I finished it. Itâs good fun, if a bit silly, but they play it in a way that makes the far fetched acceptable. Weâll made and good acting all round i thought. More believable than the governmentâs efforts.
Only downside, oh canât say until you finish it

Have a day off mate
Itâs to similar not to mention. Sorry, but youâll see.
S2 Travels with my father.
Just lovely daft tv.
A perfect gentle evening of entertainment. Sure much of it is S1 in different locations but sometimes just watching a grumpy old fart can be therapy.
Dad is the perfect straightman
So wish I could have done that then realised my kids had to do it most summer vacationsâŠ
The other evening I decided to continue with the first episode of season 3 of âThe Man In The High Castleâ
It didnât take long to remind me that I had, like a lot of otherâs, grown increasingly frustrated at the complexity of the storyline.
Backwards and forward in time and across into a parallel Universe in which The Allies had actually won WW2 and characters killed in season one reappeared living a happy and contented family life in series two.
Was the convoluted plotting worth sticking with? I gave up halfway through the first episode of season 3.
I gave up at the end of series 1. Youâve just reaffirmed why I wonât be giving it a go.

Mrs C_S watched all of 1 & 2 and enjoyed it.
I really tried to keep the interest up but I suspect Iâll give 3 a swerve.
Changing the subject, does anyone know when Danger Will Robinson is back on? (Yes, I know itâs not called that but you know the one I mean)
Fuck Whitehall and all his works.
He bought his jokes from other writers and stole the Dad idea from Adam Buxton, ably aided at the time by Louis Theroux
Bucky did it better.

Just finished Better Call Saul. Sâall good, man, as the man says himself. A diverting season finale, with Mike dealing with the fallout from Wernerâs recent flight, the pieces of the Gus Fring empire falling into place, and Jimmyâs appeal hearing for his reinstatement as a lawyer.
This year is probably the first that Iâve been watching it week to week. Bob Odenkirk is a great lead, showing a huge amount of versatility in the various scams he pulls. His final scam of the season was brutal, taking in the court appeal board, Kim Wexler and the audience. I was fooled.
The show conveys information brilliantly. The cold open of Kim and Jimmy growing apart was genius. Shot in split-screen, the camera showed the same overall scene. At the start, Kim and Jimmy are swapping into each othersâ halves of the screen. By the end, when they move into each others halves, they get cut off. Theyâre not in the same place. Itâs genius.
Our characters are two years away from the start of Breaking Bad. This season has got both Mike and Jimmy to the point where they are almost indistinguishable from the characters in those shows. Slipping Jimmy is gone. Jimmy McGill is changing his name. But do you know what? Itâs all good, man.

Bastard. I was saving that for Friday and a pizza as Mrs C_S is out on a work doâŠ
Weâve finished Killing Eve and I really enjoyed it and looking forward to more. One of the best things Iâve seen for a while.

Pizza beer and BCS
Great
What do I watch now that is as good?
Ozark is back. As grey and wintry as ever. Jason Bateman balancing Heroin Growers with Mexican Drug Cartels and family in the middle of nowhere.
A continuing domestic soap opera of clusterfuck leading to clusterfuck.
It is absorbing but not binge watchable, a bit deep and heavy at times.
Black Mirror. Now that is deep heavy shit. That I manage in 1 episode bites. Clever and disturbing in equal measure.
Both a good antidote for a few days binge watching Iron Fist 2 which fills empty evenings, just

Iâm two episodes into Killing Eve after so many recommendations and have enjoyed it so far. Tonight Iâve started watching The Haunting of HillHouse on Netflix. Itâs been very good so far. 10 episodes in total. A good length ss they say

Two episodes into The Haunting of House Hill and Iâm hooked.
I canât wait till I watch the next episode and that is enough for me to say itâs great. Letâs hope the rest is as good.
Happy
2 episodes left.
Teenage Mutant keeps coming into the living room to see what the groans/ laughter is.
Genuinely a compelling series to watch.
If you havenât seen it and you have a warped sense of humour then it is for you.
Mrs C_S is watching the +1 last leg or something, then back to it!
So last year. But brilliant show.

Iâve just seen the first episode of the new season of South Park. Brilliant, and a little disturbing. Itâs about school shootings, and is a wryly observed study of how de-sensitised Americans have become to the news.
Throughout the course of the episode, there are numerous school shootings involving deaths at South Park Elementary. None of the students are bothered. Maths classes continue as SWAT teams and teachers attempt to put down the perpetrator.
The only person in the whole town that thinks the school shootings are a problem is Sharon Marsh, Stanâs mum and long suffering wife to Randy, who believes that her outbursts are down to PMT and/or the menopause.
Iâll say no more, but itâs Matt and Trey at their best again.
