Tour de France is taking up a lot of my viewing at the moment.
I am also onto season 5 of The Good Wife. The show seemed to have a tonal/style shift in season 4. It's neither better nor worse, just slightly different. I can't really explain it. |

Just because, I watched the last season of Pokémon. Final 12 episodes with Ash. Weird at how he can still be 10 years old after so much journeying around the world.
Was some wholesome stuff... traveled with Misty and Brock the OGs again, as was fitting for the final episodes.... |

I'm on to the final season of The Good Wife. It feels like it has lost its way now, but remains stronger than you would expect it to be. I think that is down to the change in tone/style in season 5, which gave it a spark life. However, that has now waned. I'll probably watch its spin-offs, The Good Fight and Elsbeth.
I've nearly finished fourth season of The Boys. It has been kind of something and nothing. |

I need to re-watch season 1 of GOT: House of the Dragon, before I start season 2.
The Critical Drinker has also recommended a show, set in 16th century Korea, about samurai and zombies. I feel like that will be a winning combination. |

I watched that Alan Carr comedy about growing up the other night. Surprisingly good, but then Alan Carr is undeniably funny. I’m just amazed they found a kid ugly enough.

Watched The Last Samurai again. 7/10 because of Tom Cruise's middle tooth.

Started Kaleidoscope. Watched 1 ep. I'll stick with it but i strongly dislike there being a random ep order for each viewer. The idea of it annoys me.

I finished The Good Wife, and I'm now on the final season of The Good Fight. I've liked this spin-off series, even though the seasons during the Trump administration leaned hard into the Trump Derangement Syndrome and far-left identity politics. At least they explored the issues inside out and refrained from too much lecturing. However, I don't think this spin-off will age as well as The Good Wife, due to the identity politics.
Once The Good Fight is over, I'm going to watch the other Good Wife spin-off, Elsbeth, which is apparently like Columbo. I re-watched season 1 of the GoT: House of the Dragon, and then proceeded to watch season 2. Whilst the second season remained watchable, it seemed to meander for much of it. Hopefully, season 3 will have more impetus to it. |

I also tried to watch Those About to Die, but I didn't go beyond the first episode. It was just naff: the script, the acting, the pacing, everything.
If I want a good Rome-related drama, I'll stick to Rome, I Claudius or Spartacus. |

Binged a show called “Mr Inbetween” a few weeks ago. Brilliant.
It’s an Australian crime comedy about a hit man and each episode is twenty minutes long and tighter than I thought possible. I recommend it to everyone. |

House Of The Dragon was fairly shit, season one a lot less so than season two but it’s not great. Paddy Considine deserved some support that could live up to his qualities, he was a man amongst amoeba. Season two lacked any gravitas at all, Matt Smith is dreadful.

Been watching Heels since it went up on Netflix. I'm invested enough to keep watching. Now I'm understanding why Stephen Amell got some actual wwe matches a while back.

Trying to get through Horizon: An American Saga part 1.
it's 3 hours, at least on Max. It's a LOT like 1883, and there's even some of the same actors in the movie. I get why they shit on it in theatres. There wasn't a TON of advertising. They moved it to Max quickly in hopes it would get exposure and parts 2 and 3 will do better in theatres. Gotten about halfway through it, it's pretty good. |

Watching the Mr. McMahon doc. Halfway through and other than a couple of moments here and there, I haven't learned anything new. Been more of a "history of wwe" than Vince. Yeah, they're asking him questions like how he felt when X left for WCW but I'm watching to learn about Vince, not relive the Monday Night Wars.

I watched the Franklin series with Michael Douglas, which was fine. Douglas was good in it, but otherwise, it was something and nothing.
I've also finished Elsbeth. I found it rather underwhelming; a poor man's Columbo. I'm currently watching season 5 of Arrow. I'm sure I've already seen this season, but I don't mind rewatching it before moving on to season 6. Felicity Smoak remains ridiculously hot. I'm deciding whether I should finally watch The Ring of Power. The Drinker has ripped that series to shreds, and I trust his judgement on these matters. |

S5 of Arrow was when i stopped watching it. When the billionaire driven to vigilanteism due to rampant government incompetence and out of control crime started proselytizing about gun control and as mayor enforced a gun ban on an entire metropolitan, while might i add having a crew of vigilantes two of which actively used firearms, my eyes rolled so far back into my head i nearly had a seizure.

The preachy, ham-fisted gun control episode was tiresome, but I largely ignored it.

It was just jarringly tone deaf to the shows own premise. Any other setting id have groaned and rolled my eyes.

I'm coming to the end of Arrow season 6. I've quite liked this season, even if it has featured a lot of Katie Cassidy, who can't act for shit.
I re-watched season 1 of Fargo. I'd forgotten how good the first season was, and how much fun Billy Bob Thornton had in it. I've started the second season, which I remember not particularly liking the first time round. I don't think I've seen seasons 3 onwards. I'm thinking of re-watching The Expanse, until it is time for the second seasons of The Silo and Arcane. I also need to watch The Penguin. |

As I needed a dystopian fix, I decided to try out Snowpiercer. I've watched the first three episodes and I'm enjoying it. We'll see where it goes.

All caught up to present day on Superman and Lois..... Season 4 definitely feeling weird via them axing all the main cast sans the main Super-family..... the supporting cast has shown up, but not in every episode, and sometimes some show up and you wonder why others wouldn't be there....
Have also noticed a distinct rise in flashbacks... I guess with a slashed budget and only so many actors to use you have to stretch it out.... But overall S4 has been good I guess... obviously some v emotional moments... and badass Lex Luthor.... |

I'm at the beginning of Snowpiercer season 2. I actually quite like this show. It is nothing special, but it keeps my attention, unlike series 7 of Arrow. Not even the hotness of Felicity Smoak can keep my attention on what is going on in that show. I've finished season 7, but I don't think I'll bother with the final one.

First half of season 7 was strong with Oliver in jail, and the best crossover. The 2nd half with his sister really put a damper on that season.

Bad Monkey was very good. One of those sun set lazy detective deals with a strong comedic base and some very light black patches that tease the “Fargo” fan inside.
Rob Delaney is excellent in it, especially at the end. |

New season of WWDITS is pretty sweet too. I think the first three seasons were so funny that season four got away with being a bit pants without too many people noticing.

Penguin wrapped up. Brilliant show, I'd watch it again. Still can't believe that Colin Farrell is playing the lead. I never would have known if there weren't credits.
New Yellowstone started. Giving it a few weeks to simmer so I can binge it. |

I binge-watched an eleven-part documentary on Star Trek over the weekend. Roddenberry seems like he was a right arsehole. Otherwise, very interesting.
