Started Yellowstone yesterday, decent so far.
It's very decent, but inevitably turns into soap opera.

Yup. Stunning cinematography. Rip is an amazing protagonist and antagonist in one. The end of s3 is extraordinary. But the storyline as a constant circle of "someone trying to take their land, nearly doing so, then seen off in an epic bloody battle, which is miraculously is never investigated by legal authorities" is really not much of an upgrade on Phil and Grant holding their grip on the Queen Vic.

That said I'll be tuning in again avidly next week. Can't get enough of Rip doing his thing in great wide open.

Inside Man on BBC. 4 part series. What a strange show. A prison/crime series that didn't appear to want to take itself too serious.

On Netflix: Travelin' Band, the story of Creedance Clearwater Revival. Some great old concert footage on it.
What a voice John Fogerty has.
Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered

The Watcher on Netflix. Started out decent I thought. Plenty of guessing as to what was true and what was going on. Totally disappointed with how it ended.

That's good to know. I didn't even like how it started so good to know it doesn't get better.

Persevered right to the end and it petered out terribly with lots of lose ends not finished off but hard to see how they would eek a sequel out of it.

More importantly we're back to the Jungle with a bunch of wannabes ateing anus's and cocks, just another day in Parliament for some it seems...

Milltown Row2

The Bastard son and the devil himself, 3 episodes in and it's been grand, hoping it doesn't all crash down soon but so far so good!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

The Walk-in, 5 part drama about a far right group in England. Stephen Graham as usual puts in a decent performance. Seems everything he does is very watchable.

True story. Hard hitting at times.

Jeepers Creepers

Started The Bear on Star/Disney. Pleasantly surprised so far. Good characters.

Denn Forever

The on BBC about the formation of the SAS looked interesting.  Good soundtrack and comparison with Peaky Blinders.

On episode 5, it is very good. Paddy Mayne is great even if the accent comes and goes

An Watcher

White Lotus on Sky Atlantic, very different but very good.  Second series in Italy very good so far

Rip is class. Love Yellowstone. Can't wait to get into Season 5 now just released. Need to finish up 'The Old Man' with Jeff Bridges first which is also a decent shout. 1883 the Yellowstone spin-off is also a good watch. And looking forward to 1923 being released next month. It's a good idea with these Yellowstone prequels. Hard to get the time to watch without sitting up far to late at night.

Anyone watched Tusla King with Sly Stallone? Seems to be getting some decent reviews. From the same guys as Yellowstone and The Sopranos.
