Rather enjoying this series. Lighthearted, nice views, plenty of sunshine. A bit like Death in Paradise without the useless, annoying new PC.

Saw a trailer for Picard on Amazon Prime. Looks nice, with some NextGen and Voyager names making an appearance.

Has Now Found His Wedgie
Watching James May, our man in Japan on Amazon.
A little samey compared with other shows doing the same thing - Jonathon Ross, Joanna Lumley, Sue Perkins et al but quite amusing at times, and also quite embarrassing at times. My wife is Japanese, we like to watch these shows, but do find them a bit cringeworthy in parts. This one with May being a dick at times, and some of the people they go out of their way to meet. It seems the norm to go find the oddest stuff and weirdest people they can for these programs.
We're not under any illusion that they Will do much different, but we do watch in hope.

New series of Sex Education and Always Sunny in Philadelphia are out so I'll be watching those in the near future.

We watched All Aboard! New Zealand by Rail, Sea and Land. One of an occasional series of trip 'documentaries' on BBC Four (an now on iPlayer). 2.5hrs of filming a trip - mainly road, around New Zealand. No voice-over commentary but occasional pop-up facts about places being passed. We found it fascinating reflecting back with astonishment, and some melancholy, to a year ago to when we were in NZ travelling. They travelled the roads that we travelled; went out in the boats we went out in; and did the rail journey that we did. As the filming was done mostly from the perspective of the traveller, we felt that we were back there. It was weird...hardly believing what we did through what the film shows of the magnificent landscape of NZ.
Absolutely stunning filming, not sure how a newbie to NZ would take sitting watching, just watching, this for full 2.5 hrs (though we took 3.5 weeks to do what they show in the 2.5 hrs
). But if you fancy getting a real feel for what NZ is like this delivers in absolute spades - what you see is what you get - at times unbelievably given the landscapes you are seeing.
But if you are planning to go - maybe it would be a bit of a spoiler...

Anyone else watch the latest Silent Witness? I know who did the bulk of the murders, that was shown, but who did the first one? The one placed on the track, staged with a gin bottle. That wasn't explained unless I missed something.

You are correct. I didn't get that either.
But what a propaganda programme that is. As if pathologists would go chasing all over everywhere doing the police job.
Technically brilliant, it is the sort of program I start watching then lose concentration on when it becomes totally unrealistic and , to my mind, too much a vehicle for BBC politics

A warning to anyone watching Cobra on download. Sky have messed up and E3 has a recap on stuff not yet seen previously and turns out it's E6 the final episode! You have to delete them all and permanently delete and then re-download...thought I was going mad and must have slept through all of E2.

Having now watched it I agree.
The dodgy welsh/Scouse accent is horrendous ?

Watched Ep 3 of The Outsider last night - I'm gonna have to watch it again as I don't have much of a clue what's going on - maybe go back and watch part of Ep 2 as well...given one thing in Ep2 that became significant in Ep 3 but I kinda missed it in Ep2. So will go back and check what I thought happened in Ep2.
Split mind over whether I want the 'answer' to be 'real' or 'imaginary'. If you are watching you know what I mean.

Watching Cobra and it’s just not gritty enough - it doesn’t the impact of those US dramas like Jack Ryan for example, will see if the third episode picks up but can myself giving up on it
Seal Team is back and it’s a good watch
The Rookie is also back , same with the Chicago programs

Im struggling with it to, its just a little to British in that it doesn't seem to want to deliver on the grit and darker sides of things that would be occurring.
SEAL team being back is a blessing can finally catch up on what's happening.

Spoiler alert. I think I have seen this one, and nothing happens.

Like others, back on Seal Team and The Rookie. Watched the first episode of Avenue 5 and not grabbing me so far.
On the other hand, the first episode of Picard was excellent.

Funny enough the lack of the extra grit is kind of what I like. Carlyle's flaring nostrils are a tough watch though!!

I have a similar story but this time it was my fault. I downloaded an entire series of Ballers to watch on the flight to Lanzarote and settled down to the watch the first episode. Except I watched the last episode instead!
