Bugger. Been carefullly avoiding 🍎📺 for the past three weeks and accidentally clicked in last night and boom .. three episodes of Slow Horses later … and now I have to wait!
📺 Kleo
Each episode kept me coming back for more. An increasingly difficult thing to do in theses ‘streaming times’.

📺 Presumed Innocent
Another in that 🖇️ theme of ‘TV shows that were movies’. Just watched the last. Unusually for me, not as a binge - but week by week - and loved it.
📺 Hijack (includes a very light ‘spoiler’ alert)
What’s not to love about Idris? Ok well not always, but this surprisingly worked.
Well - at least until the final episode.
Do you remember the old (60 years old!) movie with Spencer Tracy - It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World? I liked the movie - but the images that find their way to the top of my memory is generally large groups of cast members randomly gathered together on a golf green, in a cab, looking in a hole … I mean for that movie - which was a great ensemble cast - total sense, not too mention that I bet that each star was guaranteed a certain amount of screen time … and this is one way to get round that.
Anyway, back to the plot. Watch the final episode of Hijack and tell me those scenes don’t come to your mind.
And yes - all the usual happy ever after, plane saved with seconds to spare, it was all about the money - etc etc

About that ‘spoiler alert’ - really - did you expect a different ending?
📺 The Lincoln Lawyer
One of those shows that was originally a movie .. so you don’t bother. On this one, I eventually gave in and just finished the second series, so I guess good .. right? Right.

📺 The Last Thing He Told Me
Not ‘unentertaining’ (is that even a word?).
I did get to the end .. which doesn’t always happen, even though ‘the why’ I got pretty much immediately.

📺 Kaleidoscope
I remember a news item a few months ago about a series on one of the streaming services that plays the episodes in a random order for each viewer. Clever I thought, a non linear show played on a linear format, moved on and promptly forgot about it.
I just finished it. Really, really good. Arguably made so much better by the lead actor .. Giancarlo Esposito .. but seriously, no duds. Highly recommend it.
(Side note .. I didn’t even clock that the show was the one I had read about until the very end.)

📺 3 Body Problem
I didn’t dislike it .. I just didn’t care about the people. I mean .. ok and all that, but I think the title is the most interesting thing.

📺 The Fixer
2015 .. Season One .. doesn’t seem to be a Season Two. Probably says something. Probably would agree with that something.

🎈178/366 📺 Blackbird
Why it took me so long to watch Blackbird I have no idea. But oh so good.
