TV shows you most recently finished watching

Finished The Curse, a very weird fake reality TV show starring Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder as a couple who are both financing and overseeing the roll out of modern eco homes to a New Mexico community. Stone's character is a spoilt little rich girl who desperately seeks affirmation for what she is doing to a point that it becomes quite uncomfortable and cringeworthy. The almost stand alone final episode is a remarkable feat of technical filiming. Totally surreal. No idea how to rate this but I like to watch things that are different than the usual. This is definitely that!

Others I've just finished

For All Mankind S4

Now up to date with this alternative universe space race saga (sorry that's a terribly clumsy descrption but don't want put out any spoilers). Generally a law of diminishing returns, this is 7/10 at best.

Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters S1

I liked this a lot, could have gone very wrong but great casting (including Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt) plus a good script that respects the original Godzilla character, on top of which a decent budget, makes this work. Enjoyable and surprisingly emotional in the end. 8/10

Very enjoyable action stuff although I've never read Lee Child's books (on which the character and stories is based) so can't compare it to that. The lead actor here is the very tall well built Alan Ritchson. I've seen him in a few other things inc playing the superhero ''Hawk'' in the DC comics series Titans which I also enjoyed a lot. He could be the new Dwayne Johnson if his career is managed properly. 8/10

TV's essentially are just big computer screens. Most of them have streaming apps built in although I prefer to use the Apple TV box thingy which is a powerful device for streaming. Of course it has Apple TV at the front but also a vast store of apps that you can use. I stream everything now including free to air UK services (BBC etc) and a few pay packages (apple, paramount and prime). In recent years there has been a tendancy for streaming to move towards ad based services and that worries me, you will have to pay extra to remove ads. Amazon Prime is doing this and it's a slippery slope. I could end up going back to regular TV and recording things using a personal video recorder (ie T-Vo) but I was hoping I had left that behind. Ultimately it's all going to be too expensive. Netflix was the dream but they couldn't make the numbers work so prices go up and output goes down. I see that as a continuing trend. Perhaps I will just need to stop watching TV and get a life lol
