Watching Atlantic on RTE1. Very good so far. Make you Eurosceptic.

The first two episodes were decent, Ill stick with it.

I'm well into Hotel Beau Séjour,  a paranormal crime mystery set in Belgium, that somehow feels normal enough after a while.
Just don't get too bothered by the contradictions.  Belgium paranormal does not overly extrapolate on the theme, more a baked beans on toast paranormal. I suppose it is telling that the most interesting character in the drama, after the young girl, is a straight up ex-stasi female detective with a sterile personality. Perhaps sterile is over egging the description.

Overall I think the mystery drama is interesting enough,  scores marks for difference.

Moving along nicely it should be a good show. I'm 4 in.

I don't know why but I keep watching "The Ranch" on Netflix. It's horrible don't ever watch it but I can't seem to stop myself. Canned laughter is the absolute worst. . . as long as swearing for the sake of it!!

New Hugh Laurie vehicle called Chance started on Universal channel. Looks like it might be good, Ep 1 was interesting.

More hard to believe for me was that she was Jenny in Forest Gump.

I watched American Gods. Thought it was very good, but by fcuk is it weird. Watched 1 episode of the hand maids tail, not sure if i will go back for more.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Go back and watch the first series, it's in a similar style to Blue Velvet (by the same director) and was a thing back in the day.
Personally I don't care much for David Lynch fantasy horror but i can take  Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks s1.

Looks like Better Call Saul is over...time to watch Breaking Bad again.
