Just watched episode 6 or Arcane and the thing just gets better and better. It really is one of the best things I've watched in some time. Brilliant stuff.

Got 3 months of apple Tv with my new TV, so have spent time working though the Long Way Up, Round and Down shows. Thoroughly enjoyed them all.

Watched a couple of episodes of the tourist. Started ok, but it's a bit meh. Full of plot contrivances and roll eyes moments. Watchable just about.

Finished Millennium and although I loved all 3, I thought that "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", was by far the best.
I'm now curious to see the films (the originals and not the American ones) and read the books.
I've heard so much about them but for some reason just never got around to them.

On season 2 of Succession. Really enjoying it

Watched another episode of the tourist. This is really limping along now. There is just zero chemistry between the two leads. They have an annoying relationship that goes round in circles. About to ditch this now. Poor.
Isnt the tv series just extended versions of the films anyway?

Probably but to be honest, I think I'll prefer the books.
There's a handful of TV shows I wish I could wipe my memory of entirely, and then start them all over again so that I could experience them fresh all over again, and this is one of them.
My wife's a bit of a pain for sticking with TV shows if she's not immediately hooked on them, so currently:
- Trying to get her to watch Boardwalk Empire though I've seen it through when it first came out. I'd like to re-watch it.
- Trying to get her in to Succession, but she's dropped off after 4 or 5 episodes.
- Netflix show called "Hit & Run". Got to try and get her to finish the last few episodes of this.
- Code: 404. Makes her laugh. Most likely to finish this first.
What I watch when she's not around:
- Hard Knocks - Indianapolis Colts.
- Book of Bobba Fett
- Just finished Ted Lasso - Really enjoyed that.
- Blue Bloods - Guilty pleasure. Quality Selleck.
- Pennyworth. Quite like the weird dynamic going on in that show.

I remember a friend of mine telling me, that there were some people who loved Breaking Bad so much, that they were getting hypnotherapy!
It is one of my most favorite shows but I wouldn't go that far!
I really enjoyed Afterlife, this is from someone who pretty much doesn't like Gervais and his style but the show hit all the right notes. I never did go back and watch the 2nd but now knowing there is a third, will get back onto this.
My wife’s watching “Stay Close” on Netflix, and I feel that the 35-40 minutes of it that I suffered before cracking and going to the kitchen to read a book entitles me to critique it.
Of course, this is only my opinion, I can’t express anyone else’s, but it’s the most boring steaming pile of ordure since Jeremy Kyle was allowed to sully our screens.
I was initially encouraged to watch it when I saw that Cush Jumbo was in the cast, you may not be familiar with her but she put in a great performance in “The Good Wife” as Lucca Quinn, an attorney in a Chicago law firm, then segued into the same part in “The Good Fight.”
A couple of months back I noticed her in “Vera”, the Northumberland detective bore fest that my wife watches on Sunday evenings, at two hours plus I can’t take it without dozing off.
I thought, ‘Jeez, she’s too good for this, I hope it’s not a sign of things going downhill for her.’
Then lo and behold, she turns up in this lemon, recommended by our nutty niece.
Minus one out of ten for me.

I'm sure this will be too low brow for most people on here to admit to, but I recently watched the new quiz on 4 with Jimmy Carr called I literally just told you. Best new quiz in ages and had me in stitches. Episode 2 being the highlight.
