Godfather of Harlem (Season 2) Crime / Drama 9/10 Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) continues to makes his way in Harlem during the 1960's. We finally got around to watching the second season. An excellent series. |

Yep think I came to a similar conclusion. It's worth pointing out that for those that haven't seen Breaking Bad , there are no spoilers in Better Call Saul (given that its a prequel) . I only started watching Breaking Bad about 4 seasons into Better Call Saul but it all ties in well and helps explain how Jimmy became Saul.

I enjoyed that a lot and reviewed it way back. In this vein I would also recommend the Aussie supernatural drama Glitch that ran 3 seasons and had a proper ending.

Final season of Better Call Saul. I finished it last night. Quite sad that it's finished, but I suppose it had to end sometime. There were no real surprises at the end and seemed a fitting (and justified) conclusion. Overall 9/10, this season 8/10

The Girl in the Mirror (aka Alma) on Netflix.
This is a Spanish teen coming of age story mixed with supernatural qualities. A certain bus crash early on reminded me of another supernatural story and in both, spoilers, the dead can come back. I'm thinking of Les Revenants (One of my fave shows of the past decade), which I do think better than Alma, but they are ultimately very different. Alma is a very attractive show, and a bit silly at times, I think. I expect that there will be a season two, and will be disappointed if there isn't. Enjoyable. Right after that I started on another supernatural mystery story with Les Revenants qualities on Netflix called Katla. It takes place in Iceland and is beautiful to watch (terrific cinematography). Really enjoying this so far. |

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.

Blackbird 2022 6 episodes
Based on the true story of convicted drug dealer Jimmy Keene (played by Taron Egerton) who is offered a deal by the FBI to be transferred to a high security prison to befriend child rapist/killer Larry Hall in order to obtain details of where the bodies are buried. For this, if successful they will commute his sentence to time served and he will be released. There are also notable performances from Paul Walter Hauser as Larry Hall and Ray Liotta (one of his last) as Big Jim Keene. High on quality but not an easy watch. 9/10

We just finished watching "La Promesse", a French crime series in six parts about a cop trying to solve the case of a vanished daughter in 1999 but failing and his daughter who has become a cop 20 years later having to solve another case of a vanished girl. She thinks the two cases are connected. Lots of interesting twists and turns. I'll give it 8 out of 10.

For All Mankind Season 3 2022 (10 episodes)
Certainly one my favourite shows that tells an alternative version of the space race between the US and Russia. Season 3 centres on the race to Mars in the 1990's and also we have the first female president of the USA in charge. It's all a bit whimsical at times but it also throws in a few good shocks as well. I loved the tension and was very emotionally involved. Hopefully there is one more season on the horizon. 9/10

Trom 2022 6 episodes
IMDB synopsis After a missing animal rights activist is found amid a local whale hunt, journalist Hannis Martinsson risks his own skin on the trail of a spectacular story, sending shock waves through the isolated island community of the Faroes I think this is one of those things that needs to be binged. Not much to the story but always interesting to watch TV shows shot on small island communities. This is the not the only one about at the moment as we have Shetland and Annika (set on the Isle of Bute) . I liked it, plenty of intensity and an ending that made sense but leaving option for a further season. BTW filmed in the native language (Icelandic) but sub titles available. 7/10

Generally it seemed people didn't believe the story arc that lead Daenerys to go 'psycho' . I didn't mind it personally but it was funny how many people were upset by how it ended.

we are currently watching a TV-series in Russian (with English subtitles) called "The Professor". it is about a medical professor who occasionally helps the police solving crimes in 1912. the series has 8 episodes; we watched the first 3 so far. each episode has a different crime to be solved, but there is a continuous larger plot that slowly unravels. it is not just a crime series; there is a huge element of mystery involved too. highly enjoyable! the series can actually be found on YouTube; I'll give a link to the first episode: Edited by BaldJean - August 18 2022 at 19:14 |

^ When I rewatched GoT the first time (I've gone on to watch the whole series another eight times or so) I was amazed both at how much I'd forgotten and how much more storyline I grasped. I find it endlessly watchable and endlessly complex in its depth. Oh-- and the final season is much better than people thought, I don't understand the issue with it. I think it was one of the best seasons of the series. Edited by Atavachron - August 18 2022 at 16:30 |

Currently re-watching the last 3 seasons of Game Of Thrones before House of the Dragon premieres on Sunday/Monday (depending on where you are in the world) . After that its Lord Of The Ring prequel and See to look forward to. Great times for TV!

Yep have to agree. I thought the ending was as beautifully underplayed as always. Kim Wexler and Saul Goodman sharing a cig, not saying much and then its done apart from a final scene which might be a bit of a spolier if I describe it!.

Finished The Sandman the other night. Really good and it kept my interest throughout. It sort of had 2 separate stories though and the the first 6 episodes (story 1) were much better than the last 4 (story 2). Anyway there must be loads to come with the available source material from Neil Gaiman. 9.5/10 for the first 6 eps, 8/10 for the rest. P.S. Top marks for anyone spotting Lenny Henry in this.

Professor T. Sort of like an English Monk but better and about an obsessive/compulsive criminology teacher rather than a troubled germophobic detective. Not bad. From the Belgian series. |

I watched the season finale of Westworld a day late and it does seem to set up well for a final season. And I have enjoyed the series overall, and found the fourth season to be an improvement over the previous two.
