📺 Safe House
Meh. Look carefully you will see I didn’t dislike it. Equally, I didn’t like. I liked the premise - each series an entirely different cast, set of characters - even the Safe House itself was a different house (and yes - I did watch both) … but still. MEH.

📺 A Man In Full
It was only when I got to the end that I discovered it was a series that emerged from a Tom Wolfe novel. This is no ‘Bonfire’ though. Jeff did a good job - but really, not much of a story. The only surprise was the ending. No spoilers - but it wasn’t what I expected - but now you know it is Wolfe - maybe it will be?

📺 Baby Reindeer
Well - I didn’t see that coming. What a ride. Not for the light hearted. Not for everyone - but loved it. Every little weird bit. Want a proper review - 🔗 try this one

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

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.
