TV shows you most recently finished watching

On Amazon Prime are you watching The Devils Hour? This could be right up your street. First season was a bit weird but the second has just started and it's brilliant (so far). It stars Peter Capaldi and Jessica Raine who are both great in it. My brother has been telling me to try Apple TV; it's about time I do. I have wanted to watch Foundation; loved the novels. Thanks for the recommendation, I do now plan to watch it. For one thing I love Peter Capaldi. He was a magnificent Doctor (my fave of the modern Doctors), amazing character in Torchwood, and Malcolm Tucker is such a "great" character. Ah, I wish he and Moffat had stayed longer with Doctor Who. And Jessica Raine has a Doctor Who connection. I did start on a new series with Prime called The Feed. Rather too soap opera-y to me. Always seem to like David Thewlis, who is in it (another of my favourite actors). I like weird, depending on the weird. Weird is how people would describe many of my tastes. I adore Twin Peaks, and my wife stopped watching it for getting too weird.

Andor

Dystopic and thoroughly mature, Andor is a departure from the typical Star Wars adjunct in its somber atmosphere, taking place on the heels of the Empire's takeover of the capital planet Coruscant and the gradual usurpation of the galaxy.   It follows young Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in his struggle to find his sister, his realization that the evils of Emperor Palpatine's military domination will not be defeated without a fight, and the sacrifices required for active resistance.   As a new & tiny Rebel Alliance begins to form, trust is sparse and heroism is a rare commodity.   

Season Two is scheduled for 2025, takes place just before Rogue One & Episode IV, promises to be equally well-written and run by creator Tony Gilroy and features a truly outstanding international cast including Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Faye Marsay.   Recommended.

Started series 1 of The Devils Hour last night - pretty good.

Disclaimer

Finished the second series of The Devil's Hour. Really good and a final series to come next year.

The Great Season 3

Baptiste   Season Two

Sober drama about immigrants in Budapest and how they interact with nationals and British citizens. A spinoff of The Missing from 2014, it follows French ex-detective Julien Baptiste after a brain operation and the Dutch police who enlist him to resume his work in order to help solve a sex-trafficking case which leads to a mysterious group of anti-immigrant terrorists.   Unusual for a BBC series in its hard-edged realism and stark look at societal pressures involving non-native residents and the resentments that develop.
