Waiting for March 15 tbh, and the return of Westworld. Something else, that show.
Good or odd?Just watched the new Endeavour, was very ood.
Currently mid-way through series 3 of The Leftovers. Every few episodes I think I'm ready to call it off for being a bit confined as well as supremely gruelling and depressing...only to give it one more episode... I've ended up almost obsessed with it, not the plot, but the characters, performances and themes. A very impressive show that undergoes noticable changes in setting, emphasis, presentation... takes a bunch of chances, left turns, constantly threatening to totally overwhelm the viewer, then seeming to ease off, only to come back fresher and harder with another way of exploring the universal theme of the inescapable and desperate cost of being a human in an unfeeling universe that deals out loss and abandonment like it's nothing. Last nights was possibly the best I've seen so far, suddenly shifting to a wonderfully realised Australian outback setting following Roy Schieder, who is simply as good as it gets on any screen anywhere, only for Lindsay Duncan to pop up as a Guest star at the last minute and turn in a show stealing appearace.
Final ever episode of Power was pretty good as an ending 8/10 overall as a series which classes it as a must watch.
I said to the wife as long as Tariq isn't the shooter I'll be ok with it all, fucking pissed off now
