Oooh.
Treadstone looks decent. Think itâs on Amazon.
Dropped late last year in US UK not long ago.
Carrieâs 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 tonightâŠ
What a wonderful job Netflix did, pulling together all that documentary footage into 2 seasons of superb TV in Sunderland till I die.
We went there so makes it more real
So Locke and Key on Netflix, only watched the first one last night but itâs set the scene for the rest of the Episodes quite well.
Lots of back stories that need fillingâŠ
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 & itâs a good way of waiting for the cat to come back from delivering essential meds or whatever the fvck she did last night.
It isnât 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.
Itâs fucking brilliant. Itâs 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.
Just half way through the first episode
What the actual fuck
Floridians - utter fuckwitts

A friend has recommended it. Looked a bit odd.
Havenât seen it mentioned on here yet, getting into DEVS at the mo on BBC iplayer, Iâm 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 Iâve seen so far, a brooding sci-fi filled with secrecy and paranoia, not too dissimilar to something Philip K. Dick might have produced. Itâs got a soundtrack that heavily resembles the dreamy chiming of Steven Soderberghâs Solaris (which I also like). The main character is a bit annoying though and Iâm finding it difficult to care what happens to her and almost rooting for the âbad guysâ. 7/10 so far.

Yeah, it was bit out there. I changed my mind to it being a teen-angst filled series that would appeal to the Twilight generationâŠ
Watched the first two episodesâŠliking itâŠespecially using Lowâs âCongregationâ

Yeah first thing I did after that episode was look that song up 
Watched the first 10 mins with Mrs Bletch and we both agreed (when she told me) that it wasnât 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 Iâm an expert.
Yeeeeees, I too was appreciative of the authenticity of the discussion of quantum computeringâŠ
If I had one other small criticism (alongside not liking the main protagonist) is that some of the computer nerds say âwoahâ far too much, in a very much Keanu Reeves stylee.
Maybe this is an accurate depiction of computer nerds though, I am certainly in the âJen from IT Crowdâ bracket when it comes to knowledge of comp-uters.
I watched it and enjoyed in but I donât have a fuckinâ clue what youâre quantumly talking about but Iâd like to impress you with one of my Karmann Ghia friends.
Mike went to MIT and he lectures around the world on AI. Iâll ask him what he thought of it.
