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…
We signed on for the high-end culinary ultra-marathon that is Great British Menu, and once again were astonished at the variance in quality levels and kitchen skill between the different regions. Also baffling was the way in which contestants were pegged to a region – you were born in Yorkshire but you work in London,…
Cute 10-part spy-thriller pushed at me by the Netflix algorithm. It was an engaging enough story, provided you were happy to ignore the UTTERLY RIDICULOUS central plot element once it moved into view. Fun and well-put together, provided you’re not obsessed with worthiness or plausibility. And I didn’t recognise a single actor in it.
Leaving aside the fact this could’ve been edited down a lot tighter (4 hours? Really?) – Yet Another chilling story of abuse of power to facilitate serial sexual assault by a male entertainer in the 60s-90s+. Sickening number of parallels to the Savile story too: including archival footage which seems at best sinister and at…
I’ll be brutally honest and say I don’t remember specifics on this one – it’s the ongoing story of a couple of women thrust into friendship through some death & treachery, with layers of secrets at work and some ludicrous scenarios. I do enjoy watching it though, even though the plot finds itself reaching a…
Not sure what I was expecting from this: having lived a life of watching people idolise these ruthless men who go out and get what they want, along with their drinking/smoking/all wearing suits/slick hair aesthetic, I just kept coming back to the fact that… they’re all pricks! I really struggled to build any sense of…
A rewatch of Rick & Morty HAD to be done, because… well… infant to supervise, right? And when she’s a bit older I won’t be able to watch shit like this during the day. Just sublime writing. So much more to see on a rewatch.
