I finally got to watch it and binged the whole thing yesterday. Certainly very enjoyable and up to the standard of Hill House and Midnight Mass. I can only wonder at just how Carla Gugino stays so impossibly beautfiul! I used to read some Poe as part of the various horror compendiums that used to be around. I'd forgotten The Black Cat was even a Poe story. That's probably my favourite of his stories and is used for episode 4.

Finished The Watcher. It was quite good but petered out to a rather unsatisfactory conclusion. I'll give it a 6/10

Vigil Season 2 (6 episodes)
From the Line Of Duty writers, the second season moves from being on board a submarine to being army/middle east based conflict with special reference to drone warfare. Very enjoyable and with echoes of the Jack Nicholson film A Few Good Men. 8/10

I did, erm, watch that, must have been one of the last things on Netflix I did. It's pretty decent maybe a 7/10.

Yes, it's certainly not got that Ragnar effect, but it actually turned out quite well as it went along and by the end it was an exciting romp. Another series to come too - which is nice. Just started with The Watcher with Naomi Watts. Reviews aren't great but hey, who knows right?

Platform 7
Based on a well loved book of the same name (I've not read it) , this is about the ghost of a young woman who is haunting a train station where she died. It's very much a mystery drama and not meant to be scary at all. Touches on some important issues but feels a little unsubtle at times and in the end fell into the trap of being too much feminst preaching. I liked it but didn't love it although at 4 episodes it doesn't outstay its welcome. Also features the great actor Phil Davies although I felt his part was under cooked somewhat and just a device for her to be able to explain things to another ghost so we understand the plot. 7/10

^ not as good as Michael Hirst's Vikings which it's 'inspired' by. I think I got through about 2 episodes of Season 2 and that was enough. Another reason why I cancelled my Netflix subscription.
The BBC (and later Netflix) viking series The Last Kingdom though is brilliant. Netflix did a great job beefing that up.

Bosch: Legacy (Season 2)
Starring Titus Welliver, this is a bit of a throw back to old seventies detective dramas, I especially love the fact that they take some real care with the theme music and titles ( I never skip!). The 'Legacy' bit is that Bosch's daughter Maddie (played by Maddie Lintz) joins the LAPD so we see her story develop alongside his new job working as a private detective. Also features Mimi Rogers as the lawyer Honey Chandler. Like her very much! A show with it's own style and rhythm. 8/10

^ You aren't missing much tbh. We finished Beacon 23 last night and the last 2 episodes were rushed and confusing. A series 2 has been mooted already - it needs to improve though. 6/10

Hi, Definitely awesome, though it has a very sad ending. That man should not be teary eyes ... the amount of work alone is something that most artists will never reach in several lifetimes. Po ... I tip my hat to you, and I'll make sure and smile and say thank you a few times when it is time for you to embark on your new journey! The main sad thing about it all is that it was not able to show that the "art" that meant so much for 30/40 years, is no longer "viable" as a tool to help the artists. Today's independence via all the music tools and DAW's means that no one is gonna think of an artist much ... cue up the picture and the meaningless idea!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

^ It's not streamed in the UK yet. It's on MGM+ in the US - so a VPN is required.

Just finished The Fall of the House of Usher. And what a TV show it is. There are so many nods to Edgar Allen Poe stories it's amazing they could get them all in. A wonderful script and excellent acting. It's easily a 10/10 for me.
Beacon 23 - Sc-Fi with Lena Heady. "A man living in the 23rd Century works at a remote "lighthouse" in space that serves as a beacon to help passing ships." It's OK, but the reviews on IMDb are quite poor. I'm liking it so far. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9174724/

^ I'll have to catch Cunk, you know something will be funny when the very thought of the format makes you laugh.

Finally got around to watching all of Cunk on Britain and Cunk on Earth. Absolutely tear-inducing hilarious. Also enjoyed The Great for the first couple seasons.

A couple more
Minx Season One Produced by Starz, this is about a (presumably) fictional feminist porn magazine that launched in the 60's. Stars the British actress Orphelia Lovibond who is usually known for playing stuck up/entitled English women. Here she is playing 'American' and is a bit uptight. I enjoyed it despite of (or maybe even because!) of the explicit male and female nudity. There is even ** shock of shocks** an erect penis in one episode. 8/10 The Serial Killer's Wife (4 episode mini series) The title seems to be a spoiler (or is it?!). Stars the beautiful Engish actress Annabel Scholey who is best known for Medici The Magnificient and Brittania. She is very good but the ending seemed a bit ridiculous. 6/10

Yeah it was the The Haunting Of Hill House (not The House on Haunted Hill lol). I thought that had some strong emotional drama, the scene where the 2 sisters are driving and then have to stop was incredibly good and brought a tear to my eye. Midnight Mass might actually be the best horror TV series ever made. Again some strong drama to make the horror all the more real. I got a bad feeling about Netflix when they threw a ton of money at Harry and Meghan. Terrible idea especially as they were already cutting back on investment generally.
