Have Deceit lined up myself, looks good.

Des was excellent, Tennant was so casual about the whole thing, it added an extra chill to proceedings. I tried to buy that book on Ebay but the seller turned out to be a scammer. Got refunded by Paypal though, so...

New documentary on Niksen coming up on Netflix, incidentally.

The Brian Masters book is very cheap on Amazon, as is Nilsen's own autobiography. I looked it up after watching "Des" but I have too much to read at the minute so I left it go.

Yeah, it was reprinted when Des came out, it had been out of print beforehand, I must pick it up. I didn't realise Nilsen had written an autobiography, that'd be... interesting, I reckon.

Interesting might be one word for it. Nilsen's book was only published earlier this year. I read something about it in The Guardian when it came out. The guy who edited and tidied it up said he had whittle to it down from roughly 6000 typed pages that Nilsen had written to 350 pages in the book.

Six thousand pages... Christ.


I started watching Man in the High Castle on Prime, what a class show. If you have access to Prime (check AliExpress - €1.99) then it's a great watch. Only finishing off Season 1 at the minute. Great concept and sets.

Yeah, it's deadly. One I'll happily rewatch all of in a few years.

I just finished up The Serpent. Very enjoyable.

Just finished it yesterday too. Wasn't pushed on it at the start but it's under dramatized sort of feel to it really grew on me. Good show.

Enjoyed the final season of Bosch. It dipped over the later seasons but the last one was good.

The second spin-off from Power, Power Book 3: Raising Kanan, is also quite good. Definitely better than Book 2.

Also watched S2 of Sky Rojo. Still daft but jaysus, that Wendy one has to be the most flakin' young wan on d'telly at the moment.

Loved Bosch at first.
Recent seasons really, REALLY dragged, though.
And I ended up dropping it. Still want to finish it out at some stage.

Power got utterly ridiculous towards the end. And the thought of continuing Book 2 with the numpty son leading the story was never going to happen.

Book 3 is a prequel so I might dip into that, alright.

I struggled through S5 of Bosch, only managed 2 EPs of S6. Didn't miss anything going into S7 and twas worth a watch.

Power was excellent until the last season. Tried to be too clever. Book 2 suffers from having that gimp lead the show but it isn't bad. I've high hopes for Book 3, seeing how it all began.

Keep meaning to get to this and then forgetting about it. It's almost the season for the telly too

Bosch did dip a bit but I still enjoy it. I watched 2 seasons of Power. A truly fucking awful show. Hated it.

Wouldn't be able to watch anything with 50 cent and take it seriously tbh.

I watched the first two episodes of Des based on the talk of it on here the last couple of days, David Tennant is brilliant in it.
