That’s funny but I agree.  

 

I’m still watching The Walking Dead and that’s out of loyalty.  It was very good when it first started but it should have finished years ago.  This is the last series so I’m curious to see how it ends.  

Basically, that's my son's viewpoint. He stuck with it. I couldn't be arsed. I got bored 😴  .

 

I plan on starting 'Midnight Mass' soon (the people that do 'The Haunting Of....' series).

I’ve come this far with The Walking Dead so I’m going to stick with it.  I want to see what happens to the actor who plays Negan, can’t see him being killed off just yet as I’ve read ratings have picked up a bit because of him.  

 

At the moment I’m catching up with a few things that I’ve recorded on TV, a 3 part series being one of them, The Night Stalker, it’s a true story.  Then after binge watching the programme they did a documentary interviewing the detectives who caught this evil man.  It was good how the police finally caught him after working 17 years on the case.  
 

I might watch The Chestnut Man later on, a few on here say it’s well worth a watch. You will have to post what you think about Midnight Mass when you watch it!

Paris Police 1900 - BBC4 & i player (8parts)

 

Strange mixture of fact & Fiction.

Dark, gritty and plausible rewrite of French History that works.

Atmospheric filming, clothing, characters and debauchery throughout.

Would be easy to pick fault with some of the continuity but it's French and subtitled so!

 

 Expertly done & well worth binging on.

 

Keep safe 🧐

Only Murders In The Building   -  (Disney+ with Hulu)

 

Great 10 part comedy murder mystery starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as fans of true crime podcasts living in the same building who come together to investigate the murder of another tenant in their posh New York apartment building and create their own podcast about it.

 

Steve Martin plays a former actor who was famous in the early 80s for playing a Kojak-like TV police detective, Martin Short is an eccentric theatre producer who's had a string of epic failures on and off Broadway and Selena Gomez is a snarky millennial renovating her aunt's apartment.

Billion Dollar Code.

 

The true story of the brothers who invented (10 years before) what went on to be Google Earth.

This 4 part mini series on Netflix may sound as if it's only for the 'geeky computer buff'.

But you'd be completely wrong!

Interesting & Excellently filmed with a Excellent story line & characters.

Can the common man beat the big boys in court?

What do you think?

 

As a bonus there is also a  28 min 'Making of Billion Dollar Code featuring some of those really involved.

 

Fully Recommended.

An odd mix of the dull and the wonderful, I ended up FF about half of each episode. 6/10

 

Invasion

'Earth is visited by an alien species that threatens humanity's existence'.
Sam Neill, big budget, what could go wrong? Nothing much seems to happen. 2/10
