TV Series

Am currently working my way through Homeland, a series that I imagine most people have already seen, and am just over half way through Season 2.

Although the acting in the series is first-rate and the story lines have been compelling so far, the notion that al-Qaeda and Hezbollah are in cahoots has subtracted all credibility from this season for me. The only reason I am sticking with it is because the psychology of the characters makes them compelling.

It’s such a shame that an otherwise reasonably intelligent, fairly entertaining drama has got something so basic wrong.

I watched this in the last 12 months pretty much back to back. First 2 series are probably the best and the last 2 are right up there. It does dip a bit in the middle but stick with it.

Season 3 of Ozark is getting interesting. Have no idea how its gonna play out but christ they hate each other.

You won't be disappointed mate.

Thanks for the heads up. I am intending to stick with it. Aside from the fact that al-Qaeda would never collaborate with Hezbollah, as Salafi-jihadists regard Shia Muslims as apostates, it’s been pretty good so far.

In many respects it reminds me of the impressive French series, The Bureau.

Last night started What We Do In The Shadows. A spoof vampire sitcom I suppose. Quite funny, hoping it progresses on an upward curve to be funny, then really funny, then unmissable, then up there with The Wires & The Breaking Bads of this world. But I doubt it!

It’s not bad and has a great cast but the original New Zealand film was funnier imo

Been watching ‘The Oath’, a bit far fetched but very watchable.
