📺 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?
📺 Who Is Erin Carter?
It’s one of ‘those’ Netflix shows. Pot Boiler. Not riveting, but I didn’t give up. It was fine.
📺 Secret Invasion
… and while we are on the topic of ‘🖇️ back stories’ of movie franchises … it’s got Samuel J - so definitely not bad - but also not the greatest.
📺 Obi-Wan Kenobi
Historically not been a big watcher of the Star Wars franchise. Sure I have watched them - but not ‘religiously’ - so expert in the story arc I am not. That said - I really like the back story series that they have been producing. (Even 🖇️ Boba Fett - despite my review at the time and definitely 🖇️ The Mandalorian)
📺 Wire In The Blood
We’ve been watching Wire In The Blood off and on for over a year now and last night hit the final episode. Set in roughly the same geography as Vera - though doesn’t show the beauty in the way Vera did - a superb show. All six series are on Acorn - but with each episode 90 minutes or so - coupled with the subject matter - I do not recommend a binge. Definitely worth a watch.
📺 Happy Valley
Finished the third series this past week. One of those ‘little’ shows from blighty that I do enjoy. Not sure if it was me, the soundtrack balance seemed off … OR … those Yorkshire accents have got a little thicker. Either way, if you are a fan of those off beat English murder mysteries … give it a whirl.
