TV Series

There's a marked difference in The Last Kingdom (BBC series) and The Last Kingdom (Netflix series) basically it got bigger funding, bigger battles, bigger scope and much darker in tone once Netflix took over.
I didn't know that and Mrs and I are casually watching it, but is it for the better? (I thought I was going out of my head thinking it was advertised on BBC years ago)
 
Star Trek Strange New Worlds - just started watching this on Paramount +. Fantastic series (2 episodes in) and my favorite new TV series.
 
Me and the Mrs found and watched True Detective series 1 a few weeks ago. Absolutely brilliant.

Skipped series 2 and 3 and went straight to series 4. What have I just seen ffs! What a crock. Its supposed to be about detectives but it was woke saturated, virtue signalling, shallow, corny, racist, sexist, boring relationships drama with no actual relationship to the original series. I found myself waiting and waiting for the actual story to re-emerge from all the mental breakdowns and people finding themselves.

Some good performances though, but some bad characters, not sure what they were thinking but it doesnt to seem to have been the art of making good TV.
 
Watched Both seasons of Severance.

S2 was very weird but I enjoyed all of it.

The final episode reminded me of the final episode of The Prisoner, so bizarre.
 
Watched the first two episodes of Murderbot.
Think it's a load of shit up to now, does it get any better?

I was thinking of watching it, but not sure now. I did hear it started on the slow side.
It's okay. Definitely not for everyone though and not a patch on the books.
 
Just reading a book on Kenneth Noye from Donal Mcintyre. Fascinating read with him going on the run after the Stephen Lawrence road rage murder.
Noye had nothing to do with the killing of Stephen Lawrence.
I think your getting victims mixed up.
 
Finished Dept Q last night, loved it. Some great characters in there.

Cliche after cliche after cliche - many times i went "oh come on!" - and yet, still, one of the best binge TV watches in years for me, fills the void until Slow Horses.

we do all have different tastes though - some people think Afterlife is brilliant <:O)
