What are you watching?

Severance is a horrible show, written & directed by someone who never worked in a 9-5 job.
Perhaps I should tune my head to allow these fucks to have some creative liberty; but the whole time I can’t help but wonder - did they really think people can go on and on with work with no break? The main character essentially went 2 years non-stop refining

why would the employee bother to step into the elevator if his next memory is re-entering the lobby? The dude would rather take a nap in the lobby.
Did no one think of any process to allow family members to contact in case of emergencies (like his sister being due)?

What about human curiosity? You have access to all the memories that make a functional modern human but you don’t have any curiosity of the outside world?

And how dumb are the characters? You finally got out of the severed floor, you know it won’t be for long - hurry the fuck up.

I’m two episodes into Poker Face, it’s an enjoyably silly, not-too-heavy dark comedy so far.

Natasha Lyonne so far walks the line of being enjoyably quirky without it becoming annoying or obnoxious.

Well worth a watch of you fancy a light-hearted crime series (based on what I’ve seen so far)

Interesting. You’re the first person I’ve met with a negative opinion on the show. I haven’t watched it yet myself so have no opinion.

Some people have told me it’s a top 5 show for them.

Lucan

A 3-part documentary series about Lord Lucan, the aristocrat who, in the early 1970s, murdered his childrens nanny and then disppeared never to be heard from since. It focuses on a man who learns he’s the son of that nanny, Sandra Rivett, and decides to see if he can find out what happened to his mother’s killer.

Quite fascinating watch leading him all over the world, culminating in Australia where he meets a man who checks all the boxes that match Lucan’s background including a Professor who uses facial recognition to determine in all likelihood that he is Lord Lucan but it actually doesn’t seem like it is.

I feel for the man but the documentary really gives off the impression that he’s got the wrong man.

A new Adam Curtis documentary you say?

Thank you very much indeed.

Squid Game 3

Really brilliant show. Top concept. Sad this is supposedly the final outing but honestly? Probably best to end while it’s not shite.

I watched all of Squid Game 3 this weekend. Excellent series and a very good ending. Well worth al of the time invested in the series.

Didn’t like season 2 of Squid game. Thought the first was brilliant. Two episodes into Season Three now and ready for the finale.

I liked Season 2, but didn’t think it was as good as the first. Season 3 didn’t disappoint.

Watched the first three episodes of Ironheart today.

It was so shit I feel violated. I’m so done with all this superhero nonsense.

Even if the Marvel Universe wasn’t churning out utter garbage, I gave up a long time ago. There is just too much to keep up with. Same with Star Wars.

The story that needed telling was entirely told within series 1, it only continued beyond that because it was so spectacularly successful.
