This caught me TOTALLY off-guard. I was quite excited to see the series kick off with Alexander Skarsgard playing “Florida Man” in an Amway-but-OBVIOUSLY-IT’S-NOT-AMWAY cult/multilevel marketing cult… and then, well, let’s say Episode 1 doesn’t finish where you suspect it’s
Halston
I’m always intrigued when a biopic gets dragged up of someone who’s been alive during my lifetime who I’ve GENUINELY NEVER HEARD OF – not that my life’s particularly tuned towards the fashion world. No idea if Ewen MacGregor’s performance/likeness
The Nevers
In summary, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!”. Seemingly a Victorian Superhero piece, transforming into unintelligible scifi bollards at the last minute. A review I read prior to getting started described it as “a mess”, and that’s certainly how it ended
Breaking Bad – Seasons 4 & 5
I finished it! I’ve been watching this fucking show since about 2010. So, this was a gripping exercise in Stockholm Syndrome… Amazing series though – SUCH a change from where it all started, and yet a plausible plot arc. The
Devils
Can we just reflect for a moment that this was described as “financial drama”? Yep, that’s a thing now apparently. Set in London but footed by Sky Atlantic Italy, it did a GREAT job of reminding us how fundamentally awesome
Mare of Easttown
So many column inches of reviews on this already. GREAT story, and so compellingly put together. Not only a torturous journey through the mundane, but it’s foolish not to note that it was Kate Winslet utterly refusing the glamour bit.
The Pursuit of Love
This was a lot. I spent a good lot of time being distracted by the fact that the story was written by one of the Mitford Sisters, which had me trying to remember the details of (that idiot) Andrew Collings’s
The Flight Attendant
I kinda went into this one without much idea what I was signing up for – but it turned into quite an engaging murder-mystery following an alcoholic flight attendant as she tried to get to the bottom of the murder
Upstairs Downstairs
We popped this on as a nostalgic re-watch of one of the shows we shared in the formative stages of our relationship – only to then find there was an entire 2nd series we’d completely missed! Well-constructed within the confines
Resurrection: Ertugrul – Season 1 (actually finished it now)
It’s been a true epic in many senses, however we finally made it through to the end of Season 1. I think I’ve come to accept that this show is fundamentally a historical-fantasy-soap-opera, and realistically the plot doesn’t tend to
