Thanks again, Disney, for force-feeding me more bullshit. Take one of the best, most ruthless, understated characters from the Star Wars universe, build the fanbase’s expectation & excitement, and then reveal that the bloke underneath is a smug boomer who’s
Diriliş: Ertuğrul – Season 2
We didn’t make it all the way through season 2 – merely 66 episodes through the 103 that make it up – but it’s such a big part of my TV enjoying experience that it rates a mention. This season’s
The Handmaid’s Tale – Season 4
Torture Porn epic The Handmaid’s Tale continues – with this season feeling a bit more focused and balancing more towards storyline rather than seeming like a university psychology experiment. There were still plenty of moments I felt like screaming, “FFS
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
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
Diriliş: Ertuğrul – Season 1

The Mandalorian – Season 2
It’s weird, isn’t it? As a kid you see a character in a film and think “I’d like to know more about them”. Then – years later – someone puts together a series that gives you a load more detail
Killing Eve – Season 3
Hmm, seems I forgot to write anything about the first 2 seasons of this, also. Conflicted on this one – season 3 felt like it had some really confused/stationary moments… but at the same time there’s something incredibly compelling about
Good Omens
Thoroughly good fun screen adaptation of the Pratchett/Gaiman story of Aziraphale and Crowley – a pairing of functionary angel & demon who’ve worked together since the time of creation to make their lives easier and achieve better results. What’s great
Game of Thrones – Season 1 to 7
Having suffered through Season 8 we decided to make sure we weren’t being nostalgic or rose-tinty about our glasses, etc. and so for the third time (I think) we started all the way back at episode 1 of series 1
