New Umbrella Academy is very good - if you liked the rest anyway…
Watched Inside Man on Netflix last night, quite liked it, and the format (4 one hour episodes) is perfect for a mini binge-watch session.
Started watching Terminator Zero last night. 25 min episodes.
I’m 4 in and it is really good so far.
4 was a bit “woah” where you get to really see the direction they are taking it in.

Is it a story?
In my head I presumed it was one of them Star Wars jobs with each episode a different theme.
After seeing a trailer on The One Show, cracked into the first couple of episodes of The Tower on ITVX last night. Haven’t watched anything on ITV after the hilarious finale of Trigger Point but the cast was too good to not give it a go. It was actually pretty good and we’re definitely going to finish the first series, see where it goes before going into 2 & 3.
Yep. Give it a shot…

Watched the first 3 eps over the weekend, very enjoyable.
Quite enjoying Kaos on Netflix. I know my mythology well but I don’t think you necessarily need the context for everything.
Some clever/topical stuff in it - post-war Trojans being refugees, treated like shit, causing civil disobedience etc
+1 for Terminator Zero. Never really bothered with anime much before but it works well for the story.

As someone else said, it’s a bit weird that the terminator can kill the cops on the bridge easily but seems to struggle to batter the woman sent back to save the dude. He punches her a few times and she just puts up with it. Surely he’s like 5 x silverback gorilla strong? Unless she turns out to be part cyborg (only on ep 3)?
Yeah there’s a few leaps of faith but overall it’s mint.
Just finished it this eve, pretty bleak ending. But pretty much on par with the bleakness of the whole series.
Really enjoyed this new take on the Terminator universe.
Hmm yeah in the original film the idea was if you got within reach of the terminator then you’d get crushed to death so it takes a bit of the angst out of it

Got covid so managed to catch up on some shows.
‘We Own This City’
10/10. A must for any fans of The Wire. Jon Bernthal is very good in it.

lol.
I’ve had all the files of that series on a drive with the idea of watching it whilst travelling.
Had it since it came out.
No one has talked about it, so yesterday I deleted it.
Now, it gets mentioned.
It’s decent, defo worth a watch even just to see some familiar faces from The Wire out on the Baltimore streets again
I’ve started it twice but it just didn’t grab me. Might give it another go one day.
Kaos on Netflix, finished it last night, Jeff Goldblum typically good, all seems to be a set up for a second series but enjoyable with a good cast and a half decent take on Greek mythology

Sat through the new rings of power the other night. So boring.
I quite like how twisted and jumbled all the stories are. I would’ve enjoyed it if they’d just used all the original stories in a modern setting with those actors but they’ve really changed a lot and I’m here for it
Started watching The 8 Show on Netflix. Very similar to squid game but shorter and more cerebral torment with flashes of humour than gore.
