Black female lead... check!
Gay black dude... check!
Transgender... check!  (who literally switches between dude and chick)

ESG scores dominate. I'm getting better at filtering it out but it has gotten rather predictable tbf. Will probably die down in a few years when people want actual diversity of things to watch rather than crap that sounds like it's conceived by chat gpt.

Watched season 5 of The Handmaid's Tale over the last couple of weeks. We weren't expecting much, but it turned out to be great. One final season to go of that.

And last night started Slow Horses on a recommendation from a mate. Knew absolutely nothing going in apart from the title, so was pretty surprised by the intensity of the opening scene. Lots of potential, great cast, looking forward to seeing where it goes.

I completely forgot about Handmaid's Tale.  Enjoyed it too, just whatever I was using for streaming at the time died off on me.  Just checked there and I was a few episodes into S4 so I must go back and finish it off now there's a few to watch.

Watching Pluto here at the moment.  One episode left to go.  Sci-Fi anime about a future where robots and man live side by side, post-war the robots are given various rights and protections and have decent enough AI to be able to live normal lives, to a degree.  A series of murders kicks off the show and from there it dives sideways into the lives of various people and robots over the years leading up to and after the murders.  Deadly show so far.

Is that Slow Horses a comedy series, don't know much about it other than that Gary Oldman is in it?

Had an anime series called Scavengers Reign recommended to me, it looks good from the trailer:

That looks pretty deadly, I must give it a watch.

Ya Slow Horses is good. Oldman is brilliant in it.

Not comedy, but does have humour (in first ep anyway).

Ah right. About underperforming intelligence agents or something. Oldman's usually worth a look anyway.

Slow Horses is worth sticking with, very entertaining. Oldman on top form.

Aye gets better as it goes along. Oldman is a right cunt in it.

Yeah great character, he completely nails it.

Just finished season 1 of The Bear, good stuff, gonna get cracked into season 2 straight away.

Also a couple episodes into Reservation Dogs. Decent light watch.

Ya The Bear is fecking deadly. You'd nearly have a panic attack watching it. Season 2 is deadly. The christmas dinner episode with Jamie lee curtis is insane.

Watching Dark winds. Slow burning thriller on an indian reservation. 5 episodes in and it's good.


The Xmas dinner in S2 and the oneshot in S1 are brilliant.
