Feel free to have a look at
I finally watched Andor. I watched the first episode a few months back and wasn’t into it at the time. This week I rewatched it and finished the season in 3 days. It’s so good.
My wife had the idea to watch Evil together. It’s weird and often awkward and cheesy, but I can’t stop watching it. I know she regrets what she started. No quitting allowed though. Three more seasons to go.
Picked up “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”. It’s the start of a new story so you don’t have to be hip to all the others. Good watch.
They have a really cool commentary feature where the image is shrunk to a 4:3 image so they can split it top and bottom.
The top image is the film as presented, the bottom image is the raw footage before visual effects were applied.
It lets you see how much of the film was digital and how much was practical. Complete with commentary.
Saw The Wild Robot at sneak peek at my local cinema. Was a surprise, but really charming
British series called The Responder with Martin Freeman.
- Kaos - I’ve only seen the first ep so far, but it looks to have promise.
- Le Bureau de Legendes - this French spy series has a slow and meandering start but picks up over a couple of episodes and the initial time with the characters pays off.
- Pine Gap - After the first couple of episodes, I’m struggling to care about the characters - and am caring a LOT about the absurd lack of a Faraday cage around the main building which would have prevented the main plot point in the first place. It is only miniseries, but I doubt that we’ll finish it unless it picks up a lot and gives me a reason to get my disbelief suspended again.
- Slow Horses - the third of the spy tales that we are following at the moment and by far the most fun and engaging. Season 4 is as good as ever, and Oldman’s Lamb is wonderful.
- Carol and the End of the World - a low key, introspective little exploration of self-discovery and where you find value and it’s really quite charming.
