I am digging Designated Survivor....hope the feeling lasts. 

 

In other news The Fall third season is beginning tonight on bbc2. 

Too many tv series all at once!!

 

But Criminal Minds comes to the fore . they got rid of one sexy man, and replaced him with the sexy man from CSI Miami.

 

Patsy happy!!

The life of Neil Baldwin, a man who has shrugged off his perceived limitations to live an incredible life.

A compilation of found footage featuring music, interviews, and stories of The Beatles' 250 concerts from 1963 to 1966.

Designated Survivor has got me  a little hooked, not very action packed but I want to know how the series progresses 

 

Watched Aftermath also, new series, the jury is out on it....I will watch a few more before I decide.

 

Season 2 of Quantico is out, much on the same lines of the first 

 

Latest Season of NCIS LA has also started

 

The jury is also out on The Exorcist Series and Van Helsing Series, I will need to see a few more before I decide

Marvellous.... & it was just that, loved it made all the better as it's (largely) all true

Quarry on Cinemax is pretty good, ~ 1972 Memphis, from the Max Allan Collins books.

 

Longmire Season 5 dropped on Netflix.

 

Luke Cage is due tomorrow on Netflix.

 

Son of Zorn is silly but fun.

 

Heard some good reviews on Atlanta, Designated Survivor, The Get Down, Braindead, Stranger Things.

Well 2 episodes into Bull, and yep fulfilling all my worst fears.

 

On the plus side, first episode of Designated Survivor, loved it. Hope the show progresses after a promising start

 

MacGyver...hmm sorta liked it. George Eads is always good, not quite so sure on Lucas Till as MacGyver, he kinda looks like a Matt Damon lookalike.

Be curious how they write out Gibson after his ignominious firing, since he was marched off the set, gotta be something dramatic & sudden

Just downloaded a new S.F series called aftermath ,first episode looks ok , if a little wierd ,  will stick with it .

Courtesy of my ex wife's AT&T Uverse account I now have the SyFy app on my Roku, and just watched 'Aftermath', I rather liked it.

 

It's  nice to have a post apocalyptic show that's not zombies.

 

Early days, only the first episode, but this is now officially on my list

Paul Finchley is a bona fide "national treasure", one half of a popular, long-running comedy double act. However, the famous comedian's world is thrown into chaos when he is accused of historic sexual abuse.

An Evening With Lily Savage

 

 

 

today saw that : Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children   

 

... on the way thinking there - I am:  'why am I going to see a girlie sounding kiddie movie?'

 

Got to the cinema, and saw it's a Tim Burton flick - woo hoo!!

p.s. the Missus's girls weren't even born when TB's (Nightmare Before Christmas) was showing.

 

Today, the Missus nearly shrank to the floor, when she saw all those fighting skeletons and monsters

 

Her girls loved it

 

Short takes on shows recently seen:

 

Halt and Catch Fire:  This is the best season yet. Perfect mix of great acting and very literate scripts. Every episode ends with a dilemma, and i can't wait for the next one. So good, it will probably get cancelled.

 

Poldark: Old school great stuff about a really decent man who, although a member of the lesser "nobility", cares deeply about the common folk of his community, loves his wife (imagine that!), his former kitchen maid. Restrained, with beautiful Cornwall scenery.

 

Ray Donovan: Very disappointing. The show seems rudderless without the direction of the former showrunner, Ann Biderman. The actors are all probably getting better offers now, and want out. Sad.

 

Guilty Pleasures: I am hooked on automotive "reality shows" so many of which land on Youtube after short runs on Bravo, History, etc. Among the best: Jay Leno's Garage. Jay is the ultimate auto enthusiast, and all around cool guy, who takes his viewers along as he examines and drives the best of the best cars. I'll have to check out Top Gear next, although I prefer American cars.

 

19-2: Canadian cop show set in Montreal, featuring the usual two mismatched partners, but also giving time to other members of the squad. Less sensational than most American boys in blue offerings.

 

Bosch: I am a huge fan of Michael Connelly's books, featuring downbeat cop Harry bosch and his half brother, Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer. Titus Welliver is dead perfect in the part. The stories are all adapted from the books. Excellent.

