Been home a lot as my dog recuperates from knee surgery (he's doing well), so have been watching a lot of TV/ Particularly have enjoyed The End of the F***ing World (Netflix), High Maintenance (HBO), and just started Westworld (season 1 on HBO).

Before that, I liked GLOW (Netflix? Or Amazon Prime) and Z: The Beginning of Everything (Amazon Prime).

High maintenance is great. You might like a Netflix show called easy if you enjoyed that one. Z was also really good and I’m sad that they’re not making any more episodes. Glow was fun

Yeah they pulled the plug. That and the last tycoon, the other Fitzgerald project, both got the ax. If you try out easy enjoy

So I watched altered carbon and felt mixed. I think I agreed with the rotten tomatoes review that wished they could see the premise executed by a different show. Premise was really interesting if not mind blowing or super original and the scenery and coustumes were pretty good but the acting and casting was very hit and miss and the dialogue was generic with a strong whiff of this will do. It comes together more so in the second half of the season and becomes much more watchable imo but overall the show lacked some style subtlety and the detail to really make the show pop. Features a bunch of sci fi references. Blade runner neromancer Brazil and even a stronge shadow of the empire strikes back. That said if you do watch expect more Johnny pneumonic than anything mentioned above

Brilliant italian political drama followed by "1993" and so on. Features music from the year with this impressive soundtrack to lift us a finger's breadth above the turf and hold us suspended.

One episode into this swedish/danish terrorist drama being probably one of many inspired by the hit tv series The Bridge. It plays out in Stockholm and Copenhagen as a warhead is found at the Gothenburg harbour inside a truck. Some faces from The Bridge and Modus feature in this one and with the first episode over it looks like the action can begin. I could not believe my eyes when I saw how old Tova Magnusson looks these days and it delights my false heart.

Dirty money. A Netflix doc series about financial fraud and corruption. First episode was about the vw emission scandal and the s one about Scott Tucker’s illegal payday loan empire

Borderland

Norwegian crime drama based on a novel about a two brothers both working as cops where one of the brothers happens to kill a man. Never before have I seen a tv series that so easily captures your attention and not taking a lot of time to get into. Familiar faces for those who have seen a lot of norwegian tv series in recent years and this really promises a lot in what seems to be a hectic cover up drama.

A great Sunday replacement for The Bridge that said farewell a week ago.

The Lawyer

Swedish/danish drama about a cop and a lawyer who wants to know who killed their parents. This was written by the man behind The Bridge, Hans Rosenfeldt, and also real life lawyer Jens Lapidus famous for his books that turned into a few films that kicked off the career for actor Joel Kinnaman.

This must be the best camera work ever and I dunno what kind of cameras were used but the picture quality was mind blowing. Many famous faces from Sweden and Denmark and I look forward to the other episodes after having watched the first one.

This is a politically correct meltdown following the cops in Stockholm. They only show white people and the odd white person with a foreign accent behaving badly. Voice over done by snowflake and anti-white extremist Hasse Aro which explains why they never show the kind of reality that every day dominates the news here.
This is the perfect example of the political correct society we are now all part of and that we must all fight for our lives to get rid of.
Better dead than braindead!

The rest of dirty money was great. The valeant drug company episode was good but the hsbc bank to big to prosecute was great. Ended with a one and a half hour episode on trump inc. made by Alex Gibney who has a good rep. Now watching the new Chris rock stand up in Netflix

Derry Girls is Channel Four’s newest sitcom. It is set in 1994 in Londonderry and relates the tale of a group of teenage girls and English male cousin navigating a strict girls’ Catholic school and pre-Good Friday Accord life in general.

The usual characters are there: The one who thinks she’s posher than she actually is, the idiot, the nervous one, the slut, the outsider, so no great surprises there. I suppose liking this is down to whether you like Irish humour which I do unless it is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. The acting is good, the script is crisp enough if not laugh out loud funny. I quite enjoyed it, particularly the daft one. Four Barleycorns.

Endeavour returned last night for its fifth series. Set in Oxford, the murder capital of Western Europe, and its surrounding hoodz this is, along with the occasional Maigret, currently the best detective show on British television. ITV seen to have cornered the market in this slow, almost glacial style of television. I love it to bits. While the BBC seem to prefer PC box ticking before they read the script this instead does things the right way round. All the principles are outstanding with particular praise due for Roger Allam and Anton Lesser. Just a great, warm, Sunday night programme.

I watched Super Bowl LII. I can’t say I was always of fan of what we used to call Gridiron, but like rugby, it has grown on me in recent years. Probably as my love of football has waxed and waned. (I watched ten minutes of a Barcelona match the other night. These halfwits have taken to covering their mouths to prevent lip reading. Newsflash, morons. We. Don’t. Care.)

Anyway, great game, deserved winners in the Eagles, but presenting the trophy to the owner is a truly, truly odd thing to foreign eyes.


