I've decided to finally get round to Umbrella Academy, and I can see that its designed to make me interested in watching it ... but ...
... I just havent got round to falling for it yet.
I probably will but I'm a bit busy right now and I haven't got a spare couple of hours to bingewatch it. ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power... the ring-a-ling-a-ding-dongs
Apparently Amazon have bet the farm on this production and regardless of the very strange Rotten Tomatoes score I don't think anyone would say they've skimped! Very easy on the eye.
The Right-Wing press have been banging on about "Black Elves?! WTF dude?" and I'd have to admit seeing a medieval style village populated by... diverse peoples is a bit jarring but TBH it has very little impact on the production. Get over yerselves, White Supremacists
Anyhoo, it does drag a bit and it's no Peter Jackson effort but I'd say it's worth a watch. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's worth splashing out on Amazon Prime specifically for this though.
Word of warning: Morfydd Clark (Galadriel) has the acting ability of a plank of wood so just try and power through those bits, everybody else is fine (particularly the dwarves that play to the style of the Hobbit trilogy.) She is the main character but there's a lot else going on.
Is it Game of Thrones? (Ignoring the last season, obvs.) Not even close but it's not as bad as the slating you'll see in the reviews. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

From what I recall: one out of place villager, just odd. One black dwarf but not technically anyone important - just a miner/surveyor that married into the right family; regardless, actress comes over as 100% dwarf. One mixed race elf who ticked every other box: beautiful, cold, comes across a bit Hugo Boss S.S. And Lenny but we were all briefed on that way ahead of time.
Thing is I thought all the "race swapped" characters were represented well (poor choice of words, I mean the acting was good!) as in only their skin colour was technically wrong whereas Galadriel the only thing they got right was the skin colour. I hope the bitch gets eaten by a cave troll but we know that can't happen ![Sad](images/smiles/icon_sad.gif) ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

They've made a series out of Russian Doll
I love that.
Gets a bit repetitive but it has a fair few comic moments. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Watching "Alice" on Netflix, almost makes me want to learn Korean! I think it's meant to be a serious Sci-Fi drama but I get vibes of '70s British comedy with some of the characters Also a bit low on diversity from a colour-swatch perspective but I've managed to power through it ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Well I finished watching Russian Doll which was *completely* bizarre, but I loved it.
The plan was to finish that and then finish Better Call Saul, which I really need to finish.
But I've been waylaid by *sigh* The Crown ... ... again. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
