TV Series

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

I'm watching - yet again - another season of Gold Rush. I can't help myself, LOL.
===
That said... it's hard to believe that the scenes filmed are real life - they're obviously staged, over-dramatized, and made for TV.

The gold weigh scenes - for example. No way in hell that this occurs for real. And no way that everyone in camp who's important is not already aware of the gold total.

And then there's the commercials. Fucking My Pillow Guy still advertising. Fuck off Lindell. No one wants your pillows or your sandals.

Wasn’t it always? I can’t honestly say I watched one single episode in full, if any.

I think the first series was a bit of a novelty. Then it just became a show for fame-whores (contestants and hosts). Its utter shite and probably a big player in people being famous for nothing and resultingly why a lot of TV is complete wank.

Not really a series as such, but just watched the first of the Wes Anderson shorts on Netflix, "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar". I suspect as with most (all?) of his films, these will fall into the marmite category. Personally I'm a big fan.

I watched this a few days ago. I was annoyed when it ended. Really enjoyed it.

just finished watching series 1 of the Australian series, Mr Inbetween

It’s definitely watchable and seems to have lots of rave reviews but I’m finding it a bit boring.

Does it get better or is it more of the same?

I haven't seen that one yet but I watched the swan, complete and utterly waste of time.

Yes watched that this afternoon, not one of his better ones I'll grant you

A repugnant bullying racist simpleton is fair

... who died of a sudden progressive cancer, leaving her kids behind.

As much as I didn't warm to her, she was a clear product of her upbringing.

Her mother wasn't great.

Watched the first couple of the new Brassics, fantastic as ever.

Finally got around to the 'Ahsoka' finale.

It's not the action sequences, they're fine (kind of); it's Rosario Dawson. She's, clearly, not versed in dance and it shows in her movement.

The far shot stand-ins made things palatable (well done Famuyiwa).

Dawson needs, minimum, 6 months training.

Aargh!
