📺 Who Is Erin Carter?
It’s one of ‘those’ Netflix shows. Pot Boiler. Not riveting, but I didn’t give up. It was fine.
📺 Secret Invasion
… and while we are on the topic of ‘🖇️ back stories’ of movie franchises … it’s got Samuel J - so definitely not bad - but also not the greatest.
📺 Obi-Wan Kenobi
Historically not been a big watcher of the Star Wars franchise. Sure I have watched them - but not ‘religiously’ - so expert in the story arc I am not. That said - I really like the back story series that they have been producing. (Even 🖇️ Boba Fett - despite my review at the time and definitely 🖇️ The Mandalorian)
📺 Wire In The Blood
We’ve been watching Wire In The Blood off and on for over a year now and last night hit the final episode. Set in roughly the same geography as Vera - though doesn’t show the beauty in the way Vera did - a superb show. All six series are on Acorn - but with each episode 90 minutes or so - coupled with the subject matter - I do not recommend a binge. Definitely worth a watch.
📺 Happy Valley
Finished the third series this past week. One of those ‘little’ shows from blighty that I do enjoy. Not sure if it was me, the soundtrack balance seemed off … OR … those Yorkshire accents have got a little thicker. Either way, if you are a fan of those off beat English murder mysteries … give it a whirl.
📺 Silo
Sooooooo good. Series 2 on the way, which will be a must, because this is only 1 of 2 shows I have seen recently where the finale closes the show and leaves you hanging and ready for the second. Definitely did not predict the ending.
📺 No - Just No.
Started them all - gave up. Save your time. You are welcome.
📺 The Night Manager
It’s an oldie - but a goldie. Do NOT miss it.
📺 Drops of God
We mainly watched because Jax seems to watch everything and anything that is ‘Wine’. I didn’t not like the idea of watching it … and - subtitles - in three languages? I was prepared - I thought.
But I wasn’t.
Just a wonderful 8 episode series and no - you don’t need to know anything about wine to enjoy it …
📺 The Man In The High Castle
Because I have not been logging movies and shows for very long, there is a backlog that I have no intention of working on, other than when it is relevant. This show came to mind as I wrote this review.
I enjoyed it enough to watch all 4 seasons, but I found each season a little more laborious than the previous. That said .. the first season was stunning. How they pulled 4 seasons out of one book I don’t know … maybe time to revisit he written word?
