📺 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.

📺 Ripley
Started slow. Continued slow. Finished Slow. And I loved it. The Black and White cinematography was superb. More in those grey tones than color could ever do. Have to say I was nervous of having a longer version of the film. No worries. Totally different.

📺 Fool Me Once
I have watched a lot of the Harlan Coban mini series on Netflix. The early ones used to be really good … and then somehow I think the way was lost. This latest, while not the best, certainly represents a turning of the order for ‘good story’.
That said .. final episode .. last 5 minutes? Yeah … No. Totally unnecessary.

📺 Ted Lasso
Just marvelous. No point in saying more, since I can’t add to all the other plaudits.

📺 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?
