Your Honor (Showtime)
Bryan Cranston plays the main character , a judge with a very tricky moral dilemma. Harps back a bit to Breaking Bad , perhaps a little too much for my liking. I think it could have been a lot tighter and stronger over fewer episodes as you know where it's going from very early on. I quite liked the ending although apparently a lot of people didn't! 7/10

Calls (Apple TV +)
9 short episodes (maybe 15 minutes each) with quite an original idea of displaying calls between various persons using soundwave graphics. You are being asked to use your imagination a lot and that is a very powerful tool. I would recommend treating this as a 'film' and just watch the whole thing in one go. Genuinely very creepy and emotional at times. I didn't understand the end though so I should perhaps take my own advice and re-watch the whole thing in one sitting. 8/10

Roadkill (Starring Hugh Laurie) A very short 4 episode British mini-series. They could have and should have made this a longer 8 or 10 episode series and upped the intrigue. All the elements were there. An enjoyable watch nevertheless. 7/10

Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Mosaic (HBO 6 episode mini series)
came out in 2018 but only just hit my radar. Sharon Stone stars in this deep psychological drama with a bunch of interesting characters. I liked it a lot and binged it over 3 nights. Solid 8/10. |

I managed about 10 minutes and that was enough, yet another drama with a bunch of English actors straight out of RADA not even remotely feeling like 'real' characters. I think I've got the hump with Netflix although I did very much enjoy The Lost Pirate Kingdom , a mini docu drama series that was very interesting and informative. However once I finish Breaking Bad I could well be done as it will be an age before Stanger Things 4 arrives!

Watching the British drama series "Unforgotten" and it is spellbinding! No trick props or effects, just superlative CAST acting of the highest order, always perfectly scripted as if a sculpture of suspense that engulfs you completely and emotionally. The climaxes are gripping and clever. Wow!

Chernobyl was amazing. I picked it up on DVD. Best thing I have watched in a long time.

I agree, that was one thing I was impressed about Shadow and Bone, very well made with nice SFX....the fold is awesome! |

Shadow and Bone was a really good and well made fantasy series that took itself and its audience serios, I saw it as well, enjoyd it very much and just started watching Josh Weedons the Never, its promising and shows Weedons love for steam punk and Dickensian charm, many cool characters, got that Firefly curiousness.
Also finnished Roadkillstarring Hugh Laurie, very gripping and tense political sceme series, sadly no plans for seccond season. |

I agree, Carmichael is a great character. I'm not sure what Mercurio could have done with "H" - who could it have been that would really make you go "wow"?

I'm intrigued with Patricia Carmichael's character so that's a big maybe. I think Jed Mercurio boxed himself into a corner with the whole season and there was never going to be a big 'reveal' . He teased us a bit that it may be Hastings but that would have lacked credibility. In the end it was an enjoyable ride but lacked the tension I was looking for.

Wife and I just finished binge watching Shadow and Bone. She was into it from the start, it took me till the 3rd episode to really get into it. Could be we started at like 9PM and made it to episode 6 at 2AM, finished it the next morning.
Really hoping for a 2nd season very soon but I suspect it will be 2022. Hoping it does not go the way of The Messiah which Netflix cancelled more seasons. There are 3 books in the Shadow and Bone story, so a good chance it continues. |

Up till the last episode I would have disagreed - there were some definite OMG moments and it was all building up to a great climax then Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey, it turned out to be the numpty. When they showed who was being taken into the interview room after they sussed out who was making the spelling mistake (why didn't they do that earlier?) my wife and I both said "oh, it's him" in a disappointed voice. We need a series 7.
