📺 Shows
📺🔗 The Lincoln Lawyer - series 4 - ✅
I will need to return to finish - but in a nutshell - well worth a watch, but make sure you go through the first three before you start - it will add to your enjoyment.
★★★★
📺🔗 A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 1 ★★★
A total surprise and some great twists.
Once again - will return for the formal rating.
📺 I saw this promoted, checked out the trailer and realised I had watched it.
That is how memorable this show is … ★
Yes - yes - I did watch 📺🔗 Pluribus Season 1 .. finally - I mean it’s not a loser, but truly have a hard time understanding what everybody was raving about.
★★★
Watched - all 8 Homelands. Not in a binge I hasten to add and actually not too shabby - although Claire Danes does seem to act with 4 or 5 expressions to cover all eventualities. Suspension of belief is - as always with such shows - necessary. For all of that ★★★
📺 Hijack ★★

In 2024 I originally wrote:
What’s not to love about Idris? Ok well not always, but this surprisingly worked.
Well - at least until the final episode.
Just finished the second series - and the fact it took us so many months to work through it speaks volumes. And when I say work … I mean work.
Series 1 ★★★ – that is old star rating - but still holds …
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
Series 2 ★★
And that rating is getting applied to the whole show. VERY disappointing - they took that final episode from Series 1 - and doubled down on it!
I was tempted to 1 star it - but that wouldn’t be fair to series 1.

📺 Godless ★★★
Can’t recall why I started to watch it .. but glad I did .. very good .. and it was a while back (well last year) - despite it being from 2017 - and yet for all of that it took @mitchwagner to remind me - when he referenced it - I couldn’t even recall the name - don’t make the same mistake.
📺 The Last Frontier ★★★
A slow start that accelerate to 🤯 keeps up the pace and slows down at the end - and you are about to switch off and BOOM - Series 2 is in play.