At some point: Why I like Mountain Men. Not an admission of being a homosexual, but an appraisal of the reality show that bolsters your faith in human kind.

I have to take you to task over Endeavour, Mr B. Context statement: I am a hopeless crime show addict. I like nothing better than settling down with a good murder of an evening and I even watch the rubbish ones. I still think Morse is the yardstick by which all others are measured, and Endeavour has got so much right: it looks fabulous, period details spot on, casting perfect, lovely touches with the younger Strange and DeBryn, PLUS John Thaw's real-life daughter, lovely Barrington Pheloung score and yes, trilbies off to Roger Allam. But... ah, but... the plots are bonkers. They start out so well and are always so full of promise, but the big reveal is like some random scene that's been shoehorned into the end of it with conclusions that no rational person could have arrived at, given the available evidence. John Thaw's Morse slowly unwrapped itself, dropping clues along the way and if you were very clever (and I never was), you could piece it together about the same time as he did just in time for the showdown. In Endeavour, after chasing all sorts of wild geese for an hour and a half, Morse will suddenly blurt out the whole improbable punchline over a pint while the others look on in wonder. It's just not on. Only three Peppermints from me.

I do like both series, Morse and Endeavour. It’s the atmosphere.
The plots are always a mystery to me. It just adds up to the atmosphere.
I just think Morse had his very humorous moments while Endeavour is more serious.
Somehow I expected it to be the other way around as older Morse would be even more bitter or cynical during the eventful years of his career.

I prefer morse code. The british truly manage to make any tv show or film look more dull than a stroll down the street of some english town. My brother always complained about the british tv and film makers failing at things like light settings and that and over the years I have indeed notice they are shite at it or do it on purpose.
Mind you, a population with wooden teeth and wind up computer keys made of wood at the back perhaps means they don't care so much how their tv series and films look like on the screen (as if they have a screen).
LOL

Watched the last episode of "1992" tonight which is of course the first season followed by 1993 and the yet not released 1994. Many online have been fooled into believing the first season is made up of 8 episodes but it's 10 and so I had to watch the last two with english subtitles.
Had to work hard to find them cause searching for a tv series called 1992 is not easy. Finally found the last two episodes 9 and 10 and if anyone haven't seen it I can recommend it and it is free and legal with english subtitles here:

Just choose episode from the drop down menu under screen and go for the openload server beside it.

The latest episode of Teen Mom OG was intense and very tragic cause Catelynn headed off in a rush to rehab again after admitting having spent the entire day thinking about every way to kill herself. Tyler's dad was sent to Texas on drug rehab on his expense and now he was left to manage their daughter on his own.

Catelynn calls her mom to tell her what's happened:

Expect a pretty intense episode next week and when Amber is the only one doing well you know the others really are struggling.

MTV paused the show this week after last weeks suicide shock and Farrah hating on the MTV crew. They will start a new show side by side with Teen Mom OG called "Young and Pregnant". I suspect they are having issues with Farrah over the contract and she's close to being thrown out from the show.

Instead they showed "Being Britanny" about Briana's sister and she went to Seattle to see her mates. This special programme about her featured no white people and those seen in background had been blurred out.

LOL

MTV is anti white some say and those not white says it is pro white. Thing is MTV don't care they just wanna make money from doing shows that generate income from commercials.

Don't swallow your bubble gum snowflakes!

Ubåtsfallet (The U-boat case)

Danish documentary about rocket man and submarine builder Peter Madsen who killed and raped and dismembered swedish journalist Kim Wall in the submarine he built himself.

This happend in August of last year and I've just seen the first episode and it was creepy seeing him on an old video showing the inside of the submarine. I wonder if the danes dare do a movie about it but me and Pilla agreed who should play Madsen after we saw the danish movie "Mens vi lever" this weekend.

Actor Paw Henriksen has mostly played shy and quiet characters and it is time he stepped up and went full psycho inside a submarine that could become epic.

Paw Henriksen:

They revealed that Peter Madsen was competing with another Copenhagen project to launch a rocket out at sea and that he gave up that dream close to when he murdered Kim Wall. Peter Madsen was married but in an open relationship and used to entertain loads of women onboard his submarine. One of those women showed her mobile phone and messages from Peter Madsen instructing her how to dress and apparently he went shopping with his women to make them wear sexy stockings and certain make up and high heels and so on.

Madsen interviewed by a journalist after being picked up by coast guard after deliberately sinking his submarine out at sea having spread Kim Wall's body about in 6 pieces.

The trial in Copenhagen against Peter Madsen started this week and apparently he had joked with his close friends about commiting the perfect murder. When they found him he had her blood on his nose. He had googled how to behead a woman.
This man really is the best example of how a eccentric genius will always flip. He must have felt as if he was surrounded by useless people nowhere near his capacity to achieve something.
