Altered Carbon season 2

Sun, 01 Mar 2020 14:46:48 GMT

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

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 16:52:04 GMT

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

Wed, 15 Jan 2020 16:54:00 GMT

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

Fri, 26 Jul 2019 17:53:38 GMT

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

Thu, 04 Jul 2019 18:07:29 GMT

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.

Lucifer season 4 eps 2-6

Sun, 19 May 2019 16:42:04 GMT

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

Wed, 17 Apr 2019 13:05:34 GMT

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. :(

The Umbrella Academy

I just finished watching season 1 of The Umbrella Academy today.

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.

Star Trek Discovery Season 2

Fri, 18 Jan 2019 16:44:59 GMT

I just watched the first episode of the new season of Star Trek: Discovery. I enjoyed it, but I'm pretty certain all the people who loathed the first season are going to loathe this too. Oh well.

In other TV-watching news, I'm still working my way through season 2 of The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, which I'm absolutely loving, and the current series of The Good Place, likewise. Nothing else to report really.

Oh, one thing - according to Tom Ellis on Twitter (and I guess he should know, but I'm still waiting to hear it from someone official), Netflix will be showing Lucifer season 4 in the UK. All the previous seasons will then become available on UK Netflix too. Until then, we can continue to watch them on Amazon Prime.

This seems weird to me. Does it seem weird to anyone else?

TV Stuff 2018

Thu, 10 Jan 2019 16:51:56 GMT

Normally this time of year, I'd try and do a post about my fandom activities of the year before, including any fanfic I'd written, but since I wrote no fanfic last year and didn't do anything fannish, there doesn't seem much point. ;)

So here instead is a post about TV stuff I really enjoyed in 2018.

( Read more... )

Speaking of Amazon Prime (which we sort of were), I discovered the other day that all seven seasons of BtVS are now available on it. So I've started watching. Only got to the third episode of season 1, but am sucked in enough again to go and re-read what I thought about those episodes back in 2015, when we were doing the (sadly, never completed) re-watch on fantas_magoria. I think I was too kind to the first two episodes. They really are not good. However, I still love Witch, the episode which first made me sit up and take notice of the show way back when.

For those of you without Netflix, according to Amazon, the season is coming out on DVD/Blu Ray, which is good news. That'll become less and less the case as time passes, I suspect, so grab it while you can.

Since coming back, I've been trying to catch up with TV stuff I'd missed, plus anything new that seemed of interest.

Vague spoilers for some of them behind cut, including BBC dramas The Bodyguard, Black Earth Rising, Informer and The Little Drummer Girl, also Doctor Who and The Good Place.

In other TV news, The Last Kingdom season 3 will go up on Netflix on Saturday.

Looking forward to that. Also looking forward to The Marvellous Mrs Maisel season 2, which goes up on Amazon on December 5th.

Still no news about who will air season 4 of Lucifer in the UK.

I'm also really excited about this Loki TV series starring Tom Hiddleston, even though I haven't the least clue how I'll ever watch it.

What else appears to have ended is the heatwave. We actually had rain today - not much, but more than we've had for...I can't remember how long. Anyone else experienced this weird phenomenon of water falling from the skies?
