📺 The Lincoln Lawyer
One of those shows that was originally a movie .. so you don’t bother. On this one, I eventually gave in and just finished the second series, so I guess good .. right? Right.

📺 The Last Thing He Told Me
Not ‘unentertaining’ (is that even a word?).
I did get to the end .. which doesn’t always happen, even though ‘the why’ I got pretty much immediately.

📺 Kaleidoscope
I remember a news item a few months ago about a series on one of the streaming services that plays the episodes in a random order for each viewer. Clever I thought, a non linear show played on a linear format, moved on and promptly forgot about it.
I just finished it. Really, really good. Arguably made so much better by the lead actor .. Giancarlo Esposito .. but seriously, no duds. Highly recommend it.
(Side note .. I didn’t even clock that the show was the one I had read about until the very end.)

📺 3 Body Problem
I didn’t dislike it .. I just didn’t care about the people. I mean .. ok and all that, but I think the title is the most interesting thing.

📺 The Fixer
2015 .. Season One .. doesn’t seem to be a Season Two. Probably says something. Probably would agree with that something.

🎈178/366 📺 Blackbird
Why it took me so long to watch Blackbird I have no idea. But oh so good.

📺 Turn Up Charlie
Just like 🖇️ Loot .. not one to dislike … and likely more a passion project for the only reason I watched it ( a while back now) .. Idris.
But I do like to occasionally log some older stuff .. cos we don’t all watch everything at the time do we … so you still need to know.. right? Wrong?
Or do you?

There should be a rating between Like and Dislike. In the end I went for like .. because in all honesty I couldn’t really ‘dislike’ … but no .. NOT a recommendation. I wonder if they were trying to go for that Ted Lasso feel good thing? No idea .. but whatever that Ted Lasso feel good thing is … it was not this. LATER: Get despite that initial review of the first couple of series … here I am again on the third.
📺 Sugar
Stunning .. great job from Colin F .. but the homage to ‘noir’ yet modern, the direction, the cinematography, the colors, the lights, the nuance … everything. Just so good.
I have read that people loved the mid season ‘twist’ …if we are talking last scene in episode 6 .. yeah no .. I had that scene in my head for a couple of episodes prior, so no twist for me. In fact, it happened to coincide with when I thought the show had finished .. and I 🖇️ even posted that I was very disappointed with the ending (EEJIT I am).
Anyway .. all this to say … loved it. If you have 🍎 📺, whatever else you are watching stop - and go take a look.

📺 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.
