Lost in Space - (Netflix 2018)
Well, I'm watching it. Decently made, fairly straightforward. They're in space, they're lost marooned, there's a robot, Danger Will Robinson.
The casting is intruiging. Toby Stephens, Captain McAnguish from Black Sails, who I don't rate at all, but is a safe enough choice. Molly Parker, who you may remember from Deadwood or as Congresswoman Naughtypants from House of Cards. Nice voice, but she's knocking on a bit. Parker Posey, also supperanuated, does a reasonable turn as a manipulative Dr Smith. A forgettable gaggle of Robinsons Jnr pad it out, including a Blackmerican teen wonder-doctor, because of course.
It's not bad, and they keep it rolling along, I'm just not sure what the point of it is. Some unnecessary bullshit means it's not strictly family viewing, but it's not adult enough for adults. The lack of any 20-40 female totty is a peculiar choice, and I'm not sure the MILFs and jailbait can really carry it.
But I'm still watching... ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Legion. Season 2
Gave this a try last night having never seen it before. Trying to be a sort of Matrix spin off, but I found it quite hard to follow and remain interested in.
Gets good reviews and may be easier to follow if you've seen the first series, so I'll give it one more shot. 5/10 so far.
Wolf Creek Series 1. 9/10
Noticed series 2 starting, so watched Series 1 on catch up first as it's only 6 episodes. I really liked it, very dark and quite gripping as a thriller.
It's about a serial killer who patrols the Australian outback. Like a right bastard version of Mick Dundee. The other main character through series 1 is a good looking girl who's family get targeted by Mick the bastard, but she escapes. The rest of series 1 is her going after the killer as he goes after her, along with a few others she pisses off on the way to toughening up as the series goes on.
I watched the first episode of series 2 last night and it;s not as dark anymore. The girl has gone and Mick the bastard is targetting a coach load of tourists on an outback tour in this series. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

It's a robot-alien; because diversity; beats me; kind of.
It's a weird one. The budget is there, the acting talent is there, and it feels like there was a better version struggling to get out if they'd picked either Grimdark or Noblebright and stuck with a tone.
But it's not better, it's strictly adequate. No panache. Time-cards stamped, everyone gets union rates, and that's a wrap. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I watched a brilliant series on Netflix (one month free trial, yo).
The Defiant Ones.
It is a four part documentary. I started watching it because the ads looked like a Dr Dre / Eminem doc. Turns out that it is about Dr Dre from NWA to now, and Jimmy Iovine from being a Studio Engineer to now, and it covers lots including the meeting of the two.
Well worth a watch if you like music. I was hooked.
Started back on The Good Place (Netflix) because I loved it first time around, but they hadn't released the last couple of eps. Started from scratch cos the mrs loves a good comedy (hey, she married me... right??!?), and she is really digging it. Kristen Bell is really good in this, Ted Danson shines and there are some really good episodes. Also, highly rated on Netflix, and for good reason. ____________________ thx1138 wrote: Well if you had a car, I'd bet it would smell like urine had had drunken sex with vomit and made a poo baby.

It's... instructive as to how far you can skimp on fulfilling a premise.
The deliberate lack of a traditional antagonist is courageous.
However, there's a reason for that tradition.
If it were made to the standard of Breaking Bad, the interactions and conflict between the various protagonists would be compelling.
But they punked out on the budget, the writing and the cinematography. They put all the talent in front of the camera, but they needed more writers at the table, more pedants in the editing booth, and more shitlords calling for another take.
C+, Krysten Ritter's nostrils deserve better. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
