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 layers of screwing-over that went on in this season.
I think I got a bit confused here, as there’s been loads of media rhetoric about the Steve Coogan-led dramatisation of the Savile story: and that’s what I was interested in. It’s probably no coincidence therefore that Netflix have been pimping out this documentary to capitalise on the story’s current profile. Once started, of course,…
I’m not one of the legion of fans who devoured the Lee Childs books – my only exposure to Reacher really has been the Tom Cruise film. Seasoned by the mouth-agape review of my mate Rodney, who just couldn’t get over the fact that they’d cast a 5’6″ actor as the 6’5″ Jack Reacher. This…
This felt like Maisel back in form after wandering a bit – albeit getting plenty more value out of the supporting characters too, especially Abe Weissman and Moishe Maisel. The plot arc shows The Plan starting to turn to doubt rather than events getting in the way of The Plan. And, I think it’s setting…
Intriguing, this one – I had a look at the first one of these ages ago because of the concept (space/scifi comedy, helmed by Seth McFarlane), and found the whole thing a bit desperate. However one of the blokes at work suggested sticking with it – and I’m kinda glad I did! By about 5…
Thanks again, Disney, for force-feeding me more bullshit. Take one of the best, most ruthless, understated characters from the Star Wars universe, build the fanbase’s expectation & excitement, and then reveal that the bloke underneath is a smug boomer who’s generally *just* a little bit too pleased with himself. Throw in a load of stupid…
For some reason our TV was suddenly inundated with Harlan Coben stories, so we picked this one on the strength of the casting – it seemed quite a decent mystery piece whose episodes left you wondering deliciously what this show was actually going to be about. Maybe a little far fetched with a couple of…
We kinda mainlined the remainder of this: a weirdly compelling show considering how frigging appalling all of the people in it are. Srsly, there’s barely a redeeming feature among them. It’s TOTALLY irrelevant that one of the main characters was played by an actor (Sarah Snook) who it turns out is from Adelaide, and went…
We didn’t make it all the way through season 2 – merely 66 episodes through the 103 that make it up – but it’s such a big part of my TV enjoying experience that it rates a mention. This season’s definitely upped the ante from the first one. We’ve had a couple of the dramatis…
This documentary-of-the-decade was far too good to bother with my usual collection of sentences here. So I wrote a whole post, instead. 👍👍👍
