I went back and watched Game of Thrones from the start again. I thought it was much better as a binge watch as you remembered the histories & back stories.  I realise now I didnt know what was going on some of the time! Peter Dinklage's Tyrion character is a lot more annoying when you are over exposed to him as well.

There was a lot of hype around it and some of the characters which covered a lot of flaws. I think people that binged it enjoyed it more. I read the books so some of the characters didn't look right like Robert and Renly. Series 1 was excellent imho. Some brilliant moments in all series though which made both the show and books worth your time. Tyrion and Ayra are 2 fan favourites that I couldn't warm too.

House of the dragon is well laid out - more like the 1st few series of GOT.

I see there's a new Adam Curtis documentary out from next Thursday really looking forward to it.

As I'm struck down with feckin Covid I had time to watch Hypernormalisation again. It's a long and heavy watch but it's a serious piece of work that can inform a lot of what's going on today.

As an example you tend to forget the amount of disaster movies that came out before 2001!!

The Watcher on Netflix is a pretty good show.

Started 'The Old Man' with Jeff Bridges. Looks promising.

Don't say that you cruel hoor. Episode 2 tomorrow. Without giving away any spoilers was it the preposterousness (is that a word?) of a pensioner "taking care of business"?

Geezus the first 20 mins was dour, slow and depressing. I turned it off then!

I'd have thought that would have played well in Tyrone?

The last 20 mins of that episode is the opposite. I think it's worth persevering with. Thoguh I think it's one of those shows that it's better not to binge watch. The book is supposed to be very good.
