And that's a wrap for Deadwood. Watched the 2019 film last night. Most noticeable was that both Olyphant and Bullock had improved in acting and character, respectively. Not an amazing movie, but a really nice way to tie things up.

E.B. Farnhum is now one of my all time favourite screen characters. Like a Polonius transported to the wild west.

The EB and Richardson scenes were always hilarious. Brian Cox was also great.

He was! And really highlighted his skill as an actor seeing him in that role after watching Succession.

Olyphant is very good in Justified, one of the better TV shows I've watched in the last few years. The character isn't far off Bullock in Deadwood - he's a trigger-happy marshal reassigned to Kentucky after shooting a mobster. It's based on an Elmore Leonard short story and Leonard co-wrote some of the early episodes. The storylines and dialogue are excellent, and it's worth watching for Walton Goggins alone.   

SAS back on the telly. That's me set for the next couple of months  8)

Walten Goggins as Boyd Crowdwer is one of the best tv characters ever. And Olyphant and the entire cast really are great in it. I rewatched it recently and it was even  better second time around.

Time to give Mike Flanagan another chance...Hill House was great, Bly Manor was only ok, and Midnight Mass was poor enough I thought. Reviews for House of Usher seem positive so far, we'll see...

Just finished "Justified: City Primeval" - not a patch on the original series.

Just finished Cabinet of Curiosities. A very mixed bag, only enjoyed a few of the episodes.

Finished this last night, nothing special but a decent watch if you can forgive the occasional hammy moment, Mark Hammil is great.

Had a google to see who the Irish actress is...she was a barber with no acting experience who started making tiktoks during Covid, and got picked up to be in Flanagan's last show and now this, mad.

I'm having to sit through it as herself wants to watch it. I think its fucking shocking. Annoying comedy horror kitsch tripe with 100 monologues every episode. Every character seems to go both ways too.

Suffered through it myself, enjoyed midnight mass but none of his other work. Thought this had potential after one ep but completely lost interest by the end. By the algorithm netflix series

Just finished the first season of The Wheel Of Time. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would, I've read a lot of the books so knew most of the broad strokes going in, but by jaysus does it pander to the old diversity shtick.

Lord Of The Rings/Witcher lite for those that aren't familiar.

The old diversity schtick... as you put it, is absolutely destroying everything on the Tellybox these days.

It really is. Netflix is the major culprit with terrestrial tv and the soaps in particular not far behind. It seems like your not in a normal relationship now unless your partner is a different colour. Or so they'd have us believe. Just watching Emma Watson's 'Circle' film here and ticking off the various ethnicities and sexualities as they inevitably crop up.
I tell ya, you could make a helluva drinking game out of it .