 

Happy Valley: Set in the Yorkshire countryside, featuring a very human lady cop. Apparently, Sarah Lancashire got a better offer, but the show could still go on. Sorry to see it go.

 

Line of Duty: My favorite British cop show. Can't wait for the next season. Honorable mention in the same category: River, starring the great Stellan Skaarsgard, and Unforgotten. Look 'em up. Good stuff.

 

Narcos: Loved watching the craziness of the late Pablo Escobar, the King of Medellin (coca!) cartel. Wagner Moura really soars in this wild show. Plata (silver) o Plomo (lead!)!

 

Queen of the South: Reminds me of The Bridge (El Paso version), and somewhat of Breaking Bad. I watch it mostly because I have a mad crush on Camila, crime boss played by Veronica Falcon. Violente to el maximo!

 

The War: Ken Burns' 14 hour documentary on WWII, with many facts and lots of footage I had not seen or known before. A hassle to DL, but it's still there (the usual outlet) but probably not for much longer.

 

The Man in the High Castle: What would the US be like if the Axis powers had won the war? Season 2 coming soon.

 

These are some of the shows I have enjoyed over the last year in this, the Golden Age of TV.

Two very good docos, "The.Galapagos.Affair.Satan.Came.to.Eden.2013" and "Gringo.The.Dangerous.Life.Of.John.McAfee.2016".

Going Solo tonight!
Leaving the missus babysitting the kid and going out to the Cinema to watch "The Infiltrator".
Based on the true story of a fearless undercover agent, THE INFILTRATOR is the account of one of history’s most elaborate stings. Starring Bryan Cranston, the bloke out of Breaking Bad.
Maybe the movie will inspire me to go somewhere after for a drink.

I saved some money and streamed a perfect copy….not bad….but all it inspired me to do was go to bed.

 

Watching a new french film called A Perfect Man…..a plot reminiscent of hitchcock and highsmith….. a young writer who keeps getting rejection letters finds a manuscript belonging to someone else….the rest I won't spoil for you.

I'm very much with you on this. I used to love Ray Donovan, but it's totally disjointed and totally lost it's way. The problem with our modern world is, there is more content available than it's possible to ever watch; so when they falter we move on very quickly!

Tv series - The Level

 

A pretty good start to this new 6 part series from the UK.

 

IMDB: A police detective finds herself at the centre of the most dangerous case of her life when she is seconded on to the investigation

into the murder of a drugs trafficker. What nobody around her knows is that she is the missing witness that the police and the killer are searching for.  

 

 

Baron noir

 

Really enjoyed the first episode from this 8 part series from France.

All eight shows all available now.

IMDB: The story of a French president to be and one of his friends, the mayor of a small city in northern France.

The only trailer I could find with English subs.

He may as well audition for Top Gear :)

Just watched all 4 parts of the BBC natural/scientific series Ingenious Animals and thought it was excellent.

 

Scientific viewpoints that are set to change old theories about certain creatures in the animal kingdom. Honestly, IMO, extremely well made documentary.

 

Not sure how the link appeared in the description photo....................

 

Now I have to admit, coming from the UK I sometimes have problems watching American sitcoms. No offence intended but i do find the humour sometimes hard to get into.

 

I have watched (tonight) the first 2 episodes of Kevin Can Wait and have discovered there are some American sitcoms that are funny.....................

 

Set around a policeman (Kevin) who has just retired and now has time to get to know his family while trying to follow his retirement plan with the help from some buddies.

OMG, has anyone else checked out the first episode of Westworld on HBO yet?

 

It's a very imaginative reboot of the 1973 Michael Crichton  of the same name.

 

HBO nails its again, with great cast and beautiful photography.

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Sicario (currently on FoxPremium)…staring Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro (who turns in a career defining performance).

 

Gripping, suspenseful, exquisite cinematography, and well directed. Only gripe is its quasi-fascist theme of justifying extra-judicial law enforcement to combat south of the border drug trafficking.
