📺 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?
📺 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)
