IMO season 3 dips a small bit but is pulled back to brilliance by a fantastic ending.

Quite correct.

Pumping through season 1 anyway, will have finished it tonight. The missus expresses thanks also; she's even more into than I am - I expect her to produce a cork board of theories any day now.


Season 2 of Dark wrapped up there. The mix of fairly silly premise with ultra dour aesthetic and generally unlikable characters definitely works well auf Deutsch!  :abbath:

Will take a break now for a couple of movies over the weekend and start into season 3 from Monday.

Rewatching Friends at the moment.  Mostly just on in the background but I know it all like the back of my hand anyway.  Up to the episode now where Phoebe has the triplets, think it's all downhill after this really.  I remember the last season being particularly bad but the early ones are still great.

Started Suits too, only a few episodes in but it's very enjoyable so far.  Plenty of it too, hopefully it mostly stays like this.

Suits largely maintains the quality. Maybe fizzles out towards the end but the first few seasons are great.

Suits first 2 seasons I found good. Went downhill rapidly after that.

Watched a BBC series recently, Informer.

Follows a (fictional) anti-terror unit recruiting a new asset for undercover work. It does not go well.

It touches on some of the implications of the recent Spycops scandal. Enjoyed it, 6 hour-long episodes that don't drag the hole out of it.


Watching The Barrier on Netflix. It's not bad so far


Finally got stuck back into The Man In The High Castle and finished it. Overall I really enjoyed the series but the introduction of the BCR in season 4 really came out of nowhere and felt wholly unnecessary to be honest. I wish they had ended the episode about 5 minutes sooner than they did too, that last scene was so shit and totally took away from the impact of the preceding scene!

Blitzed through an Argentinian prison series on Netflix recently, El Marginal. Utterly ridiculous premise but great craic.

El Marginal is class, second one isn't bad either. That Argentinian barrio dialect of Spanish, especially yer man 'Diosito' uses, fuckin' hell. Subtitles required, even for Spaniards!

I enjoyed season 2 and 3 more than season 1 because of the focus on the Borges brothers, Diosito is gas craic! Season 4 should be out the tail end of this year, can't wait. 

There's a Mexican remake of season 1 on Netflix, turned it off shortly into the first episode, pure dour shite.

Yer mans wife was some laugh as well, 'Doris' :)

I haven't seen the third one yet, you powered through!
