Class show except for the last season, which is basically unwatchable.  First few are excellent though.

The Wire Update

I'm most of the way through season 3 currently. Funnily enough, if you'd asked me before this rewatch I'd have said season 3 was my favourite season, but on this go through I definitely enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 more. 3 is still incredible, but it's not grabbing me to quite the same extent as 1 and 2. Which is better between 1 and 2 is a very close call.

Aye on my second watch season 2 hit way harder and season 3 way less.

This. First few seasons are comedy gold. Especially the principal.

Rewatching Spartacus before the new spin off next month. Rough CGI gore and slo mo aside, it's still a great watch and stuck the landing far better than shows with 10 times it's budget.

I'm nodding off here, my dozy eyes saw The Wee Update. I thought it was a sitcom about dwarves or something...

What a superb ending, a class show all round tbf.

The premise of the new one seems a bit silly but I'll definitely watch it.

 

Working through the Netflix Resident Evil series. Isn't too bad so far but the way they keep cutting from the present day to prior to the outbreak is starting to drag

Would've been better just having one or two episodes to establish the story, and then get on with the zombie gore

Blazed through Boots and Dept. Q on Netflix. Both very enjoyable and easy to watch.

Finally got around to Adolescence. Powerful stuff, and so much of it carried by the frankly stunning performance by the lad playing the protagonist.

A rare instance where Stephen Graham didn't entirely steal the show.

It was a winner.

Started into Zero Day. One episode in and apart from some dodgy acting from the chick who is president- she sounds like she's reading her lines off the page- I'm at least interested to see where it goes.

Robert DeNiro is yer man from Up incarnate in Zero Day.

Stranger Things back with a decent first half. And the return of Frank Darabont too!

Isn't there 3 parts to this season to finish it out?
