GOOD TV SHOWS & VIEWING

I watched that a few years ago, very interesting and historically accurate.

Thanks for the reminder to watch John Adams - saw bits of it years ago and thought it was brilliant. Loved it when he met the English king.

 Ozark was surprisingly good, considering the violence and drug content.

SLOW HORSES on apple TV + Mi5 has it's main building with all its main top people, it also has another  building called Slough house, this is where all their crappy Mi5 agents the ones who have been disciplined or done something something wrong, that's where they go. Gary Oldman plays their boss, they go out and solve these dark mysteries and terrorism plots etc, its a seriously good watch. 

When I first starting watching SEVERANCE I was quite taken back by the premise of the story, by the time I was 2 episodes in I was mesmerised, never have I seen anyone come up with a story like this, it's unbelievably good, intricate and strange, beautiful and dark at the same time, the cast is perfect, the sets are out of this world, the fashion, the makeup everything perfect, and the production quality is second to none. When season 1 ended I was left wanting for more more more.. a very very different type of story, this has never been done before that I know of, pleasantly surprised, it tickled my brain beautifully. 

 Ozark isn't nonsense...it's insanity.

Watched this last night, I enjoyed it, there were endless parallels between my own life as a teen growing up in Forster ( moved there when I was 12 ) and this film, It really gave me so many flashbacks of nostalgia..

Black Bird is great Gay, its based of a true story, which is why I liked it so much. it's very hard to watch and gets very frustrating at times, nonetheless it can be good to put yourself out of your comfort zone sometimes. 

There is one boring old trope that is a feature of many cop detective dramas that really annoys me. Brilliant detective brilliantly solves one very difficult case per episode but his colleagues, especially his bosses, are constantly questioning his competence. Come on! Get real! Even a tiny bit real.

I've recently found a really cool old series on Plex (a free streaming service I didn't even know my TV had!)

The Fugitive. Don't know if it was shown in Oz back in the day but was huge in the US in the 60s. The Harrison Ford movie was based on it.

The one armed man was very elusive.

Bosch is one I've kept on the burner til now, but the first couple of episodes looked good.

Excellent so far TJ
