Binged out

Tools    





I just finished rewatching all the Game Of Thrones seasons, plus the first 2 seasons of House of the Dragon.

Before that I binged the entire Yellowstone series,
before that Special Ops: Lioness,
before that Little Drummer Girl,
then North Water,
and on and on...

Ive actually watched more seasons of tv than actual movies the past 5 years. I. Am. DONE! I literally do not even want to watch something in 2 parts even.


Starting the movie BlackBerry (2023) , and so far its brilliant.



Binge-watching - Watching anywhere between two and six episodes of a TV series in one sitting ...

I finished rewatching the three seasons of Mr Inbetween. Great show. I wonder what Aussies thought of it.



The Adventure Starts Here!
I know how you feel. We have watcheda bunch of European crime dramas of late. Have to finish seaon 9 of Shetland.
I admit I lost some enthusiasm for Shetland when Jimmy Perez left (although at least they gave him a lovely way out), but I should finish it up with Tosh as DS. I made it through season 8 so I'd just have season 9 left.

Season 9 was a bit of a drop off with so many red herrings. I wonder of they will continue with this series.

Wikipedia says this, for what it's worth:

"In March 2024, the show was recommissioned for series nine and ten in 2024 and 2025 with Jensen and O'Donnell reprising their roles."

I've started yet another rewatch of The Sopranos. I'm at the end of season 1 at the moment. I've watched the series enough that it makes good "background watching" as I do putz around doing other things.

I will keep watching. It's kind of addictive.

You ready? You look ready.
@doubledenim: it was just the right thing at the right time. any other time it would probably would have been met with a resounding meh, but instead it was sickeningly sweet while the world was burning. that’s a powerful combo



Just finished the first season of Creature Commandos on MAX. I had forgotten to watch the seventh and final episode. It's ... not bad. Kind of a Suicide Squad lite. Half the calories. I feel bad for Gunn though. I think he's coming into this at a low ebb for CBM's. He needs to avoid the Marvel pitfall of throwing more and more money at any given problem. Keep it modest and somewhat innovative and he and DC should be able to carve out a niche of sorts.



Watched all six episodes of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. This was disappointing after all the "Michonne and Rick finally reunited!" buildup. I seem to remember this originally being conceived as a movie before morphing into a limited run miniseries. That's a large part of why this sort of just lays there. Way too much padding plus an uninspired storyline equals a moribund product. The Walking Dead: Darryl Dixon series is the one worth following. Haven't seen S2 yet though.
