Eric. A six episode series on Netflix. Really good. It has Benedict Cumberbatch, one of my favorite actors. It tells the story of a nine year old boy disappearing on his way to school, in New York. (And, it takes place sometime in the 1980's). But, as the story unfolds, it's about so much more than a boy getting lost. I don't want to reveal anything here, but I would highly recommend it. Great story, great acting, and really good filming and directing.

Hi,

Ann Rice's best work is in her bunch of Erotica novels, many of which also take on a bit of pornography. 

There are some important things here ... it takes "vampirism" away from its religious BS, and all of a sudden the stories are more interesting and take on different directions, than what we manage to find all the time in every danged vampire story ... always the same thing!

"Interview with a Vampire" would be way better, if it went full blast into the erotic style of hers. It would be a homosexual thing, but then that's like saying we never enjoyed the women thing in any of the vampire novels, going way back to Sheridan Le Fanu some 200+ years ago!

Hi,

Wow ... I definitely would like to see this ... the movie by Nicolas Roeg was excellent, even though there were some major cuts that took out a lot of the music material ... which I think was really good, per the albums that came out at the time ... and probably more music that we have not heard yet, or never will!

The fudging video is not available to watch in the West Coast (Amazon) ... gawd I hate some of this crap sometimes ... it hurts the art really bad!

Manhunt 2024 7 episodes
About the events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, interesting to learn about Andrew Johnson's presidency as he tries to put the brakes on America's reconstruction post the abolishment of slavery and the end of the civil war. The key character in this drama though is Lincoln's staunch alley Edwin Stanton (played by Tobias Menzies who also played Prince Philip in The Crown) who held the office Secretary Of War and goes up against Johnson as well as leading the manhunt for Lincoln's killer John Wilkes Booth. 7/10

The Red King 2024 6 episodes
Set on a small Welsh island, this has Wicker Man vibes all over it. I enjoyed the creative writing, strong acting and satisfying ending. 9/10

Tree On A Hill 2024 6 episodes
Another Welsh located TV drama, this is even more weird than The Red King and is centred around a very ordinary midddle aged couple who commit a crime, allbeit accidentally, and then find themselves getting in deeper trying to cover it up. Quirky and fun. 8/10

Sweet Tooth Season 3 (the last one). The first series was great, the second not so much. This final season is a return to form and seems to be heading to a satisfactory conclusion.

Finished series 3 of Sweet Tooth last night. A good conclusion - I liked it (se02 notwithstanding). 8/10 overall.

A 3 part documentary/drama on UK Ch4 - The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot. 

This is a true story about a woman who was supposed to die
In 2015, skydiver Victoria Cilliers miraculously survived a 4,000-foot fall to the ground when both of her parachutes failed on a jump. It soon becomes clear that this 'accident' was actually attempted murder... and her husband Emile is the prime suspect.

Hear from Victoria in her first in-depth TV interview in this innovative True Crime docudrama.

The drama elements are done in a very strange way and 3 episodes are maybe a bit too long. Fascinating stuff though.

^ That happened quite near to where I come from (Swindon) so was a big local story at the time. 

Just finished Insomnia, the psychological drama from Paramount starrig Vicki McLure from Line Of Duty. It got very silly in the end. Felt like the last couple of episodes had been rewritten and re-shot to make it punchier although that may not have been the case. For the first 6 episodes I would have been looking at an 8 or 9/10 but in the end 7/10.

currently watching Presumed Innocence and Dark Matter. Both make Wednesday nights a real pleasure when new episodes drop!

Dark Matter - I'm 2 episodes through so far and I can't wait to see the rest and how the story unfolds. Sc-fi, parallel universes is definitely my type of show. It's very well done and reminiscent of the superb Counterpart, which was cruelly axed after 2 seasons.

Stars Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly:

^ My sister recommended Counterpart but I couldn't get into it.

Jennifer Connelly's presence is well felt in the later episodes of Dark Matter. BTW quite suprised to find that she is 57 years old. WOW!

Just finished Dark Matter. Loved it - an excellent tv show and a decent ending too. It's a one off so there will be no further series. 8.5/10

^ It seems that a second season is possible although it was originally intended to be a limited series. I hadn't realised it was stopping at episode 9 and was going to wait until next week to watch 9&10 together lol. Will watch the season finale later today I expect.

^ Yes I saw that about a second season. I hope not as it would have a lot to live up to. Anyway I'm frothing at the bit for series 2 of Severance - absolutely brilliant TV.

Started on season 12 of American Horror Story called Delicate today. I totally forgot about this for some reason but the start is promising - it's the first season to be based on a novel (all the previous are written from scratch).

Absolute bonkers last episode of Dark Matter. Could have been funny but somehow remained grounded. Overall 8/10

Just finished The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. I'm not sure how much I liked this. Impressed with a lot of it as they concentrate on characters but the end seemed just a bit too 'nice' for the overall subject matter. I was expecting something a bit darker. At the end of the day for me the series peaked with Jeffrey Dean Morgan's exceedingly nasty character Negan. I think he has been the best actor to appear in it. No suprise to see that he is now popping up in the very brilliant The Boys for Season 4.

Fallout 2024 (8 episodes)
I binged most of this over one night and stayed up to 1.30 in the morning to finish it. Easily one of the best things I've ever watched. Scary but funny at times and downright worrying most of the time. Jonathan Nolan ansd Lisa Joy have done a great job. Way better than Westworld IMO (their other big project before this) . 10/10

^ Yes, Fallout was brilliant. Here, I've got the last 2 episodes of AHS series 12 to go - but likely delayed to carry on watching the football tonight and tomorrow.
