What TV are you watching?

The black & white shorthaired cat acting in the series belongs to a friend of mine.

His real name is Spud, and I've judged him at cat shows.

I bet he's judged you as well. 😂

I haven't noticed the cat yet - but it wouldn't surprise me if it ends up running the mob. My cat is a total villain too.

Just watching Ian Dury and the Blockheads on BBC FOUR.
...

which gig is that?

Just watch one from 2004 which recently aired on BBC four... but I'm sure it's not same as yours.

They showed two back to back when I watched it.
The one I watched was aired from the Old grey whistle test and he was a lot younger in it compared to the second gig they showed

Just watched the first episode of We Own This City on iplayer. Really enjoying it so far. I do worry for Sean Bean's longevity in this as always though.

Started watching this but thought it got cheesy by episode 4...should I bother finishing it ?

My word, the dialogue in Adolescence episode 2 is clunky. I'm really not trying to trivialise the subject, and I get and respect the programme makers honest and well placed intentions, but reviewed simply as entertainment, it does kinda jar. Like some teenage health advice video, you were half expecting Nancy Reagan to pop up and say 'drugs, just say no'.

Yellowstone 1923

Let us know how it stacks up against 1883, which I thought was wonderful.

I heard Nancy's words and I never did drugs. Surely that is not just a coincidence.
Having watched Adolescence, you will most probably not go on to stab any women. This is the power of Great Drama.

Yellowstone 1923

I'm tempted by Yellowstone. I watched, and enjoyed, Landman and that's a Taylor Sheridan work as well. Apparently, the 2 share the same political ambiguity - it's not something I'd even thought might appeal to me before but it works.

The only part of the series that I've watched is 1883 since I'd prefer to watch them chronologically.
If you like westerns in the slightest then I recommend it.

I’m enjoying Protection. I might have to binge the rest as I’m not sure I can wait until next week.

we just started that Protection last night, very promising really enjoyed it

The More I See You

Interesting, as a new Nurse is someone Hawkeye was deeply in love with, & lived with, whilst a 'resident' (a SHO, in the UK, under the old names)

I thought, she looked vaguely familiar, even allowing for the passage of time
Blythe Danner

She was in Paul, it was her dog that was killed when the space-ship landed

More to the point, she's Gwyneth Paltrows mum!!

"The Leopard" a six part Netflix historical drama set in and after the unification of Italy. Pretty good albeit with a bit too much "look at this lovely photography and expensive production" but acting and script is pretty good.

I've not seen the Visconti / Burt Lancaster movie (widely regarded as a masterpiece) nor read the book both are based upon.

Anyhow, pretty decent historical drama, whose plot doesn't really go where you might expect

That's encouraging, it's on my watch list but I was worried it might be bloated in the usual 'mini series that would make a decent 2 hour movie' way.
