Finished S2 of Dark Winds.
Tidied up reasonably well, rather than the rushed final 5 mins, pretty much the whole last ep tied loose ends, and looks like it could genuinely end there too.

Just started Wayward.....definitely quite compelling so far.
Not sure why the lead cop is transexual, certainly not a common thing in 2003 ( fuck I feel old ) you kinda forget after awhile though. They/them/she/he/it is a good enough actor.
We've chopped through Dark Winds, Black Rabbit and now this in pretty quick succession. Was chatting with the girl, when was the last truly outstanding series that went on for ages and was brilliant. You know sort of Breaking Bad/Game of Thrones type good ?
I honestly can't think of one.

@MN5 Bosch yourself up side the head and get run over by some Slow Horses.
Both are favourites even the spin offs

Had a quick sqizz.
Are they really THAT good ?
Gary Oldman should be renamed Gary Fatman.
I would almost dare someone not to like them

By that criteria....
Bosch - good, but not brilliant. (IMO)
Mayor of Kingstown - guilty pleasure, not brilliant; and only 3 seasons - not exactly "ages"
Slow Horses - brilliant, but - not exactly been running for "ages". (Edit: just looked it up - already on S05? That matches Breaking Bad... so yeah -
)
Other contenders:
Fargo
Ozark - 4 seasons? -

Ozark - 4 seasons?First couple of seasons of Fargo were outstanding. The last one not so much.
Ozark lost it a bit at the end too.

Just finished The Newsreader on BBC iPlayer. 6 Ep focussing on the fictional workings of an Aussie news channel in the 1980s as it covers actual events like Azaria Chamberlain, Chernobyl, the AIDS crisis etc
Nostalgic and v enjoyable. Great music and shot really well. Recommended.
I went to work in Oz about a month after the first series starts. Captured the vibe superbly.
Third series just out is an excellent finale.

Monster: the Ed Gein story
Great performance from that guy from Sons of Anarchy in the lead role but pretty shite so far. Just boring and creepy ( like the man himself ) I’m sure one scene of him beating off while wearing his mums underwear was enough, we’ve had two so far and I’m not even finished episode two.
Might bail on this one
-
House of Guiness. Outstanding so far.
-
@MN5 we are 2 eps in, it sure is some tough watching, for the sheer gruesome/messed up nature of it all, more so as it is true.
Interesting to find out the links between Gein & Psycho, have to think Gein inspired other films too, and bad as that may sound.
Anyone else watched Kims Convenience? I started this the other night, seems promising.

Yeah he had rookie numbers in terms of serial killers ( well, rookie CONFIRMED numbers anyway ) but what a crackpot. Existing mental issues, losing his Mum, isolation on the farm, impressionable reading material.......it was a perfect recipe for him to end up as fucked up as he was.

Alien Earth.
Good series, loved the introduction of the new aliens as well.
the octopus eye is brilliant, and better that they are enemies of THE Alien too -

the octopus eye is brilliant, and better that they are enemies of THE Alien tooPromised my boys we're going to binge this and getting time for the three of us together has been tough so I still haven't watched a single episode yet.
The Alien universe is awesome, I love that the Corporation and David are just as bad if not worse than the Aliens themselves.
Like Star Wars the originals are the best ( I mean Alien was next level and Aliens was arguably even better ) and then they launched the prequels which seemed to be real love/hate affairs ( I was in the former camp )
The whole "David" saga has been left open, I think they need a movie to bridge that gap and find out what his ultimate fate ends up being.
