I have been dipping in and out of Netflix Timeless the premise is quite engaging for me time travel, the story arc quite engaging but I just cannot abide 45 minute encapsulated episodes. Is it just me? Clearly they are designed for a casual viewer to watch a single episode and still understand what is going on and the story arc is supposed to capture them whether they have been watching from episode 1 or 5. But for committed watching I really do not like it, or if I do I start to get bored quickly like I have done with Timeless. Must be quite tough for TV production companies really.

Porridge (2017) ..... what a pile of crap, not one original joke, and the lead actor Kevin Bishop kept trying to be Ronnie Barker playing Fletcher, it was just pisss poor.

Well i salute you for even trying it, they'll never learn, class cant be re done

'The Incredible Human Journey' with Dr. Alice Roberts. She became uncomfortable handling a stone phallus and crossed her legs

There wasn't much on afterwards so I watched 4 Music for the first time. I recognized a lot of the tracks from the gym. I thought they had been put together for people to work out to but they were actual chart hits.

Bat Out of Hell (1966)... staring John Thaw before he started going grey. A five part ITV thriller thing involving, murder, blackmail, the Queen's English, more blackmail, and an incredibly convoluted plot... not sure if it stacked up to anything good, but it was an enjoyable watch, if only to wonder at the way the actors all delivered their dialogue as quickly as possible, perfectly spoken with barely a pause nor breath.

Garden Rescue, BBC iPlayer

Fairly interesting - got some ideas to put into my own garden plans. I didn't recognise Charlie Dimmock though.

7/10

Tin Star - binge watched the final 6 episodes over the weekend. Quite good, although I'd guessed the twist with a few episodes to go. It felt a bit stretched over 10 episodes, while they were cleary going for brooding and slow burning, it could have been a much tauter and snappier 7 parter.
Clearly left open for Series 2, which comes as no surprise as they've already announced it.

7/10

Watched a bit of 'Police Interceptors' last night, after getting home from work (circa 22:50)
On a late-turn again today, and have Sundays episode of 'Escape To The Chateau' to catch up on

 

[AndyRM]

Louis Theroux's Dark States

Lordy this was bleak, highlighting heroin dependency in West Virginia. Could have gone a lot further into skewering the US health system, but I suppose that would have taken away from the people he was following who had truly tragic lives. Upsetting on many levels, but compelling viewing.

Snowfall

This slipped under my radar until a friend flagged it. Sort of Narcos crossed with Boogie Nights, nails the aesthetic of LA's sleazier side. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series, and I'm genuinely a bit surprised to see it on the Beeb rather than a streaming service.

 

[MontyVeda]

I watched the first half of the first episode of Rellik... the rewinds seemed creative at first, but soon got tiresome. Has anyone bothered sticking with this over stylised mess?
