Started 1883 looks very promising. What sucks is not avoiding spoilers on other media so already know a death or two :p. Still though love the genre. Also watched Rain on Netflix. There's actually a Fallout series beginning on Prime video slated for April and will be looking into that. Was highly addicted to that game for quite some time years ago. Another in a long line of games trying to transition to features so might be night and day.
Finished Loki which was like watching a Dr Who series.
Started Gen V which is good and up there with the Boys.
Revisited Uncle, Nick Helm. Love Him. Crying shame his Christmas tune has never seen the light of day. On the back of that watched Trying. I love Esther Smith.
Also rewatched Ted Lasso. Roy Kent is a great character. His relationship with Phoebe is magic.
I know I've done this before and it's not exactly a box set. And to add to that, it'll mean next to nothing to anyone overseas. But the Gary Neville 'stick top football' Youtube series is brilliant. Roy Keane is top drawer, he really loves Ian Wright. His little 'me and you' nod when Gill gives him the black card is brilliant and genuinely heartwarming.
Can't remember who flagged this one first time around. But series 2 of The Tourist is on iPLayer. First series was brilliant.
Started Ted Lasso which so far is brilliant. Love the characters and storyline so far.
Also started season 2 What If.
Finally picked back up new season of Stranger Things. Guess covid was cause of delayed season? It's an odd genre but get a kick out of listening to all the 20 yr olds at work who watch it and talk like they know how actually bitchin' the 80's were ;D
Watching Death Note which is a Manga series where a high school boy finds a book which grants him the supernatural ability to kill anyone whose name he writes in its pages.
The Japanese student uses the Death Note to carry out a worldwide massacre of individuals whom he deems immoral and to create a crime-free society.

okay the curse was weird as fuck & the last episode was truely bizarre. i don't really recommend it unless you are curious. i liked some of the camera work, shots from far away make it feel like the some of actors/ extras don't know they are being filmed if that makes sense, touches on what is real & fake in what is presented to the tv viewer, it even has a small dick storylineQuote:

The American Office is very good.Quote:

i started avatar the last airbender, the new live action show. if you liked the old anime you'll enjoy this
Watched the old ones and loved them. Live action are normally a let down so let me know if it is worth it.Quote:

Season 7 specifically was literally depressing and saw so many fans leave. 3 spin offs (tonight 4) were/are good except for the dreadful spin off "The world beyond" with all the teens from a couple years ago. But the main lead Andrew Lincoln aka Rick Grimes has been assumed "dead" and written off some 6 years ago. Well now the questions are answered. https://youtu.be/o_kTUnzp5ng
all the spinoffs have been rubbish. it was good to see rick again but the writing has really fallen off & much too convenient. spicoli, i've seen you mention the pacific & band of brothers before. you might like the new show masters of the air
I'm going to have to go back to the spin offs at some point because none have grabbed my attention. I really didn't give a shit about Maggie and Negan and only slightly more about Daryl, because it's Daryl. I've picked the show up and put it down more times than I care to remember. I'm all in now so will finish it in time.
Watch Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax | Stream free on Channel 4
Nutter, starts a relationship with an even bugger nutter. Between them they convince their kids to claim that everyone in their local community and school are satanic paedo baby killers. The whole thing blows up and becomes a magnet for even more nutters around the World. When I say magnet, I don't mean in the physical sense. That would require leaving the basement.
Just discovered Boondocks which is an animated series for adults and very funny.
Watched the first episode and it is really good. Thanks for recommending.Quote:

It doesn't stick 100 percent to the story and timeline but pretty cool to see so many small details.
Rick and Morty, little demon are very good funny animation.
Going in for the rewatch. Safe to say that the 8th and final season of GOT did reviews no favors. But it really did have some great characters. Tyrion one of the best talkers throughout.

Watching animations Rick and Morty which is very funny and Ninja Kamui which is a stereotypical anime.
Also nearly completed Fallout which is actually very good and helps having kids explain it as they play the game. Beginning to hate the 1950’s themes and designs that is throughout the show.
Finally started The Ozarks and actually getting sucked into it.
Kids always willing to school us geezers ;D. I love the retro theme and the soundtracks. Show/game franchise does a great job with displaying the cold war hysteria but same time follies and brink of all out nuclear war post WWII. It was viewed rather simplistically at the time in the States, almost cartoonish in a way, that there was meaningful life in the aftermath. We actually did "duck n cover" drills in school thinking we had a chance :-XQuote:

halt & catch fire
Already into season 3 of Breaking Bad which is very good. I am interested in the other shows of the corrupt lawyer Saul and the film Jessie Pinkman are they any good?

The character Saul Goodman is a vile and horrible man. To watch a series of him will be hard work but will watch it after I have finished the full series.Quote:

Have you seen the film on the character Jessie Pinkman?
There is a lot more to Saul Goodman and BCS explains a lot of why he is like he is. I think it is even better than BB personally. You see quite a lot of the other characters from BB that helps flesh them out and there are some great thriller / action set pieces as well as loads of black humour. The Jessie Pinkman film is an enjoyable action movie spinoff thing if you do not expect too much of it.Quote:

The new series of Slow Horses looks good.
Still making my way thru Ozarks into season 3. Wendy remains one of the most annoying female leads I can ever remember. I said it ;D
After finishing Breaking Bad, I am going to start Malcolm in the Middle because of the great acting of Bryan Cranston.
