The teaser for the next series alone looked like it had a bigger budget than this whole series 5 has, looks like it could be an big one!

The teaser looked good 👍 

I was a little disappointed in season 5 tbh...

Although Oldman plays Lamb to a tee 👍

I was a bit disappointed too compared to the others, it felt like a bit of its spark was missing somehow. I did read a lukewarm series review about it after ep1 though which probably clouded it, won't be doing that again.

Murder Before Evensong 

worth a watch 

only 6 of them

Monster - Ed Gein on Netflix

very much enjoyed it

hadn't heard of him but found it fascinating how he influenced popular culture and other serial killers, made for a very interesting series

but

didn't think much of the ending, almost like they were commemorating him

All the Monster series have done that; I felt sorry for Dahmer and the Menendez Bros were victims- next one will no doubt be the same. There's a fair bit of flex with the characters too

Cant wait till they try it with Albert Fish

yeah, i get there will be flex, apparently he didn't help nail Ted Bundy, but suggestion might be that was just him fantasising

don't remember feeling sorry for Dahmer

just found the whole procession thing with everyone cheering him on at the end as he was walking to the light, and his mum waiting for him, a bit strange and totally unnencessary - don't know what the point to it was

that's pretty much my review of the whole programme.

thinking about it some more, maybe the point is that, as twisted and fucked up as individuals are, then so is the world in that loads of people will celebrate and idolise such people, and are inspired by them - same with every serial killer, they will get fan mail and all that

i guess Ed Gein was probably the most influential of all

Dexter is my favourite serial killer. Killer of serial killers that lad 👏

The Diplomat  

Season 3 

Amazing 

Sky Arts tomorrow night

Not a tv show but the bruce spingsteen film is as vapid as his music. Awful.

Other half loved it though.

Marvellous. Cheers pal I’d missed that

Vince Gilligans new offering - Pluribus. Watched the first episode tonight, will get round to Ep. 2 tomorrow.

Plenty of familiar faces from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. No connection to them however. Sci Fi drama.

Too early to score by me but I note higher than 9/10 so far by those further in than me.

Well last night i watched the NEW Bullseye.

Now i can't make out if it was a tongue in cheek piss take of the original or weather it was really that bad.

Host is ok doing certain presenting jobs but NOT this one, midget doing the scores looks nearly as scruffy as the contestants, the bits of black insulation tape are coming off Bully's prize board, the extra added round is not required and totally failed and the prizes are still crap.

All in all it was AWFUL.

 

 

SLOW HORSES 

Season 5

I watched about 5 minutes before I turned it off. I think it was a piss take / parody type thing. It can't have been real

It's good so far, but I don't understand how they're going to prolong the story to 2 seasons (maybe more)

Just watching it now. It's basically the same as the original, just without Jim Bowen. 🤷‍♂️ It was just as shit back then.

Do they still have a fat lezzer couple pretending to just be 'housemates'?

Could be plenty of ways. E pluribus unum.

Once Upon A Time in Space as part of the BBC's documentary series is exceptional. A must watch.

Trespasses on Channel 4

1970s Northern Irish Catholic teacher shagging Protestant barrister. A little bit cliche heavy but really well acted on the whole and Gillian Anderson plays a very convincing alcoholic widow, well away from her usual roles 

All Her Fault 

worth a watch 

good twist at the end 

The Beast in Me 

well worth a watch 

done all 8 in today
