New ITV Retro channel on Youtube, only Stingray and Thunderbirds there at the moment.  Watched ep1 of Stingray, a blast from the past!

 



A Channel that only plays Stingray and Thunderbirds sounds GLORIOUS! 
Add in UFO, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet and Space 1999 and it's the perfect channel!

ANGRY though... "Wheel of Time" has been cancelled.

 

What is the point of investing time into viewing a good series only for it to be cancelled part way though.

 

Far better to wait until the whole thing is complete before making an effort.

I'm guessing $130 million per season is why it was cancelled. I'm sure Jeff Bezos will live with your anger and save some money.

They've added more eps, along with The Prisoner and Sapphire and Steel

Say Nothing

 

Follows the Price sisters through the troubles from the early 70s. Not an easy watch but really excellent. 

 

Highly recommended if you like your drama with a healthy dose of moral complexity.

The Last of Us. Season 2, final episode. 

 

I was mildly disappointed with this second season. It didn't have a certain "something", that for some reason I felt was missing. 
I thought it was absurdly short, too. 

 

I was also disappointed to read that The Wheel of Time was cancelled.

Mobland is good fun. Helen Mirren plays a particularly nasty piece of work.

 

It's kind of the east end Sopranos.

 

 

I’m not sure how I feel about how the season ended. It’s so nakedly setup subsequent seasons that it was fairly unsatisfying. I still enjoyed it but they could have made it more of a self contained story.

Same, still watching once a week on Sky. Still enjoying it, but it's lost the edge

Watched the season finale last night - I really enjoyed this series until the end of this episode. 

 

I also feel like they've slightly overdone Helen Mirren's character. It's just not quite subtle enough.

"Dept. Q" on Netflix is an excellent watch, can highly recommend that and I hope they will make some more. 9/10.

Wife and I have started watching Grosse Point Gardening Club on TVNZ+
It's a bit like a murderous "Desperate Housewives". 
Fairly enjoyable to a degree, but it does have a bit of an issue with using a "back and forth" trope, where we have SIX MONTHS LATER and PRESENT DAY banners, which if you miss them can make watching confusing at times. 

 


I'm also still really enjoying Murderbot on Apple TV+, but find the episodes far too short. 

 

Have also (while recovering from COVID) started watching The Rig on Prime video. It's set on an oil rig in the North Sea and is vaguely scifi so far. 
It's the same sort of thing you'd get from a spaceship-set "isolated crew get a bit of a shock when one of the crew gets infected by alien virus" show. 

 

So far it's OK.
