TV Series

This morning watched all 4 episodes of something called The Game. It was a channel 5 drama. Now I know I must be mad as I think I've never ever seen a decent drama on channel 5. It was, as expected, absolutely rubbish. It also confirmed to me what a poor actors both Jason Watkins and Robson Green are.

It was an odd story made in an odd way. I don’t mind Jason Watkins but he’s quite lightweight and the fight at the end reminded me of Family Guy when Herbert the Pervert fought Franz the Nazi. Robson Green reminds me now of the old fella from Benidorm, Mel.

Channel 5 is no worse than ITV in my opinion, probably has better documentaries. They seem to like doing remakes and Dalgliesh isn’t too bad.

I’m watching Murder Before Evensong which seems to capture the late eighties quite well apart and seems well written.

All rather plodding though.

Finished Brassic this morning.

Don't like being a sheep but have to agree with every other review I've seen and say that the final series was a bit of a let down. Maybe not quite as bad as some were saying but definitely ran out of ideas. The fact it was only six episodes and half of the main characters couldn't be arsed making themselves available to film the final episode, probably suggests that the cast were getting as bored as the viewers.

Having said that, judging it over the full 50 episode run as a whole, it was great fun.

Not normally my kind of show but still really enjoying Only Murders in the Building.

Yes. Same as me.
Thought season 5 wasn’t the best though. Was pretty boring the story but Martin and Short are always good value.

Next season will be in the UK apparently.
So I suspect that means London and it will be actors with very posh accents that will be cast as the guest stars.

I’ll guess now at someone like Hugh Bonneville, Colin Firth, Daniel Radcliffe… (throw in as well a Sir or Dame).
 
3 episodes deep into the beast in me. Very good so far.

I'm gripped, refreshingly no clue where its all heading just yet unlike so many shows lately that are so predictable and qmade specifically to be watched as background viewing alongside doom scrolling on a phone.
 
Bit of a random thought I've just had here at work after a a couple of episodes of the excellent 'Family Guy' came on the TV.

As well as 'Family Guy', you've got 'The Simpsons', 'American Dad', 'South Park', 'King of the Hill'. And that's just what's immediately come into my head. I'm sure there's loads more.

But all American. I've been trying to think of any UK equivalent and I'm getting nothing. Not even some some shit attempt.

I wonder why this is?

Started C4’s The Veil last night and watched three episodes.
Decent watch apart from Elizabeth Moss’ fake English accent.

It gets increasingly daft but is nonetheless fairly enjoyable hokum. I'm looking forward to a time when Elizabeth Moss appears in something without doing her Ofred face.
