back when The Child was born but after about 4 episodes realised that neither of us had the brain power to follow wtf was happening or who all those people were. Well-worth sticking with though as Ryan et al uncover a decades-old plot centering around some…
Really compelling post-apocalyptic zombie-esque nightmare that had us hooked & on the edge of our seats. I very much enjoyed the vibe of a zombie construct but explained to be caused by a fungal colonisation (leading to different rules), and was a little disappointed to learn that this show was based on a video game…
This one was a big undertaking: but a 7-season journey allowed for some sweeping plot arcs as well as some good episodic TV. Fabulous cast inhabiting some really strong characters in this: I’d actually watched a lot of the spinoff season, The Good Fight, some time ago and so this was in element some completism…
I was drawn to this by Armando Ianucci’s involvement, and intrigued by Hugh Laurie’s presence (plus supporting case – Zach Woods, Rebecca Front, and Josh Gad as a low-rent Jack Black). While the first couple of episodes struggled to figure out what they wanted to be I felt like this was settling into being quite…
God, they’re all awful, aren’t they? We weren’t doing the weekly-watch and so missed out on the week-by-week popular intrigue (remember back in the past when we used to work in offices and this sort of thing was called “watercooler chat”?). It worries me a bit how this show was wildly popular in the UK…
Well, this was unusual – initially a very oddly positioned seemingly-sitcom about an ex-veteran now turned hitman, who gets engaged by some comically bad criminals to perform an assassination only to get himself accidentally enrolled in an acting class and want to give up the hitman life. I mean, as premises go this is not…
Genuinely interesting bit of sci-fi/drama of the sort where the episode starts a long way from where it finishes, and just when you think you know what it’s about another plot element is revealed. Coupled with being a properly decent bit of William Gibson-esque cyberspace/virtual reality type content actualised by the tech of today, and…
Sure, it’s never gonna be “original Henson”, but this Muppet spinoff was the first post-buyout iteration I actively *liked* – a real return to the Muppets just “being fun” rather than being funny. The celeb cameos all felt a lot more “knowing” than in the old days, and some of those references were a little…
Decent drama about 2 best friends, and by the end of it you can understand how everything’s gotten to the way it has. Pretty emotional stuff, and decent TV.
More Star Wars universe IP-mining. I don’t see why everyone’s so into this. I mean, he looks cool – but probably the most interesting thing about the show is the amount of analysis and speculation it’s generated about whether Mandalorians == Space Jews. I don’t understand the issues enough to comment, and don’t have a…
