Been to see the new Indiana Jones movie? Binged a great series? What have you been watching, and should we watch it too?

We finished 24 season 2 last week and needed a bit of a palate cleanser, so stuck on Black Mirror season 6!

Joan is Awful was pretty good, but absolutely loved Loch Henry. Will probably crack on with that tonight.

We’re switching from Virgin to Sky later this month (hopefully) so we’ll actually have a wealth of TV shows to watch, including:

  • Barry
  • The Last of Us
  • Succession
  • Chernobyl

Open to suggestions!

24 was a pretty good series overall. I remember somewhere around season 4/5 maybe, the writers were told off for starting story threads that just got lost in the events of a season and never resolved.

It’s a banger up until Season 5.

Season 6 is basically all the plots from 1-5 recycled. Redemption (the TV movie) was a great little diversion. Season 7 was pretty good, as was 8. Never finished Live Another Day. Didn’t bother with Legacy.

Loch Henry felt like such a return to more traditional black mirror for me. Without spoiling too much:

The bleakness at the end and the very on point message about how technology is used in today’s world

was fantastic

I just finished Silo a few days ago on Apple. I’m a huge fan of the books, getting so engrossed in them that I read the entire series in a week. And the TV show was a very good adaption. It had big Fallout vault vibes. I thought the ending in particular was fantastic. I highly recommend it!

I’ve just started dipping into Poker Face, I’ve been watching it on Now. Natasha Lyonne (imo) is always watchable, even if she’s basically always playing a version of herself. I’m really enjoying it, quite Columbo-esque, with a different murder to solve in each episode, there’s some really entertainment characters and set ups as she works her way through small town America like a foul mouthed Littlest Hobo.

The Bear series one. Can only do a bit at a time though. The editing hurts my heart.

Haha same! It’s just a bunch of assholes shouting at each other constantly, and jarringly edited. Somehow enjoying it in a ‘cant stop staring’ kind of way.

Since ditching Netflix due to their household change, I’ve been working my way through the other streaming services. One thing I used Netflix for a lot was for their Korean content. Imagine my surprise to discover that Disney+ actually has a small but decent catalogue. Currently watching ‘The Zone’ and it is a pretty decent K-Variety show.

Closer to home, I’m continuing my rewatch of Dr. Who leading up to New New Who starting in November. I’m following a guide online to remind me of which episodes that are worth skipping. I’ve seen them all before, so no big miss to skip some that I didn’t enjoy that much.

Haha. Dr. Who is a very patchy show to watch. You never know if it’s going to be a camp sci-fi romp for the family or someone shovelling hot diarrhea down your throat for 27 minutes.
