A gardening program...on a Friday night...

Charlie Dymock is a bit old for you mate

Thank you to all the people who recommended After Life. Just finished Series One - truly brilliant writing, acting and observations on life. I foresee a binge watch through Series Two tonight.

Charlie Dymock is a bit old for you mate

You could take her out and the first comment would be "where did you dig her up?"

I'll get my trowel.

Started watching Brokenwood Mysteries. It's a New Zealand detective show, bit like Vera, available on Sky Catch Up, six seasons.

Last night we watched the first two episodes of Unorthodox - a story of a girl removing herself from the Hasidic Jewish community of New York. As well as a good story it gives a really interesting insight into Hasidic Jewish customs and practices - of which I knew nothing.

Just finished Normal People. Paul Mescal must be one of the best actors on the planet based on that performance and I hope he doesn’t get pigeon holed because of his Irish accent.

I like these - a bit quirky but in general good entertainment - a nice alternative to my usual gore-fest

"The Sixties."

News documentary series covering the whole of the 60s in the US, from the early days of JFK, through the black equality movement, Martin Luther King, The Beatles, the space missions, Vietnam, Nixon etc etc.

Superb.

Been there done that, do not want to be reminded

He was stunning. I got so immersed in his character. So much so I said to David when we watched the last episode how sad it was he'd become so mentally frail and fragile. Something about the little murmur he'd often give - hard to explain but he was brilliant.

Absolutely stunning original mix of black and white and colour news footage.

On Sky Arts, so available by searching on Sky, NowTV etc.

Superb.

Seriously though I did watch it and the follow ons I was bit too young to take a lot of it in at the time and only have partial memories of that time. It was a series of programmes I enjoyed.

Plus the interraction with him and Marianne. Even David was asking me last night why they couldn't work it out, why she was telling him to go to NY. Everything between them was so real, so deep and so emotional...loved it and gutted to find it was the last episode.

Very much in to the latest series of Manifest and Crossing LineS(CH5)

I have watched the first episodes of Pandora (SKY Sci Fi) and Emergence (Fox) both look promising.

We started watching Game of Thrones about 2 weeks ago . Were now at series 4 and after the wedding cull hardly anyone is left the we started with ?

 

[full_throttle]

I was ahead of both of my kids on this show. They were both initially too young to watch it but then binged watched it to catch up. We watched the last 2 series together. It was agony as both would ask questions or make statements regarding what they thought would happen to characters. It really is a show where you can not say anything to someone watching it, nothing at all. You just have to tell them to watch it all unfold and enjoy it.

I have to say, it was a huge relief when they caught up and we could discuss theories, characters, parts we did not understand. It is a show you need to talk about with someone after watching an episode.

Or fall asleep in the armchair as I'm inclined to do during the 3rd episode of the evening and just ask the wife who's who when she watches the next day ???

I felt like I went through every emotion with him. The visceral yet aloof nature of their relationship was brilliant and it was so real.
