What TV are you watching?

Twas the brutality of it that stopped me watching.

Two series to go of Peaky Blinders. It all gets a bit far-fetched in series 3, but Paddy Considine as the insidious priest kept me going. I think that was as far as I got last time, so I'm going to see the story out. Some parts are a lot more brutal than I remember them being.

This was how I got into Peaky. They filmed the Easter fayre bit by my work so we saw filming at lunch. Hadn't heard of the show before then. I'm rewatching the last series as revision.

Chloe on the iPlayer was very good and started You Don't Know Me now. This is looking promising.

I'm looking forward to Peaky Blinders 🙂

Chloe on the iPlayer was very good ...

It was until the ending. Then it was a bit of a let down.

Just finished the Book of Boba Fett. Very enjoyable if you like that sort of thing, BUT... the final three episodes (of seven) turned into series three of The Mandalorian. I think they should have just stuck with the central character and his gang.

Star-Trek : Enterprise

There's a nicely shot sequence, where the Andorian ship pulls Enterprise out of danger, & as they hail the Enterprise, we see the back of Captain Archers head, with a pair of blue antenna appearing, as Shran is heard (then seen) on the view-screen

This is the scene, with a photograph of that splendid juxtapositioning

I remember that, a fantastic shot. Shran has to be one of my favourite characters. Reminiscent of Kirk and Khan, but with the twist of Archer and Shran later becoming reluctant allies.

Reacher is surprisingly good. No, not because I expected it to be crap but because it is good tele. Not cerebral by any stretch but damned fine entertainment. Knows what it's doing, has no pretensions to be anything else, and hits the mark with aplomb.

My only problem is I miss a fair amount of dialogue, not that it really matters - I've only read one Reacher book (maybe two) and this series is based on it!

I genuinely didn't know that another series of Peaky Blinders started tonight. Although I enjoy it, it does feel like it's getting a bit drawn out now.

Then you'll be pleased to hear it's the final series.

I found it very difficult to make out what the female character Roscoe was saying. Mentioned it to my wife a couple of times throughout the series, to which she replied “pardon?” 😬

 

[yello]

I noticed last night that Roscoe was sounding more 'southern' than in previous episodes, the odd word being decidedly twangy. Perhaps the accent got stronger the more the actress got into the role! Tbh, some of time, I can't really hear what she's saying.

Breaking Bad. It was time.

I've seen it once before and loved it. This time around though I dislike Jesse a lot less but dislike Mrs White more.

Looking forward to Peaky Blinders. relegated it to catch up as watched concluding part of Trigger Point with the OH, who isn't a Peaky fan or a fan of violent stuff tbf.

What did you think of Trigger Point? I thought it was distinctly average given the cast.
