Disappointing how? I thought it was very fitting (if i remember it correctly!) Vic could never have gotten away with the stuff he had done and also showed he only looked after himself by him throwing others to the wolves to save his own neck.

I thought the ending was great myself.
Lem is dead from Shane being too greedy. Shane's downfall was horrifically tragic. Vic snaking a deal only to then drop bombshells knowing he had immunity. Ronnie getting utterly screwed by Vic literally made me angry.
He had lost his wife and kid and although he had immunity he was given a desk job - his ultimate nightmare. How did you want it to end?

Finished all of Dalziel and Pascoe and now making my way through all of the Inspector Linley Mysteries.
I much preferred the partnership between Dalziel and Pascoe.
Finding the female working class detective, with a chip on her shoulder pretty annoying and hard work.
I do enjoy recognising all the actors and actresses so I'll stick with it.

Bear S3. About 5 eps in. Stressful but also love the food shots
24 Season 5. I think this might be the first time I've properly watched this season through since it originally aired but either way, it's sloppy stuff. I know many will say 24 hasn't aged well in general but taken for what it is the other seasons still hold together well once you suspend a bit of your disbelief, but season 5 is standing out to me as really quite bad. They kill off multiple established characters for seemingly little reason, President Logan takes advice on managing multiple terrorist threats and attacks essentially from one other person (traitor alert), Jack's ability to break rules/laws then be detained then be released to go and break more rules/laws reaches stratospheric levels all while women who he's lied to fawn over him, CTU gets breached twice within hours, and there are numerous other plotholes all over the place.
It just reeks of them trying to cram far too much into a season for shock value, and while it probably worked better at the time when you were watching one episode a week, when you're watching several a day it quickly adds up to nonsense. Quite a disappointment and nowhere near as good as the previous seasons.

Finished Clipped last night. Pretty good, I was aware of the events when it happened but don't follow American sports so didn't know what the eventual outcome of it all was. After waiting a week for the final episode I still don't. A very, very poor conclusion that concludes nothing. Ed O'Neil is very good in it, giving out Trump like vibes as the thoroughly dislikeable Sterling and really makes you see it from his jaded point of view, I almost sympathised with him.
Trying The Bear again
First time i watched i couldn’t get past the fake and forced jibber jabber in the kitchen. The dinner table banter and camaraderie didn’t feel well acted either.
Second time with a different perspective and I don’t feel the same. I enjoyed the dynamics. So I’m gonna continue.
Perspective is a weird thing. I was either burnt out on shows last time, or had watched something really special in comparison. Probably the former.

Finished The Bear series 3 last night and enjoyed it as much as the first two. Though I think I have an aversion to the Jamie Lee Curtis episodes, she does my head in, which I guess is sort of the point.
Really liked the Tina episode as well
I read they filmed series 4 at the same time, so I hope it comes out sooner, but won’t get my hopes up.

Rarely seems to be done well in a show.

Seen a load recently, but here's a few I care to write about.
Blackbird - I have always avoided as I thought it was a basic prison drama. Actually turned out really good. Deserves its 8.5/10 rating on IMDB though I did find the main Jimmy character completely unlikeable.
Dark Matter - Not sure why there was loads of hype around this. I suppose Apple's marketing budget is just too high. It was a decent watch, but wasn't as serious a drama/mystery as I was expecting. I'd give somewhere between a 6 and 7 out of ten, leaning towards the latter.
The Veil - Interesting to see Elisabeth Moss in that type of role. Tried to be too much of a comedy for me when it could have had a bit more substance. I don't feel Moss was a good as Eva Green in Liaison, and shows themselves has some similarities. Neither was great. 6/10 is my rating

Justified: City Primeval
I was late watching Justified and not so long ago worked my way through series 1-6. Loved it.
With some trepidation of another decent series ruined, would watch Primeval. Enjoyed. Not as good as the original Justified; it's not irretrievably destroyed the legacy of the originals, simply different.

Its darker and lacks the humour of the originals. Situated in a completely different location so none of the previous characters feature and it suffers for it. The new characters, except for the bad guys (the chap out of Narcos was good), are dull. When the daughter showed up, I thought, God not another Bosch (annoying family member) ... Overall, it was not bad and left open for a new series.
