📺 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.
📺 Silo
Sooooooo good. Series 2 on the way, which will be a must, because this is only 1 of 2 shows I have seen recently where the finale closes the show and leaves you hanging and ready for the second. Definitely did not predict the ending.
