Binged watched Severance (Apple+). It is some how very watchable given its a bit weird. Series 2 is now being drip fed. I read every day, almost exclusively using my Kindle now though.
Best Christmas present I have has in recent years. Didn't read at all until I got the old keyboard version (2010 apparently!). Read so much now, and I do have rest spells but always go back. |

Dexter: Original Sin - brilliant addition to the franchise after the underwhelming sequel series New Blood.

Agreed, look forward to todays episode. All the characters well cast, except I am not convinced by Deb yet, the rest though, excellent. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Loooooooooooooooooooved that, a proper mindbender at times but well worth sticking with.
Yep, my only gripe is that I wish I'd watched it when it actually was initially airing. There's really something special about savouring a decent series too. I'm guilty of binge watching stuff but by design we can so easily now, because whole series are released straight away. Yet, I feel somewhat we've often lost the ''art'' of absorbing and viewing something over a longer time period. These things very much were almost about the social or societal element, as they were the series. When series were on once a week. You'd maybe discuss a latest episode with a work colleague or religiously watch the latest episode with a family member - maybe even discuss what you think might happen etc. But a lot of that is lost now, as everyone is watching at whatever pace they want - the content is already there, so you can't really even go on reddit and discuss a show as you'll likely encounter spoilers {even from unintentional comments}. I guess that's what I mean about collectively losing the ''art'' to view with savouring it. Like good wine or whiskey, some shows just need to be ''sipped'' to be enjoyed best. This why I forced myself to watch ''Dark'' relatively slowly. Just kept it to a couple of episodes per night. I mean, it's really not something that can be binged in a few nights anyway. Well it could be, but I think that person would miss so much. I'm considering watching it all again, just to see what I ''missed'' first time around; especially now knowing the conclusion. My only bad word I can have for ''Dark'' is that S3 had the one typical time travel movie trope that it had resisted from all series long. But it's a very minor gripe. No real plot armour either, other than for Jonas and Martha - but that is fine. Brings into question though the literal existence and need for some of the characters though. Exhibit A} Clausen. I don't think his character was really needed at all. All in all though it's a 4.5/5 or 9/10 from me  |

Andor S1 and S2 into Rogue One might be the absolute best Star Wars has offered so far.

I'm fucking loving it. June's speech in the last episode was arguably the best scene in the shows history. |

Well Mex, that was THE episode! Suspect a small time jump now to wrap up the consequences of all that! |
