I’m two episodes into Ray Donovan. It’s been okay so far.

There's something starting on BBC2 next Wednesday (I think) about a ship in the arctic ocean (it looks like), set in Victorian times?. Caught a glimpse of it being previewed between Only Connect and University Challenge last night. I didn't catch the name of the show and this is what annoys me on the BBC/ITV, they advertise something so far ahead, I can't set a recording or reminder for it and then tend to forget about it.

EDIT: It's "The Terror", didn't catch it last time round (2018).

Excellent, wanted to see this first time round but missed it. The follow up, Infamy, is not meant to be nearly as good but The Terror is highly rated.

No offence mate, but gritty underbelly? Pure fantasy this show. Lived here 5 years and it's the least 'gritty' place I've ever lived. Full of vegan hipsters and upper-middle class, startup culture wankers.

Neukölln, where a great deal of the show is based, certainly has a tasty scene, and that is from first hand experience... the Turkish/Kurdish gangs are certainly not to be sniffed at, they are ruthless, which is kind of the point!

Just finished ‘The Queens Gambit’, magical !

One of the very best things I've seen on Netflix. Deft.

Finished ZeroZeroZero, drug trafficking mini series (Sky Atlantic (see how easy that is....?)).

Pretty decent stuff, worth a watch.

Used to live on Sonnenallee (fairly close to Karl Marx Strasse). If you know Berlin, you'll know exactly where I'm talking about. People used to talk it up as some kind crime-ridden ghetto. It was all fairly placid. Certainly compared to when I lived in London, Palermo and Marseille.

I never thought I’d see him obsessing over twerking.

Watched Devils, on Sky Atlantic. It wasn't bad but the main character mumbles a bit.

Ive watched the first 7, not quite as good as billions but a decent enough watch.

Which begs the question, why on earth do you live there?

Haha. Good question. I work for a German TV channel based in Berlin. I'm off to the US to work in a similar role in a few weeks though.

I get why people enjoy Berlin. It's a fun place for a visit. Living here is a different matter.
