Magpie Murders on Britbox
Clever mystery with a plot revolving around a book plot. Time shifting keeps you thinking but not too much - perfect winter evening viewing. No boobs though. 8/10.

Just finished season one Peacemaker. Did not take itself seriously and was fun throughout, actually enjoyed watching John Cena throughout for a change in this role. Not sure if it was all CGI or whether two actors actually turned up, as didnt watch credits, but great justice league crossover for one joke
No plot spoliers though, ok just a little
4 alien butterflies out of 5 klan members

Finished Reacher, good fun watch eh, keeps ya interested despite the ridiculousness.
Just one question. Is he a good shooter or a bad shooter? Baffling consistency with a handgun.
Good shooters become terrible shooters if they’re shooting at bad guys who are needed for next season.
Case in point Negan from the walking dead. Everyone missed him.

Only 3 alien butterflies out 5 Klan members for me. Good fun show, but maybe the overhyping in some quarters, contributes to my lower rating of it.
You mean were the actors on set or did they film their scenes elsewhere?

Is that bloody show still going and is Negan still around?

Don’t know and don’t care. I gave up after his constant survival.
Damn shame, the first few seasons were awesome viewing.

No seriously I mean, were they CGI generated? or were they real (on set or elsewhere), i didnt see the credits, so dont know if they were real

I'd suggest it's much cheaper to pay an actor than to CGI them, plus if they were CGI then the other two would have spoken as well.

For those interested Slow Horses is premiering on Apple TV+ on 1 April.
Slow Horses - as in Slough House?
If so... awesome. For some reason, that feels like something Apple could make a good job of (said through gritted teeth, I fucking hate Apple, but they've done some good telly). -

Ozark
Finished watching Pt 1 of S4, so only 7 more episodes to go whenever Pt 2 airs. This is one of the best Netflix shows in recent years. Julia Garner is just brilliant as Ruth.
Garner was truly exceptional in last episode. Another Emmy beckons.
I SO want Wendy to come a cropper!
Ruth really got stroppy didn’t she ?
Cool hearing this banger at the end too

@kruse Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas in the cast bodes well.
Didn't Gary Oldman do Smiley recently too? Typecasting himself a bit in his later years.
Although, has he changed his body shape for each part? Going from Smiley to Jackson Lamb in a few years... that'd take some pies. -
@bones I finished last night, enjoyable series, most of the fight scenes you could give some latitude that they were believable, only one I thought was BS was the one in the house and the beat down he took the tyre iron from the weedy little dude...
Is Reacher meant to be on the spectrum? I liked his dead pan one liners but some made me wonder.

My memory of the books:
- Early on, there was lots of mention of him doing irrelevant maths and shit in his head whenever he saw a number. Oh, a key with the number "700" on it? Well, 700 is a nice round number, a multiple of 100, most people would say. Reacher: oh 700... a sum of 4 consecutive prime numbers: 167 + 173 + 179 + 181. It's prime factors are 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 7. A Harshad number in base 10. Another 4 or 5 lines of Fucking maths blah maths blah fucking.
- That kinda dried up fairly quickly though
- In a later book, there was mention of him being part of a psychological experiment, or testing - without his awareness - where he tested in the top 1% or some bullshit of some particular traits, like... going into full-on attack mode instantly.
So yeah - possibly "on the spectrum"... but quite subtly.
(Shit... Lee Child, Reacher, "Subtle" - in the same vicinity?) -

Yeah that was quite annoying eh. All of a sudden he was ridiculously weak and couldn't hit a wall if it was in front of him.

Stumbled across Bel Air on TVNZ on demand the other night and next thing ya know I've watched 4 episodes.
Pretty much a more detailed, less comedic version of the fresh prince many of us grew up with but set in modern times. Uncle Phil def not as large as I remembered him.
