Finished Penny Dreadful. A show about a witch (Eva Green no less), a werewolf, Frankenstein and his monster, Dorian Grey and James Bond err.. an explorer. A mix of trashy horror and prestige drama. Superb acting but sometimes plodding pacing. Third season the weakest but the fourth episode arguably the best of any show. So many contradictions but its uniqueness made it worth it.
Watched the first episode of Ted Lasso about an American NCAA coach hired to a struggling Premier League team. Another weird combination, this time of cringe and endearing. Will persist but unconvinced.
Will watch either the last season of either Line of Duty or Attack on Titan next.

Time After Time (2017)
The premise is fairly silly - the author H.G. Wells actually invents a time machine and his friend, who turns out to be Jack The Ripper, uses it to evade capture from the police and they both end up in modern day New York. But it works, as the casting is perfect - Freddie Stroma as HG, Josh Bowman as Jack, Genesis Rodriguez as a museum curator/love interest. There's genuine chemistry between the three of them and there's fun moments as HG from 1893 discovers the strange features of the 21st century.
Then around ep 6 the writers and directors must have found a stash of crack and it all turned to s**t. The plot went to Walking Dead levels of bad. Characters changed allegiances between episodes. The time machine was disappeared to another time then was inexplicably back in the same scene. It ended up a complete mess but look out for those actors in other material as they did their best.

Hadn't heard of the show but that's a remake of a pretty fun 1970s film with Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen. A shame the show's no good but the movie gets a recommendation!

looks good
It’s an excellent book, I’m interested to see what Barry Jenkins does with it after Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk were both so wonderful.
I read 1/4 of it on a holiday. Not looking to that big incident in that first quarter

I'm through the first few. Not loving it so far, the old guy just seems like a knock off Superman.
For All Mankind - Started watching solely because heard people raving about the season 2 finale. Really enjoyed S1, but actually thought S2 was a bit of stepdown. There's a lot of melodrama in the show, and the season really emphasised a lot of those story lines.
But the finale did actually live up to the hype and is a front runner for best tv episode of the year. Has me excited for what's to come too.

3 eps into The Mosquito Coast.
It is okay so far although not receiving great reviews.
Available on Apple TV and the other usual places.

Just finished watching the 4th episode and boy is this show tough sledding.
The main character is so unlikeable to the point I don't want to watch the show any more (and yes, I understand he is supposed to be unlikeable and was based on a real person [the author's father])
Episode 1 takes your breath away for so many reasons that I won’t spoil. One incredible scene unlike anything I have seen. Beautifully shot and the acting top notch. Hopefully it continues

I look at the dude in Gotham and it only just occurred to me that I should have remembered that he was from The bloody O.C.
If you like time travel, check out Continuum. Subsequent seasons bore out a little bit but it's good for two season.
Just finished first ep. It’s wonderfully acted and directed. The cinematography is splendid. Shame that this kind of stuff actually happened though.

Mindhunter, can’t believe it took me so long to find this. Chilling but very enjoyable
The melodrama drives me bonkers. Just show us more space stuff. All the stuff on earth is boring and cliched and belongs on day time soaps.

Have watched first two eps of Domina new Roman series on Stan. Story of Augustus’ wife Livia. Not bad so far.
