What Are You Watching - Page 65

I nearly forgot to add:

I should mention that we've just restarted watching Foyle's War, on Acorn. I'd forgotten just how much we enjoyed that. As I mentioned somewhere here, it's nice to watch a copper/detective that isn't scripted to lean over and yell in someone's face, during an interrogation, etc. to create faux tension/conflict.

For those of you who are Midsomer fans, etc. I just thought I'd mention this one. It's easy to forget just how solid it was and Honeysuckle Weeks is good, too.

On and that New Zealand show is going to be back in about 10 days or so, too, the Brokenwood Mysteries. Honestly, I think it's fallen off a bit, the last few seasons, but hey.

Still loving 'Hill Sreet Blues' which I watched when it was first shown here in the UK in the 80s!

Last night I started The Head on Amazon Prime. I'm enjoying it, even if it's a story that's been done a million times already. It seems that there is a second season out, though not on Amazon Prime in the Netherlands.

I watched The Night Agent on Netflix over the past two nights. 10 episodes. I enjoyed it, but I'm not so much into the shoot-em-up, beat-em-up shows.

I had one of 'those' nights - trying (and failing) to decide on what to watch ... so I went back for an old favorite - The Shining - and realized how beautiful the cinematography was - Kubrick could really create beautiful, horrifying movies.

Watched a Netflix film called 'Fall' a few days ago. Two young women scale a two thousand feet high TV tower in the middle of a desert, for kicks. Turns nasty fairly quickly. An okay film but not one for people who dislike heights!

We watched The Unseen, from RSA, which I thought was mostly pretty decent and we're watching Rabbit Hole (Keifer Sutherland) on Paramount. Some of the Rabbit Hole stuff is a bit trope-y, (to be fair, so was The Unseen, in some spots) but it has (so far, famous last words) a decent underlying plot.

I watched the first few episodes. It's compelling at times, but I often found myself falling asleep and needing to rewind. I might try some more episodes with higher caffeine levels.

My sister and I watched the first season of The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon over the weekend. Which we both enjoyed. Last night I caught up with Yellowjackets.

Nice, definitely giving this a try.

Re-watching an ancient BBC sitcom called 'The Good Life' which I am enjoying!

Felicity Kendal. Do I need to comment further?

I certainly enjoyed it the first time around.

mlewis78 · 04-12-2023, 05:08 PM

I watched episode 3 of Succession Sunday night and again Tuesday night. The first time I was looking up online whether or not what was really happening because they were very uncertain and I didn't like that! People on facebook groups were very upset about spoilers before they "could watch" but I don't know why they look at social media if they don't want to know.
