Just watched The Lego Movie earlier tonight. I went into it thinking it’s just a kids’ movie, probably not much for substance. But I was pleasantly surprised! For what’s essentially a giant ad for Lego, the movie has no business being actually that good. 10/10, thoroughly enjoyed it.
I started watching Twin Peaks this week. It’s been in my backlog for ages but a podcaster I like mentioned it and I decided to jump it to the front of the queue. I’ve only just finished season 1 but I like it a lot. It has a lot of the surreal vibes that David Lynch is so good at. Kyle MacLachlan character is very fun
Absolutely excellent show. Don’t forget to slip Fire Walk With Me between season 2 and 3!
I’m unfamiliar. Is that like a film or special? Can you explain what it is without spoilers?
I watched “Dark Matter” on apple-tv. Expected lame-ass speudo-science bullshit-bingo with bad acting but got a short series with some surprises, interesting takes, smooth story-telling and only little bad acting :D
Would give it a 7 out of 10 and would recommend if you are into easy-to-follow sciency drama stuff.
Been rewatching it from the start again. Currently on S5. It’s pretty much made all other sci-fi (certainly that set in space) redundant for me. Everything else looks naff and amateurish.
The audiobooks narrated by Jefferson Mays are a treat too, and we get the complete, rich story at the end that they tried to squeeze in and hint at but couldn’t do right in the series (IMO).
The second season of The Alienist, because its leaving Netflix and I watched season 1 ages ago. I really enjoyed the focus on the female detective (Dakota Fanning) standing her ground in a man’s world.
And HBO Documentary The Janes about the Chicago underground womens network that helped thousands of desperate women to safe abortions before Roe v Wade. Especially in todays political climate an impressive watch.
Shetland, almost the whole season 6. One episode left for later, and 2 seasons overall.
Love British crime shows.
