Altered Carbon season 2

S went away for a couple of days so I did something I very rarely do and binge-watched something on TV. This was a re-watch of season 1 of Altered Carbon followed by all of season 2.

Spoilers behind cut.

The Americans

So, a post about The Americans - IMO, one of the best TV series ever made. Up there with The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad - all those shows that are always mentioned when people talk about the third - ie. the current- golden age of American TV (only just found out it's called that).

I haven't really anything new or interesting to say about the show, I don't think. But having re-watched all six seasons of it over a period of about two months I'm not quite ready to let it go again just yet.

Spoilers for The Americans behind cut. Also brief spoilers for Picard.

TV stuff

So, I realised there was actually more to my 2019 TV viewing than Lucifer season 4 - yay!, Carnival Row - mostly yay! and Game of Thrones season 8 - yeurch!

Slight spoilers behind cut for Gentleman Jack and His Dark Materials, plus mention of a couple of other things. Also proper spoilers for Messiah, which is actually 2020.

My TV watching this summer has been pretty sporadic, what with one thing or another.

Spoilers behind cut for Sacred Games and not really spoilers for Carnival Row.

Lucifer season 5 news

Sadly, Netflix haven't decided to un-cancel the show. On the other hand, according to co-showrunner Ildy Modrovich on Twitter and various of the actors including Tom Ellis himself, they have added some extra episodes to season 5. There are going to be sixteen now, instead of ten, so yay!

Again, according to Ildy, it's all down to the fans, so yay! for them too.

I am a fan, obvs, but I'm not part of the extremely active Lucifer fandom on Twitter. I just look on in awe.

Good Omens

I thought I ought to write a review of Good Omens,(on the principle that for most of my time on LJ/DW I've written reviews of fannish things I've watched so I feel I should carry on), but I'm struggling with what to say beyond that I enjoyed it.

Spoilers behind cut.

Lucifer season 4 eps 2-6

I was going to write a brief pre-finale post about Game of Thrones and how I'm fine with whatever happens in it because I don't really care that much (except about Drogon the dragon, but I know he's going down with Dany, so :shrug:), but then I decided I don't care so much I can't be bothered to write it (I'm sure it'll look amazing whatever happens), so here's another post about Lucifer season 4.

I'm getting through it much quicker than I thought I would. I watched ep 6 this morning.

Game of Thrones Season 8 Ep 1

Hello.

I realise I haven't posted in over a month, and that it'd be a bit much to come back, put up a Game of Thrones review and disappear again, so I'll try not to do that last thing. I don't know what's happened to me really. I just have this vast reluctance to post at all, and I don't know why, beyond that feeling like I have nothing interesting to say is a big part of it. :(

In other TV news, I'm still enjoying Star Trek: Discovery a lot. They've really found their groove now, I think.

I'm also enjoying my Lucifer rewatch. Now half way through season 2- and still no official word of when season 4 will be up on Netflix. Oh well.
