@Crucial working my way through my long list

Bovidae

Finished off S4 of What We Do in the Shadows. Still plenty of laughs but some episodes are better than others. They do manage to continue with the cameo appearances.

It has always been a bit hot and cold, especially as the writers come up with more and more crazy scenarios to keep the premise alive. I quite liked the way Colin Robinson 'died' then grew again as a concept. Thought that was clever.

Good review of The Rings of Power.

Kiwiwomble

a weird one...The Witcher...i really like it and think cavill does a great job...announced over the weekend he's not coming back for season 4, and is being replaced with Liam Hemsworth...will watch...at least theyve picked a big dude...and there is enough footage for him just to try and copy cavill....but generally im not a fan of re casting

Bovidae

S3 has yet to air so it is strange timing to announce this now.

Kiwiwomble

@Bovidae yeah, thought the same, i do think i heard they were going straight into filming S4 as both had been green lit so would have come out pretty quick

edit: sounds like known super nerd cavill may have fallen out with some of the writers or at least not been a fan of what they were writing

The Resort
Okay, yeah - kinda enjoyed this.
Just the right mix of whimsy and cynicism.
Some mystery, I guess? But not really. Storyline wasn't really the highlight, it mostly came down to the characters.
Maybe the first half of the series - storyline was a factor? But 2nd half... pure character-driven. And yeah - just a nicely balanced cocktail of angst, whimsy, dementia, heartbreak, youthful hope, blah, blah, fucking blah.

Tit-watch: zero.
Twist-watch: average.

4 wacky-latino-characters out of 5 semi-wacky-gringo-characters.

Bones

@Kruse yeah I shouldn't have liked it, but I did - just kept me coming back. Looking forward to next season...

taniwharugby

@Bones a 2nd season? While I largely enjoyed it (ending was weak) not sure I'll be in for a 2nd season.

I'll cancel our date night then.

Yeah - thinking about it this morning.... the ending was "weak" - but I also kinda respected that.
With "time travel" being involved... there's always the temptation/expectation for some kind of "twist".
Which - they didn't do. (Or... did they?)

##spoiler
The kid exhibiting the same symptoms of "memory-leak"... does that just mean that it is a common side-effect of Pasaje? OR... is he a child version of the crazy-santa guy... who "later" actually travels back in time? Would be one explanation for the 'prescient scene' in the mural.
##endspoiler

I will be back for S2. I can see it going quite well, or quite wrong. If they try TOO much to be TOO clever, they might fuck it up. But... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now, give it a go, and see what they do with it.

voodoo

I never for a second thought they'd do S2 of The Resort!

HBO has canceled “Westworld” after four seasons, the network announced Friday. The news comes just under three months after the series aired its Season 4 finale Aug. 14.

Variety is told a multitude of factors went into the decision to end the sci-drama, including the production’s hefty price tag, combined with dwindling viewership and an ongoing evaluation of programming across the board at HBO’s new parent, Warner Bros. Discovery.

The Ipcress File

The remake, not original.

Joe Cole & Lucy Boynton

A bit of a slow burner, 6 eps only. Enjoyable, but not gripping and just lacked something.

scribe

SAS Rogue Heroes. BBC 6 episodes. The story of how David Stirling formed the SAS during the Nth Africa Campaign in WW2.

Made by the guys who did Peaky Blinders.

Very entertaining. Good soundtrack. Well cast. 4.5 tonnes of sand in my orifice out of 5 don’t fuck with me’s

Catogrande

@taniwharugby

I felt the Ipcress File got the 60s London vibe down pretty well. Joe Cole was good and Lucy Boynton was smoking.

taniwharugby

@Catogrande yeah I thought Cole was very good, as I said, I enjoyed it, but was def not fast paced.

Kiwiwomble

any watched "Walker"? the texas ranger remake?

##spoiler
will finish the 3rd season....but im not sure i like any of the characters....and "walker" seems to exclusively work on cases to do with his family...throw them all in jail and crime in austin is cut in half
