RTE's The Brigade last night, reliving the conditions of  Tom Barry's Flying Column (Kollume) 
One of the mentors referring to past history, said that the FC trained for 6 days in a rural setting and afterwards as a final test of merit, went out to look for 'targets of opportunity'.
Nicely put I thought.

The second season of The Mandalorian has been much better than the first.  In fact, it's probably better than some of the Star Wars films.

Watched Unbelievable last week, it was excellent.  Watched The Killing over the past few nights, was very good although a bit too Murder She Wrote at times.

Milltown Row2

Watched the first instalment of The OA on Netflix

Enjoyed it, bit quirky but if you are into that sort of stuff its grand.. Wife didn't like it, which is brilliant as i can watch it on my own without the distractions!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Raised by Wolves on Sky is pretty good Sci Fi drama.

Which Killing? the Danish one  or the one set in damp grey Seattle.

The first two series of the USA one is different and very decent, though the atmosphere rarely rises above the dark side of grim.
The Danish one was two series of 10 episodes each.  After the first series the tv viewers couldn't wait and demanded that they show the 2nd series immediately.

The Danes sure know how to produce a good drama series

The Killing, The Bridge and Borgen are all top notch

The film "A Hijacking" is cut from the same cloth

Watched three episodes of the BBC's "Once Upon A Time In Iraq" documentary series today, will finish it tomorrow hopefully

Would highly recommend it

That last episode though  >:(

The Expanse - the best Sci-Fi out there. The Wire of it's genre.

New series released on Amazon there before Christmas, not as good as previous (so far). Was reading Amazon are funding 1 more series and that's it.
