📺 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.
📺 No - Just No.
Started them all - gave up. Save your time. You are welcome.
📺 The Night Manager
It’s an oldie - but a goldie. Do NOT miss it.
📺 Drops of God
We mainly watched because Jax seems to watch everything and anything that is ‘Wine’. I didn’t not like the idea of watching it … and - subtitles - in three languages? I was prepared - I thought.
But I wasn’t.
Just a wonderful 8 episode series and no - you don’t need to know anything about wine to enjoy it …
📺 The Man In The High Castle
Because I have not been logging movies and shows for very long, there is a backlog that I have no intention of working on, other than when it is relevant. This show came to mind as I wrote this review.
I enjoyed it enough to watch all 4 seasons, but I found each season a little more laborious than the previous. That said .. the first season was stunning. How they pulled 4 seasons out of one book I don’t know … maybe time to revisit he written word?
📺 The Diplomat
It seemed be like ’all the others except it had ’Saul Goodman’s brother in it .. oh and ’John Smith’ from ’The Man In The High Castle’ … So why not give it a whirl? And it was-just fine, really, just fine … until the last 5 minutes of the final episode. Clearly there is a second season on the way, my biggest complaint … did they really need an entire season for the set up?
📺 Dalgliesh
If you are a Vera, Midsommer, Shetland, Morse fan .. You can safely add this one to your list.
📺 Brokenwood
Just discovered series 9 … And yes I did watch series 1 to 8. They aren’t all a home run, but a solid, dependable show. My favorite character sadly disappeared after a couple of series.
Each show can be watched in its own right … there is an over all arc to the series .. but, it’s not necessary to enjoy and episode if you just want to dip in.
📺 Cowboy Bebop
Watched it ‘back then’ - reminded of it watching this and realized that I hadn’t added it. Fixed. ( I wouldn’t have bothered if it wasn’t worth it.)
📺 The Mandalorian
Just finished the third series. Most excellent. It even has ’Gus Fring in it🤪 On a more serious note, I do like the back stories that have been developed and released in the Star Wars and Marvel franchises. The special effects may not be as good, but the stories are far more engaging.
