Finally got around to watching Sky Castle, a K-drama from 2019 on Netflix. This is consistently ranked as the #1 K-drama, ahead of such classics that I all rate extremely high: Crash Landing On You, Reply 1988, Mr. Sunshine, Goblin (aka Guardian: The Great and Lonely God), Mr. Queen, When the Camellias Bloom, etc.
It's really good. It's tonally similar to the film Parasite, which came out a few months later; both remind me of classic Chabrol at his class-conscious Hitchcockian best. The main villain reminds me of Iago from Shakespeare's Othello - an almost Satanic character using human nature against itself.

The Righteous Gemstones Season 2 9 episodes
really went downhill badly, losing the plot literally and few laughs 4/10 Inventing Anna 8 episodes Excellent performances from Ozarks Julia Garner in the title role and Anna Chumsky (Veep) as the reporter who investigates the mysterious Russian socialite making a splash in New York high society and business. Always a good sign when I binge anything! 8/10 Reacher 8 episodes Well made but maybe a bit too brutal even for my taste at times and never felt remotely realistic at any time. 6/10 The Servant Season 3 10 episodes Wonderfully silly but creepy stuff from M Night Shyamalan. All credit to Lauren Ambrose's committed performance that keeps this just about on track. 7/10 Currently enjoying Picard Season 2 (fans of the Expanse watch this!) Peaky Blinders Final Season (will be missed) Severance (creepy Patricia Arquette!) Upload (quirky end of life virtual reality drama/comedy) Anticipating the final season of Better Caul Saul, finally the Breaking Bad sequel catches up ( I assume) |

Just finished series 2 of Raised by Wolves. Whilst series 1 started well, it got a bit messy later on. However, this series starts well and stays good throughout. Lots more to come as there is a lot unresolved - in fact there are some really weird events going on and it's full of mystery and intrigue.
Also up to episode 4 of the final series of Peaky Blinders. I loved Peaky Blinders, but this series is a big let down for me. There isn't actually much going on and I'd go as far to say it's really gone up its own arse - too many lingering shots, ineffective music without any substance, it all just seems so ridiculous and convoluted now. I understand the final episode will be feature length as a practice for a spin-off movie. I just hope it improves - a lot. 4 episodes in to Series 3 of Servant. Still dead weird and no wiser as to actually what is going on. Good though.

I finished the latest season of Star Trek: Discovery, found it quite blah.
The one I am enjoying is season two of Raised by Wolves, but I’m not at the end yet. Edited by Logan - March 22 2022 at 11:03 |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

The scene between Lenny Bruce & Midge at the end was absolutely great!

Just finished seasons 1 and 2 of The Expanse. So far I'm enjoying this very much. Season 1 would be 8/10, season 2 maybe 9/10. In my next Amazon order for dog treats, I'm planning on adding seasons 3 and 4 on Blu-Ray to get the free shipping.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Comedy drama set in the late 50's. Abe, the father, is hilarious.
Inventing Anna. Somewhat based on a true story. SNL recently did a skit about Anna. |

All done with A Discovery of Witches, 3 series in total. The final series felt like they were just going through the motions to get it done; and only 7 episodes. For all 3 series: 7/10
Completed Se02 of Upload too. I think this is another of those shows possibly affected by Covid as it felt rushed (only 7 eps) and it finished with obviously a lot more to come. 8/10

Fear The Walking Dead Season 6 2020 16 episodes
I wouldn't normally review something like this that's been going for so long but I think the writers and actors do a splendid job and the finale of S6 is scarily relevant to current events. Will say no more! 9/10

Cowboy Bebop 2021 10 episodes
An interesting live-action adaption of a Japanese anime series starring John Cho. I enjoyed it a lot in spite (or even because?!) of some truly nasty brutal violence. I thought the characters were well drawn and plenty of visual flair on offer with set pieces. 8/10

^ I'm about 4 episodes in, a lot of fun. (Slightly concerned though about how thin John Goodman looks, hope he's okay).

The Fear Index 2022 4 episodes (made by Sky TV)
Set in Geneva and based on a Robert Harris book apparently, this is a twisty tasty little thriller that kept me guessing most of the way. Josh Hartnett stars as a tech billionaire that has seemingly invented the ultimate computer program for playing the stock market. However unfolding events in his personal life are not doing him any favours and his increasing paranoia about a break in at his home takes him down a dark path. Overall nice and easy to watch (get the popcorn out) and Hartnett is very good indeed. 8/10
