Watched AP Bio lately after the lads were on about it on the sunny podcast. Few good laughs. Mythic Quest is also alright.

[Born of Fire]

Watching A.P. Bio at the minute. Funny shit.

I've been meaning to watch that. Over the years Glenn Howerton became my favourite by far on It's Always Sunny. He's great craic on the podcast too.

We Own This City. Quite good. Went off in a direction I wasn't expecting but the constant timeline jumps were annoying. Hopefully they write another show. John Bernthal is great in it.

I'm four episodes in, it's grand but nothing outstanding so far. Maybe I'm being harsh here but it seems to be a complete retread of the Wire, except this time the bad guys are the cops, and  the cops are the feds.

[Emphyrio]

Ya, if you're looking to cure your Wire itch (!) this might be a bit disappointing but overall I enjoyed it, apart from the gimpy time jumps. It would be far more pedestrian if not for Bernthal's performance.

[open face surgery]

Haven't seen him in anything else and he sufficiently annoyed me. I think it's good to show, all based on fact, the other side of the coin. Cops are scum. It's all in the game.

David Simon's The House I Live In about the prison industrial complex also highlights that, although that's all done legally. Scum. There's your racism. Not Joe Rogan or whoever the fuck saying a word.

Watched Killing Escobar on Netflix earlier. Anticlimatic rubbish.

[Carnage]

I can't stand Bernthal in anything I've seen him in, if it wasn't a David Simon programme I'd skip it automatically.

Started a rewatch of Lost fot the first time since 2010.  About halfway into S2 now and it's more interesting than I remembered first time around, pacing is decent, little nods in the story more obvious.  Knowing how it pans out and being able to crush about 3 episodes a night makes it a different experience than in the 00's.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Watched it all during first lockdown, having never gone beyond season 4 or 5 first time round. Really, really enjoyed it I have to say... even the ending!

[Emphyrio]

Glad it stands up to a second watch cos I'm hoping to get to it at some point. I was in the minority in that I pretty much enjoyed it all, including the finale, the first time around.

Up to speed with Stranger Things now... This latest season is easly the best one yet. The longer episodes have really helped I think. Roll
on the final two.

[Necro Red]

Started Danny Boyles Pistol, the story about the Sex Pistols. Very enjoyable now, probably helps if you're a fan of the Pistols. Good craic now

[Emphyrio]

Watched the first ep of Night Sky. Anyone watch it? At the moment it seems more a sentimental drama with aulde ones with an element of sci-fi. JK Simmons is very watchable but I slogged through Counterpart a while ago and that wasn't great despite him being very good.

Also watched a coupla eps of Tokyo Vice. First ep directed by Michael Mann and he executive produces, so obviously it looks great and really immerses you in Japanese culture. However, nothing has really happened so far. It kinda reminds me of Mad Men in that sense.

Also just started Stranger Things. Looking good.

I've never even seen a single episode. I remember it being the thing at the time. Maybe I'll put it on the never list.

What ever happened with that prison break thing that was going around the same time?

[Carnage]

The trailer for Pistol was enough for me, it looks awful. Can take or leave the band TBH, incredibly overrated.

Night Sky I have lined up, will watch it after Outer Range, the Josh Brolin sci fi series. Both look intrigueing.

Let me know your thoughts on the latter two when you get to them.

That Pistol trailer did nothing for me. Looked full of over the top annoying cunts.
