📽️ 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.

📽️ Better Call Saul

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 talked about The Atlantic who …

published a series examining it through a Shakespearean tragedy lens and making the argument that the ultimate main character wasn’t Walter, or Jesse, but Skyler.

I just started series 3 of ‘Saul’. Oh my. Tragedy? I don’t know my Shakespeare as well as I could, but Saul has to be a contender. The character is heartbreaking. The relationship with his brother makes me tear up.

I love the back story of Breaking Bad and the various characters emerging that eventually appeared in Breaking Bad.

Superb series.

📽️ 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.

📽️ Cunk on Earth - I watched the first ten minutes on Netflix.

Added to the top of the watch list.

Oooooh … Peaky 6

‘Peaky Blinders’ Production Company Working With Bushmills On A Themed Whiskey

No discussion of what it actually tastes like!

📽️ Ozark IV

Now that opening I did not expect.

I watched the first two seasons of Peaky Blinders a while back, Finally got round to Seasons 3 to 5 - not disappointed.

After such a binge - time to switch to something completely different.

Jack Irish!

“I thought you finished watching Peaky came the voice from the kitchen.”

I had - the two shows happened to choose the same Nick Cave song as it’s theme.

🎵 In my mind - not surprising, but Apple is doing a great job with music;

  • 1971
  • McCartney 3, 2, 1
  • Mark Ronson’s ‘Watch The Sound’

All really excellent.
