🔗 Bob on The Responder

.. reminding me that I somehow watched the first two episodes ( I think on Prime) .. and never went further, since we are in the Acorn camp - not Britbox. (Should I swap?)

📽️ Not a bad show - but like Bob says;

“The Responder” is dark. There are no characters you can identify with, root for. If you want an uplifting show, “The Responder” is not for you.

One correction to Bob’s review - it is not set in Scotland - it is in Liverpool. But yes … gritty.

🎈154/366 Remember a while back there was this series called Sugar and there was a bit of a debate around - ‘well I did not see that coming’ at the end of Episode 6.

I have been in and out of another show that is absolutely nowhere near as good. Nowhere near. BUT … at the end of Episode 6 there is a 🤯 that I definitely did NOT see coming. Suddenly viewing the plot through very different eyes.

Is ‘Episode 6’ the new black?

📽️ I have been watching ‘Sugar’ - and impressed throughout. Great job. Until last night - the final episode - and I was so upset. LIKE - DUH - we all knew that - but what about everything else? It was all so up in the air. VERY disappointed.

Today I go an alert that Episode 7 was coming May 10th

🤦‍♂️ … of course the bloody thing hadn’t finished - they are doing the one a week drop thing!

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.
