From (2022, on HBO Max) - 8/10

It's a mystery/horror story about a city, that entraps people, and they're trying to figure out how to get out and what is going on. I finished the first season and so far so good.

EDIT: Finished the second season, still alright. And apparently the same writer/s who worked on the LOST series also worked on this one. That's why it feels so familiar.

The horror of Delores Roach.

Comedy drama/horror on Amazon Prime

Newly released from prison Delores starts a massage business in the basement of a pals struggling Empanada eatery. Gets bloody apparently but ive only watched the first two episodes so far but its got me booked in for episode 3 as the script is good and the characters engaging.

^^ This Dolores Roach thing is some mad-ass series ^^

I love fuckin love Noo Yorkers, I even loved Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems (and I fuckin hate Adam Sandler).

... but this is a bit more basket-case than even I was expecting

Its very daft.
Funny, gory, manic ...

"Ohhhh shit ...! ... The 5-0 comin'!"

Ridiculously hilariously excellently daft. Mad-as

EDIT: Finished it. Jesus that was barking

Hannibal, Netflix (quite old)

Not noticed Mads Mikklesen in much else before.
He has that same knack as Christoph Woltz (and Steve Buscemi) of being crazy whilst appearing perfectly sane.

Painkiller (2023, on Netflix) - 7/10

A short series about the American opioid epidemic. It's a drama inspired by real events about the origins of the epidemic, causes, also the victims of the epidemic, investigation and how the system works/ed.

Also, it's been awhile since I saw Matthew Broderick in anything.

Been a while since I've been through it but I've started again on Blake's 7...

Jeez, I really didn't remember it being so harsh. A key resistance fighter goes through re-education program, remaining resistance fighters try and bring him back into the fold then all get massacred. The man in question gets put away on trumped up kiddy fiddling changes.

Epstein Island anyone?

vaguely remember the show from when it was on tv. i was a bit young at the time to care for the plot too much.

Currently engrossed in MANIFEST on Netflix.

Plane on the way back from Jamaica to New York goes missing (ostensibly in the Bermuda Triangle) for 5 years and then shows up, and all the people on the flight feel like nothing happened except a bit of an electrical storm, so they haven't aged but their friends and fam have given them up for lost.

Weird shit starts to happen and the FBI get busy.
Not bad, but only two seasons.
I'm halfway through season 1.


EDIT: Hmmm, not recommending the end of season 2 so much, its all gone a bit daft now Shame, the first season was really pretty good.

The thing I'm finding with watching Blake's 7 is it's so terrible (with regards to production quality) it's almost like reading a book in that your imagination has to do the work. You get more appreciation for concepts in the story.

I rewatched Blakes 7 a couple of years back and really enjoyed it
Yep the sets, effects n stuff are dated, but after a while it didn't bother me.
Still far better than some of the pretty but weak/woke shite on now

Expanse and few others being noteable exceptions.

Beforeigners ( 7.8 imdb) is Norwegian sci fi series worth a watch IMO
it does have subtitles though which can put some folk off

Another Norwegian TV series I liked was Norsemen (7.7 imdb)
Pretty funny I thought.
No subs needed as they did every scene in Norwegian then English

Lillyhammer (7.9 imdb) is another Norwegian comedy/drama series
worth mentioning too
might need subs for norwegian parts though

I found these when tired of the formulaic US stuff and wanted a change

I've recently watched season 1 of Foundation and thought it was pretty damn good.
Anyone who's read the Asimov books may well moan about it and possibly with some justification, but as I read them feckin years ago and can't recall shit about the details, it was kind of new to me and allowed to enjoy it without comparing it.

I look forward to season 2

Foundation has absolutely nothing to do with Asimovs stories other than general ideas and themes. None the less I'm awaiting eposide 9 of season 2.
