What TV are you watching?

Anyone looking forward to series 2 of SquidGames on Netflix starting 26th December ? I’m the least “TV” watching person of all time. But I’m genuinely looking forward to it…….

Yeah, i enjoyed the first season.
And did you see the reality show version, filmed here in Blighty? It did quite well to capture some of the atmosphere.

Two shows into the Christmas viewing now, Scotland’s Christmas Home of the Year and the Christmas Great British Sewing Bee both great fun.
Also, not Christmas as such, enjoyed the Kaye Adams Celebrity Escape to the Country this week, she and her podcast pal were a hoot looking at properties in Stirlingshire. The houses weren’t bad either

Just started watching Pennyworth, a Batman prequel / spinoff concerning the early adventures of Alfred and his association with Wayne Snr in the years before Batman.

Just the pilot episode this far which is a very well crafted bit of filmaking and close to perfect execution of "show not tell". Without giving too much away, the age of the classic cars shows it is set in the late 50s / early 60s, a printing press churning out union jacks embossed with a raven introduces the Mosleyite fascistic baddies, and a few shots of London makes it clear this is set in an alternative London very different from our own. Alfred is an ex-SAS soldier working as a bouncer but aiming to set up a security firm, and by chance encounters a young Thomas Wayne ... and we're off on the adventure.

Anyhow, whilst we are latecomers to this series, it is looking really promising, and keeps a comic book feel of series such as the excellent Gotham, or the other dystopian alternative London story, Vendetta

Wasn't it meant to be a prequel to 'Gotham'

Gotham was excellent... apart from the final episode, which was absolute pants.

Most of it was, yes

Still not a fan of Fish Mooney, but interesting to see Solomon Grundy!!

Agreed, that last episode was bad, barring BatMan on the rooftops
