Tokyo Vice, fucking immense. 9/10.

 

I thought it was ace until the last episode, where nothing gets tied up.

 

I see it's been renewed for a second season though.

Yeah I wonder if they found out it'd been renewed so had to leave a lot dangling. Loved it though,  the Yakuza just look exactly how you'd imagine them, constantly pissed off.

History of swear words.

 

Hosted by the great Nicholas Cage makes this series side-splittingly funny. A fucking 8 dicks out of 10 pussies.

 

Cage is brilliant in this. The rest of the "comedians" are hit or miss. Mainly miss. 

 

I enjoyed it, it'd have been better if it was a one off and  just Cage ranting for 1 hour.

It really lacks Raul Julia and Angelica Houston though. Raul Julia was such a brilliant Gomez.

Be tough to get Raul Julia back. 
 

Obviously can’t say how much Gomez and Morticia are involved / missed as only watched the first episode, I’ve forgotten how lovely Zeta-Jones is.

Did anyone see the first episode of the new series of 24 Hours In Police Custody the other night?

 

Fucking hell, rarely have I been so angry or outraged, I hope someone tracks those 2 cunts down and guts them.

 

Unreal TV.

Spoilers

 

You can't help bit feel sorry for him,(I can't believe they got rid of the baby) but it was a stupid thing to do(what was he gonna do if he caught them?)

Saying that he just saw red and really should have just got a slap on the wrist. 

Apparently it's created a right stir on social media and there is a go fund me page.

That Di was an utter cunt.

Great show though.

Tulsa King.

 

Watched first episode and its enjoyable enough, shades of LillyHammer with Stallone as a New York mob boss being a fish out of water after being sent to start up business out in Tulsa after 25 years in the slammer.

 

Good start. 

Shades? They’ve heavily lifted the plot line but it’s started well. Enjoying this.

Slow horses season 2 has started. Episode 1 & 2 both out, but I’ll wait for them all to air before starting it.

I thought it was ok. Gary Oldman carried it all though.

[Barrington Womble]

A Friend of the Family on Peacock. It's got a decent cast (Anna Paquin, Colin Hanks, Jake Lacy) and based on a true story about the Broberg family who's friend kidnaps their daughter. I assume this family is pretty well known in the states ( @TheHowieLama ? ) But I've never heard of them. Episode one was pretty decent - 8/10.

Good stuff, I really enjoyed the first series and the books are great too. My sister says the next series of Severance is due soon-ish, so think I'll wait until that's all released and get a free trial to watch both.

Just finished 1899. 
 

Conor McGregor is a surprisingly decent actor. I never knew he could speak German.

No doubt.

 

I like Jake Gyllenhaal but definitely not the right role for him.

 

The less said about the other twat, the better.

I loved Severance.  Really looking forward to S2.

1899

 

Interesting but tedious. The Matrix at sea.

 

5/10

[SasaS]

The English - not really good, but better than I feared after seeing how much the Guardian liked it. 6/10?

 

It starts very ambitious in the first three episodes but then descends into pretentious in the following three parts. The main problem is poor, inconsistent storytelling which does not deliver on early promises and does not make you care or understand the heroes fully,  colourful characters are being piled on to the screen and killed off before they are fully explored, as if to hide narrative shortcomings (look, a Welsh woman is a gang leader). It would have benefited from some expert script doctoring (judging by jumps and what feels like missing parts, some was done, the script was probably even more "ambitious".

Dialogue is, as is often the case now, always forced, "meaningful", "philosophical", "poetic", which after a while starts to grate. Just say a simple, descriptive sentence every once in a while.

 

Directing is particularly irritating after a while, I don't have a more modern reference, but it looks something like the French neo-baroque directors of the late '80s or early '90s would think a (spaghetti, or in this case more of a fish & chips)  western should look like, every shot is carefully composed to feel amazing (and yes, there is a shot of them walking through a poppy field on the Great Plains I've been waiting for ever since the first few carefully colour coordinated images).

 

Ideologically is not that aggressive as we have almost come to expect nowadays, we have seen it all in the American revisionist western of 50-odd years ago, and the male hero is more a good old colonial "noble savage" character than some "woke" reinterpretation ideological criticism would probably (miss)read into it.

 

Onto 1883 now.

You and me both.

Thanks to whoever first mentioned Mayor of Kingstown, loved it. 

 

I'm working my way through Pennyworth whilst waiting for all of the episodes of Slow Horses and Yellowstone to come out so I can binge.
