“There is no good reason good can't triumph over evil, if only angels will get organized along the lines of the mafia.”
~ Kurt Vonnegut
Taskmaster great comedy
Andor great science fiction
Etc
- Gangs of London – Series 2 – from Sky. Violent, edgy, brutal, compelling.
- Black Bag – Amazon Prime. A smart, unusual, beautifully designed spy movie – psychologically fascinating. Michael Fassbender – fresh from The Agency and The Killer (both 2024 favourites of mine) is brilliant. Is he the most intense, irresistible actor in movies today?
- Adolescence – Netflix. Maybe the most talked about series in the UK today. Trudy loved it. It’s on my list. Stephen Graham’s always worth watching.
- Mobland – Paramount+. UK organised crime, offbeat performances from Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, with True Grit from Tom Hardy. Directed by a lad’s favourite – the great Guy Ritchie.
- The Residence. Light relief. Cluedo on TV! The Butler didn’t do it – it did him!! An eccentric Detective, the White House upstairs/downstairs, Aussies (Kylie Minogue!). Watch this before you go to bed – you’ll be smiling in your sleep.
- 1923 – Series II – Paramount+. Taylor Sheridan on the job again! Helen Mirren again steals the show. She’s maturing like a fine wine.
- And three flight fillers from Netflix – American Primeval, The Are Murders and Helicopter Heist. (And The Gorge from Apple.)
