Godfather of Harlem is back in a couple of weeks. 
 

I thought The White Lotus was good, I kind of worked out part of the story last week, but after watching it with the wife, she had been enjoying it, then said today that it was a bunch of crap - I can see that the show has generated attention but then turned into the most un-Thai story ending. Like there was no happy ending, other than he got the girl. Anyone else? 

 

I just re-watched the entire Season 3 of WL - so much complex signalling and crucial omens.  Such great writing, acting, directing, photography and music.

Black Mirror season 7  has dropped all 6 episodes - I had miss put  season 6 when I wrote it----to much red wine ..........

Mobland, excellent TV series

 

 

Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves (Torka aldrig tårar utan handskar)

An excellent three part mini series about the 1980's peak of the HIV plague in Sweden. I think of interest to both those who lived through that period and were touched by it and those who don't know what it was really like. Hint -- it was really horrible and the horribleness wasn't only about what the disease did. Highly recommended.

 

Always wear gloves to wipe tears – Watching the Swedes

The actor who plays the Jehovah's Witness lover of the lead kind of reminds me of a young Mathew Broderick. 

 

You can watch on youtube (but hard to read subs) or "other" sources.

Just downloaded 4 seasons of Callan, a blast from the 1960s.

Just finished binge watching the latest Black Mirror sci-fi series.

6 episodes and they were all really good.

I ever liked the future black lesbian falling in love with the 1940s movie lesbian.

You're not the only to think that, yet it's had the highest ratings of all 3 seasons.  Personally, I love it and can hardly contain myself to find out how it will end.  I still think Season 1 was better, but this Season beats 2 which I was a little disappointed with.

Yes, those who think it’s a soap or a drama kind of miss the point. I was sitting there at the end watching the two in the pond (trying to not spoil it) .. it’s a dark comedy. I kind of forgot what happens in S02, S01 was awesome, especially the last episode, the hotel manager character taking a dump in a suitcase, that character was great, I was thinking to revisit. 

Movie made in Thailand not my cup of tea but some may like.

Series two......starts today!

Decided to watch the movie, "The Life of David Gale" the other night and was very pleased that I did as I couldn't remember if I had seen it before, so nothing lost there.

 

What did strike me was the acting of Kevin Spacey, because it was excellent, and I know he has fallen from grace with the various "accusations" against him, but watching this movie showed me how much he has been missed.

 

Having said that, I did think his role in "The Usual Suspects" was also excellent – – if you haven't seen "The Life of David Gale" then I can highly recommend it.

The Glass Dome

 

A criminologist and her former police chief partner investigate the vanishing of a local girl in the small Swedish town where she was once held captive.

Episode 1 truly awful. Rebellious white teen lesbian downs syndrome girl is the action hero, surprised her girlfriend wasn't black. All worried about crowded living accomodation but still seem to have 1 person living in each large house.

 

Completely mindless, yet politically correct nonsense.

Clearly an unpopular series—only 8.7/10 on IMDb.

Next time I recommend a series I will add that it contains adult themes.

Deli Boys.

Good fun.

Just watched a working man. Mindless violence right from the start but quite enjoyable. Jason Streatham doing what he does.

 

Your friends and neighbours EPs 1 & 2 also very enjoyable.

 

Rich Flu about all the rich people in the world dying, also worth a look, great cinematography and an attractive lead. Was that Timothy Spall as the rich guy in Alaska?

I thought is was  better than the Bee Keeper at least

Finished the first episode of Mob Land .... not that great so far. Loved the 'Gentleman' which is from the same production team i believe. 

 

Pierce Brosnan is a top guy, but his acting is hammy and unwatchable at times with that accent.  

 

Will give it more time though.

I guess that would exclude some here.

There are 3 episodes available but there are supposed to be 4. Anyone seen the 4th episode and where it's available?

Episode 4 (Kinahan) is showing up at the usual places.

Season 4 of Arctic Circle is dropping.

 

 

(Polish crime, drama) A decent watch so far if you don't mind subtitles.
