Slow Horses: Work Drinks (2022)
A Different Type of Spy Show
Gary Oldham is just class in this, a real grotty git of a boss, I hate him, but love his sardonic wit.
As for the show it's going to be another Apple success, not on the Severance level but will be placed nicely for those who understand British humour. This won't be for everyone.
People should really IMDb the cast as it's pretty damn good. Olivia Cooke will be in House of the Dragon for example.
This is not a serious spy drama, or I'm not reading it that way, seems like a Micky take on what happens to those who fall foul of Ml5 and end up at Slough House.
All said and done it's certainly worth a watch and much better than the current crop of new shows.
Six Feet Under: Everyone's Waiting (2005)
Lovely to see this still holds it own
It's still the Mother of all final episodes and so glad so many of you agree.
For me, watching it back then, how could I have known years later this episode would touch the lives of so many. For me Six Feet Under changed TV, along with The Sopranos and The Shield. It made what we have now, I truly believe this.
I mean that last 10 minutes with Sia Breathe Me playing was and is still astonishing.
I've played it back on YouTube over the years (dare you) and still cry like a baby.
Killing Eve: Just Dunk Me (2022)
It wasn't very good
Having been dazzled by Season 1/2, 3 was OK. But this opener was pretty poor. Was there any funny stuff? I used to have a good old chortle watching this show.
It must be in the water as pretty much most shows
I'm watching have had poor seasons, must be a post COVID hangover. The one exception by far is Ozark.
I'll see this season out and hope it gets better.
Euphoria: The Theater and Its Double (2022)
What a Complex Episode
It was a really good episode and those transitions were amazing, jumping from stage to real life and back again.
It must have been such a hard episode to produce. Loved the Nate moment standing in front of the picture that transitioned into the mirror with Cassie. Such a gem.
Where is Fez? Those scenes were so tense in contrast to what was happening in the play.
I can't say it was masterpiece of an episode but it was pretty damn close.
Can't wait for next weeks finale, something big is going to happen in sure.
And finally the eye make up this week which is a really strong point anyway was fantastic, Cassie's looked amazing.
Billions: Burn Rate (2022)
I think we need to stick with it
We can't just give up, I thought it wasn't too bad this week, and thought the money pop ups just shows you how much these guys have to spend on material things and how much it's costs to get things done.
It wasn't great but I hope things can improve.
Dexter: New Blood: Too Many Tuna Sandwiches (2021)
I'm liking this show
After the demise of Dexter which left me very bitter, I never thought I'd get into this, but bloody hell it's not bad, just like the old times, before it went mental.
Really good episode and it's starting to get very interesting.
Is this really going to be a one off season to lay the ghost of Dexter, or is this going to have legs and grow into Season 2.
I do hope so. A very happy UK viewer.
Billions: Implosion (2021)
Would have made a good season finale
Enjoyed this episode with skullduggery around every corner. Without giving everything up I'll end there but my review title is the first thing I said after this episode.
The Haunting of Hill House: The Bent-Neck Lady (2018)
What an episode
We watch TV for this reason. A true gem which left me as people have said very emotional. I really don't do horror shows/films but with lockdown have given this a go and so far it's been brilliant.
The construction of Hill House has been superb and this episode was perfect craft.
I have watched this episode twice and knowing what happens made the second viewing even more emotional. It is beautiful.
As episodes go I have to rank this as one of my standout TV episodes and definitely in my top 10.
I look forward to finishing this show then moving onto Bly Manor.
Ozark: Fire Pink (2020)
Wow
I've sent so many people to The Ozarks and they've all come back saying it's their best show.
This episode start to finish is a masterclass in emotional acting. Both Ben and Wendy were amazing. How on earth do you draw on your art to perform at that level. It was a true privilege to watch those two.
Personally this has been the best season and to get a better glimpse of cartel, even they have problems was a welcome sideline.
I OWN YOU !!!!
