📺 The Gulf
Coincidentally found myself living on/in ‘The Gulf’ when I discovered the show, so watched it with a little bit of a ’travelogue’ perspective. 😁 One of those dark Kiwi shows - they seem to be emulating ’Scandinavian Noir’ - if that is a term. If it isn’t, it should be. Great show.

📺 Gray
Arguably formulaic - but something about it kept me hooked. And ‘Cornelia’, don’t you love that name? If you like this genre - it is well worth a watch.

📺 Ripley
Started slow. Continued slow. Finished Slow. And I loved it. The Black and White cinematography was superb. More in those grey tones than color could ever do. Have to say I was nervous of having a longer version of the film. No worries. Totally different.

📺 Fool Me Once
I have watched a lot of the Harlan Coban mini series on Netflix. The early ones used to be really good … and then somehow I think the way was lost. This latest, while not the best, certainly represents a turning of the order for ‘good story’.
That said .. final episode .. last 5 minutes? Yeah … No. Totally unnecessary.

📺 Ted Lasso
Just marvelous. No point in saying more, since I can’t add to all the other plaudits.

📺 The Morning Show
It took me a while to finally get round to watching .. but when I did … well .. I was in. I liked how they wove in current events … would love to know exactly how soon after those events were happening that it appeared on the stream.
Overall thought it very good. Did my life change after watching it? No.
Here have been some zingers I saw on series 3 … forget about them … just watch it. It’s television for goodness sake.
📺 The Umbrella Academy
I certainly didn’t dislike .. but somehow it didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat .. some characters entertaining .. some not …. Story? Meh. Still, I did get to the end ..if we have indeed reached the end. Who knows?
📺 Lupin
Didn’t know what to expect when I stumbled across it … but now with Series 3 behind me, I guess it gets a ‘thumbs up’ from this bear.
Check out Lupin on Reelgood. See where it’s streaming and more!
📺 Shantaram
I adored the books .. and was waiting for this to come for a long time. I really liked each episode, but it didn’t keep me riveted, which in turn meant it took a long time. Is that bad?
