Started watching a new series on Netflix. First episode definitely has me hooked ,,, though it seemed that I knew the plot. So, looked it up. Of course I knew the plot. It was a movie from a 5(?) years ago. A very good movie actually. But different as it was, the connections were tight - even down to the directorial style. It was if the TV dude was emulating the Film dude … 🤦‍♂️ similar! Identical. It was the same director - Guy Ritchie - I do love me some ‘Guy’.

Turns out that he made the movie and then turned around and said - right them let’s do a TV show. It’s going to be good. 📽️ 🎬 The Gentlemen

Watched first episode of 📽️ The Brothers Sun last night. I am worried - surely it can only get worse at this point?

📽️ Finally steadily working my way through ‘The Morning Show’ .. review forthcoming at some point in the future - but meanwhile - a track that got played on last night’s episode …

Gorgeous. So of course I had to look it up …

📽️ Billy Crudup is so good.

📽️ Serpico is 50 years old? How did that happen?

It started out as a stroll and then before you knew it ….

Meanwhile - if you know the 📽️ TV show ‘My Life Is Murder’ - with Lucy Lawless - this is the little café that is often featured.

The view in the direction that they often show.

The view with a 180 degree shift.

📽️ I’m not saying Charlie Brooker always gets things right … but he does get some of his stuff so very right.

📽️ Beef

Anyone tried it?

Half way through first episode … already not feeling good about it and after the last two EPIC fails I am seeking to preempt a hat trick.

Back when I posted about how great Breaking Bad was … let me paraphrase @pratik … “if you though that was good - wait till you try Better Call Saul”.

Then @GramrgednAngel@zirk.us …

📽️ Cunk was so good, that I had to go remind myself of this short piece from Charlie Brooker. It was done years ago, was my first exposure to him and has to be a timeless classic.
