Treadstone looks decent. Think it’s on Amazon. Dropped late last year in US UK not long ago. Carrie’s on the feel of the Jason Bourne movies. Ep 1 & 2 ate slower paced but still feel like the movie and sets up for a decent global canvas with characters who are developing. Mrs P\_F also enjoyed. More updates tomorrow. For some obscure reason she has set a 6am alarm to do shit. What shit? Ffs my day was 1 hour chauffeured drive to town, water the plants, sunbathing, read some Jack Reacher have dinner & get pissed tonight

So Locke and Key on Netflix, only watched the first one last night but it’s set the scene for the rest of the Episodes quite well. Lots of back stories that need filling

The Letter to the King. Netflix. 6 episodes. More sword & sorcery, filmed in Queenstown NZ & Prague. Based on a Dutch book. Looks beautiful. This is a decent binge. Its basic storyline is decent, world building is there. The problem is the story is about novice (& spoiler alert, basically useless) Knights. ie kids As such it is rated 7+ which when added to flimsy character development, leaves it kind of flat. Not flat enough to bin off, just not got a wow factor. It has a few plot holes, a plot twist as obvious as a Matt Hancock speech and a few dead end diversions. So sit down with a bottle of something & it’s a good way of waiting for the cat to come back from delivering essential meds or whatever the fvck she did last night. It isn’t a waste of time, the story is good, just could have been REALLY good 5.5/10 7/10 with a bottle of vodka ---

Watching most of Tales of the Unexpected on YouTube. It’s fucking brilliant. It’s our Twilight Zone, except most ideas come from the brain of Roald Dahl. Pretty nice budget for the times, although most episodes ultimately take place in a few locations, most of them quite obviously not on location. Chock full with acting talent that went onto get recognised in bigger things. ---

Haven’t seen it mentioned on here yet, getting into DEVS at the mo on BBC iplayer, I’m about halfway through the 8x 50 minute episodes, written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina). I was intrigued by the trailers and am liking what I’ve seen so far, a brooding sci-fi filled with secrecy and paranoia, not too dissimilar to something Philip K. Dick might have produced. It’s got a soundtrack that heavily resembles the dreamy chiming of Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris (which I also like). The main character is a bit annoying though and I’m finding it difficult to care what happens to her and almost rooting for the ‘bad guys’. 7/10 so far. ---

> [@Intiniki](#): > > A friend has recommended it. Looked a bit odd. Yeah, it was bit out there. I changed my mind to it being a teen-angst filled series that would appeal to the Twilight generation

Watched the first 10 mins with Mrs Bletch and we both agreed (when she told me) that it wasn’t her cup of tea. It definitely looks like my cup of tea so will be watching the rest of the first episode soon. I was struck at how authentic the discussions of quantum computing and encryption were - not that I’m an expert. ---

Yeeeeees, I too was appreciative of the authenticity of the discussion of quantum computering
 If I had one other small criticism (alongside not liking the main protagonist) is that some of the computer nerds say ‘woah’ far too much, in a very much Keanu Reeves stylee. [![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/9/e/9e0535cd7d9e9b8e78a3bbafd62b1bcb833e8a83.jpeg "The Matrix - Whoa") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP8uhXuS2n8) Maybe this is an accurate depiction of computer nerds though, I am certainly in the ‘Jen from IT Crowd’ bracket when it comes to knowledge of comp-uters.

I watched it and enjoyed in but I don’t have a fuckin’ clue what you’re quantumly talking about but I’d like to impress you with one of my Karmann Ghia friends. Mike went to MIT and he lectures around the world on AI. I’ll ask him what he thought of it. :lou_lol: [Previous page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/good-shows-no-capeshit-pls/1310.md?page=95) [Next page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/good-shows-no-capeshit-pls/1310.md?page=97)
