Yeh Season 3 was on the whole pretty decent

Massively different tone for me, abit too OTT in places, everyone seemingly having a massive drama where I felt the first two seasons were abit more real life subtle. This one was good, just abit almost trying too hard and abit silly in places
 
I'm only a few episodes in but Ludwig is an absolute delight. The premise takes a lil bit of suspending of one's disbelief imo but it's a whimsical breath of fresh air in the murder mystery style show that's been genuinely funny without completely descending in to perfection / tinkletake of the genre - I'd definitely recommend it, great to see David Mitchel post peep show / Mitchel and Webb expanding a bit to beyond ranting on panel shows, he's great at it but has a lot more to give.

On Ring of Power, of which I'm only about 3 episodes in I'm also hugely enjoying it. A lot of people moaning seem to be those that are either desperate to tell everyone that they read the silmarillion or are offended at the idea of different ethnicities in fantasy as a genre....For me I just fudging love that feeling of being immersed in middle earth, especially parts that weren't visited too much in the LOTR trilogy, in particular the dwarven culture and a certain Tom never seen even in the extended versions. Sure it's no doubt not exactly following the lore but it's been a blast and every episode I come away with a feeling of being blown away by an appearance of something cool as fudge.

I stumbled across Ludwig on iPlayer last week and also very much enjoying this new cozy-crime drama; 4 episodes in and finding it more enjoyable than Upstart Crow which was the last series I watched of his.

Mitchell is so good at playing these socially awkward characters whilst it’s unusual to see Anna Maxwell Martin play a less feisty role than what I’m used to from her stints in Motherland and Line of Duty.

Binged Ludwig, was brilliant
 
Just making my way through Four Kings on Amazon. I real rekindling of memories from the late 80s and 90s.

A must if you like your boxing.

Felt so sorry for Frank. Literally one comment haunted and effected him for years. He didn't have the capacity to deal with it and work thru it (perhaps an age thing?)... eventually eating him up.

And the truth is, it was probably thought up as a fight hype comment, a wind up, to create some needle, faux hatred. But it ruined Bruno :(

Mr McMahon on Netflix is fudging brilliant! Great to see clips of the WWF/WWE in its heyday. Fair to say Vince is a massive prick. I’m surprised that Shane and Stephanie turned out relatively normal considering who their dad is.

The last two episodes of slow horses in this latest season were jaw dropping. They have really sussed out how to exhibit the action and tension.

this series also broadened out the cast nicely and it bodes very well for a few more series

Felt like it ended too quickly though
The way they film it back to back helps I’m sure
 
We’re thoroughly enjoying Rivals on Disney
Very tongue in cheek and great fun but still has some hard moments

Anyone done a jailbreak on a Firestick?
Mate has given me the links and downloads to do it. Looks like a balls ache to do but the prize seems worth it?
 
Binged season 4 of Slow Horses yesterday.

Was decent enough, however, I don't think it's as good as previous seasons. Hugo Weaving was a little underused I thought.
