Started only murders in the building. New Steve Martin comedy on Disney. Seems decent, light entertainment really with a few laughs.

Gets better as it goes on. Martin and Short are brilliant in it.

Steve Martin give his best comedy performance since his 70s/80s heyday in "Only Murders In The Building". Martin Short is always worth watching.

Watched the newest season of "Cobra Kai". It's grand. I stick by my review from the last season that it has turned into "Saved By The Bell (And Karate)".

Started season two of "The Morning Show". I am 2 hour-long episodes in and I think that I can safely say it should have been a one-and-done mini-series.

Currently going back through "The Office" (US) because my wife has never seen it but she liked both "Parks & Recreation" and "Superstore". There's so much brilliantly constructed pieces in it (after season one) that it's a pleasure to be re-watching after such a long time.


I remember seeing comedies as a child with Leslie Nielsen and Steve Martin and confusing them. Luckily one was hilarious, the other not so that cleared it up for me.

Started S5 of The Expanse. About 2 years after watching S4. Fuckin lost.

Started watching Peacemaker, so far so good.

I;ve started rewatching Rescue Me + there's the new Ozark season. Lovely!!

Finished episode 2 of Archieve 81. Seems an interesting found footage show, where a guy is employed to restore tapes with some strange shit on them.

Just finished it. Was iffy for the first coupla eps but gets much better.

Half way through Station Eleven.

Really want to finish the season... but also really want to kick the TV over while watching it, too.

Watching Tintin on Netflix for a bit of the français. Used to love it as a young lad, it's still great craic.

Fuckin' annoying that the subtitles and what's being said is not always the same but sure lookit g'wan it's grand.

And what a theme tune!

Watching The Mill at the moment. A period piece set in a cotton mill in North England. It somehow isn't quite grabbing me yet... needs to be more grim!

Netflix anime is particularly bad for this too, nothing matches up, rewatching Stein's Gate at the minute and there is often two completely different conversations happening on the subs and dub (I have both on so I don't have to have the telly up too loud).  Fuck knows what the original Japanese is either, probably different again.

Watched the first episode of Peacemaker. The Suicide Squad was bollix but this is great craic.

Manhunt: The Unabomber. Story is, of course, amazing but the characters are more or less all annoying. The usual bullshit narrative of the half autistic rookie detective losing it all cause he's too dedicated to the case. Do they have any other template? Dunno why he's always running around the place either. Blah blah blah. Overdone, overacted annoying shite.
