Just hammering "Luther", into series 3 now. Brilliant British drama with a few turns you don't expect. Watching it without commercial breaks is fun.
Quality TV Shows
A couple of shows I binged over the holiday break:
Russian Doll
This Way Up
UnNatural Selection on Netflix is also very good! It talks about gene editing/CRISPR technique, BUT it has a very strong human element in that it explains the science while focusing on real people affected by genetic diseases who could benefit from these techniques becoming more accessible and affordable.
Also, NZ features quite heavily in the 6 episode series, highly recommended.
On the same note, both Explained and The Mind Explained are great!
Chernobyl
It's the best show I've ever watched
I watch a lot of TV, some you may like. Others you may not but here is a list of some
- See
- The Feed
- The Good Doctor
- His Dark Materials (maybe enjoy it more if you read the books)
- Chernobyl Total agree you have to watch this, it is so well done and its just six episodes. Everyone should see it
- Letterkenny Maybe not to everyones taste, you have to like stupid comedies but I love this show, wife won't watch it
"Years and years" is interesting. Probably more for us SJW-types who fear what Trump may unleash.
Only 6 episodes.
Watched this last week, really good.
Letterkenny filmed in Sudbury Ontario my home for the last 10 years.

Really? Have you watched the show, do you think it's close to how some maybe?

Never watched it,
Just watched McMillion$. On HBO. It is awesome. Totally weird characters in the biggest real world crime that no one knows about.
Sunderland til I die season 2 returns to netflix on April 1st..
Oh and Ozark season 3 is on netflix on March 27th
Ashley Bloomfield's Covid19 updates.
watched "on my block" on netflix found it to be good funny with a bit of drama thrown in, about a hood in the states and the lives of four teenagers growing up there.
Star Trek - Strange New Worlds. Features Christopher Pike as the Captain of the Enterprise just before James T. Kirk. I've watched all six episodes of this and I feel this is the closest version of Star Trek to the original series. it certainly pays homage to TOS. The phasers, the "sound" effects. Even a bit of humour in parts. The Character "Christopher Pike" is really good imho. The guy whom plays Spock has his voice down perfectly. I've really enjoyed it. Each episode is an individual story, yet there is a time line reference attached.
As for Star trek Discovery, that's crap and is obviously out there for the PC fans in this world. It seems so intent on pushing it's moral barrow that the actual stories in each episode come across as quite lame. I watched two episodes to give it a chance but no more. It's just messy.

Better Call Saul.
Just finished the mid season finale for the sixth and final season.
In fairness I was always going to watch it after breaking bad (all those years back) but admittedly it took me a season or two to get really into it. Quality show/series no less.
Three Mile Island on Netflix is a good watch too.

"Night Sky" - Prime Video, an 8 part series starring Sissey Spacek and JK Simmons as the leads. Both around 70, it makes for a nice change. And interesting ScIfi adventure and is slow paced but well worth being patient with. Deserves a 2nd season on effort alone. Minimal CGI too.

Dark is such a mind fudge. Think having subtitles made it easier to follow and stopped me from zoning out.
Peaky Blinders. Just finished series 6, which I thought was a bit down on previous. But Cillian Murphy as Tommy is still class, and love Tom Hardy's cameos as the unhinged Alfie Solomons.
Plus like the historical storylines learning about England between the wars, prohibition, opium trafficking, post WW1 PTSD, early IRA, Mosley the facist and all that stuff.
Sam Neill was good in the first series.

"Welcome to Wrexham" on the Disney+ Network. I've just watched all 18 episodes for season 1 and I hope there will be a season 2. IMHO it's bl00dy brilliant and gives an honest assessment in all things Wrexham related. Very well worth the watch. Full of laughs, honesty and points of view of players, fans, owners etc.
Madoff - The Monster of Wall Street
Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga.
These series were right up my alley. Highly recommended.

Made in Wrexham Season 2 Episode 1 is now available to view. Although, we already know that they are back in the EFL, I am really looking forward to seeing this. This epsiode covers the off season and the first 2 games.......
The Boys. Superhero but not as you know them. Very gory. Very good.
YouTube is replacing just about every show now.
"Reacher" season 1 & season 2 on Prime Amazon. Each 8 episodes in length and pretty good. Some very sly humour in it too.
captain and captains of the world on netflix. captains follow six teams and their captain trying to qualify for the 2022 world cup includes vanuatu and brian kaltak.captains of the world looks at teams at the world cup and their captains.
'Masters of the Air' - Apple TV.
Follows a US Airforce Flying Fortress bomber squadron from 1943 to end of the war. 'The Bloody 100th'. The fatality rate was horrendous, especially for the Americans who unlike the RAF (night bombing only), flew to Europe in day time. Completing 25 missions the magic mark, to get to go home alive.
3rd installment in the Hanks & Spielberg WW2 drama series. Band of Brothers and Pacific, the earlier two. Like the other two, based off memoirs and books penned by actual veterans - nearly all now dead. This stuff doesn't glorify war, just tells it how it was in all it's horror, but also you get a feel for the incredibly special bond men (and women) can form when thrown together amongst it all.
The aerial scenes are amazing, and you know the whole thing is incredibly well researched. My type of thing.

'For all Mankind' on Apple TV + is fantastic. I think I watched the first episode three times over a year or so before I got past it and then was hooked, especially from Ep 3 onwards, so stick with it if you give it a go and struggle initially.
It's just finished it's 4th season.

Ahh- that explains why I’m getting flooded with Band of Brothers clips of late!
Not having watched the 3rd Ted Lasso might be worth getting Apple TV back to watch both…
