📺 Crooks
Netflix. Dubbed. Caper. Not much more to say, except I did watch it all the way through.

📺 Citadel
There are spies. A bad organization called Manticore. A mole in the good guys organization. Who knows how it will all end? OK - not a real question. But entertaining enough.

📺 One Lane Bridge
Two seasons worth. Another in the style of ‘Kiwi Scandinavian Noir’ 😁. It’s not a cracker - but good enough to watch both seasons over time. (Trust me - there are many a show I start - never finish - and a review of which you will not find in here.)

📺 The Brothers Sun
Despite writing this back in February - it didn’t. Quirky. Funny. Great Action - and Michelle Yeoh. I mean - c’mon.

📺 Criminal Record
‘Truth to Power’. Solid, gritty, Brit detective drama.

📺 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.
