….ooops, I better make sure that I can watch it all before I continue…that’s horrid to invest and then not be able to see it through…

I just checked, only the first 2 seasons are on Netflix. I might try to pick it up again if I can find somewhere else to watch (even though BOTS says the rest aren't great)

Yeah !!

We loved the first two as well but couldn’t get into series three at all

Maybe we should give it another try ?

I’m on Series 1 Episode 4 of Justified

I think there is about 6 seasons to plow through .

It’s kinda like watching Clint Eastwood policing in American backwood state

I also watched the first episode of Jessica Jones the Marvel character. on Disney+.. don’t know if I’m bothered enough to continue .

I actually watched the first episode on Netflix a couple of years ago and also gave up after one episode



Interesting to see that Disney heavily edited / censored the sex scenes - to be expected I suppose.

…oh, so I’ve just checked and…(..I think…)…all 4 seasons are on BBC iplayer so I should be able to watch them…I don’t know if there is due to be a season 5…I kind of hope not because I don’t like to binge and just catch up to real time viewing, I like a conclusion …

I doubt there is, S4 finished a good while ago I think?

All I will say is that she helps me consider giving Killing Eve a go.

Just like Revy helped me give Black Lagoon a go if you catch my drift.

And I dare even the most die hard Anime haters to not fall in love with Revy, she's the perfect woman.

Just watched the first episode of Grimm !!

Really enjoyed it.

I was sad at

Spoiler:

Beverly's death, as I did like her character.

but overall a very good Season.

I've also been watching two huge Anime series back in the day in Black Lagoon and Clannad.

Black Lagoon - I've done the first 8 episodes of Season 1, and tbh it reminds me of Cowboy Bebop, but on an acid trip.

Plus whoever animated Revy deserves an award.

But seriously the biggest strength of Black Lagoon is the cast, especially Revy, Dutch and Rock, all three characters contribute hugely into why this Anime is so entertaining imo.

It's a very OTT show, so it won't be for everyone, but if you're okay with how OTT it is then you'll have a blast.

Clannad - I've watched the first 5 episodes of Clannad, and it's very out of my comfort zone, but I do like it so far, I like how well written the characters are, and I do like the mix of Slice Of Life, Drama and a tinge of Comedy (which there's more of than the fans tend to sell it as) it's been a pleasant surprise so far for me.

I do for some reason like the ED to Clannad a lot as well.

Although the Music is really good on Black Lagoon, Madhouse (the Studio that made Death Note's Anime) really nailed the Music again here.

Basically in a rare scenario, I'm actually happy with all of the Shows that I'm currently watching.

Update on my opinions of all three Shows.

Hannibal - Overall a fantastic Show, NBC should be proud of the first two Seasons, and three great Actors who play Hannibal, Will and Jack.

However I will say that I think Season 3 has been poor so far after watching just under half of the season.

My main issues with the Season are these two things.

1. The plot meandering with really boring scenes to try and look all artsy, or doing trippy psychological scenes that are essentially about nothing, but it makes it look like something is happening. And Will unfortunately in the first 5 episodes was left with a nonsensical character to interact with, which I will cover now.

2. The writing for Chiyoh (a new character that has been drafted into Season 3) feels kinda pointless to the story, and ultimately her writing makes no sense to me, and that's saying something when I'm understanding the writing for Alana more, and she's basically degrading as a character with each Season.

And to add, I do think that both Alana and Gillian Anderson's character have both faced rewrites this Season, they're both good Actresses (especially Gillian Anderson) but I do feel like the writers have gone from "character growth" to not even the same personality anymore with Alana. And Gillian Anderson's character has gone from believing Will's innocence and kind of being scared of Hannibal in Season 2, to now being more shady herself in Season 3.

And btw that's not to say that the Show still doesn't have it's moments, in particular Jack as a character and the second half of episode 5 have been strengths for the Season.

Black Lagoon - I've done the first 6 episodes of Season 2, and tbh I'm really enjoying it still, Revy is the perfect woman and a really entertaining character, Rock is an interesting character that's very different to everybody else on the Show, and Dutch and I think the blonde one's name is Benny? Are also really fun characters.

Plus I'm seeing more from certain side characters that were established in Season 1 which I like to see a world that's actually growing.

And I've got to say that the first three episodes of Season 2 has got to be my personal favourite arc of the Show so far, you know the villains are twisted when it's bothering Chang (who once threatened someone with "turning their balls into nuts") and even he was bothered by the villains at the start of Season 2, it was good stuff.

Overall a good start to Season 2 for Black Lagoon imo.

And I've done the first 15 episodes of Clannad, and again I'm really enjoying it in a very different way to how I'm enjoying Hannibal and Black Lagoon.

A warning to anyone that doesn't like Fantasy though, Clannad has very minor elements of Fantasy in the Anime.

Oh and on the Reality TV front I'm watching The Traitors UK Series 2 which has been highly entertaining imo, the best Reality Show at the moment on current form I personally feel. Although my favourite got murdered in the penultimate episode by the bastard Traitors.

And The Masked Singer UK Series 5, which is okay, but I feel like it can't recreate the qualities of the first two Seasons I feel.

…I’ve just finished binge watching Killing Eve…/…I loved it and would totally recommend to anyone…although I imagine that most people have seen it as I know that I’m a bit late catching up with this one…

Spoiler:

…I agree with bots that the first two series were probably the most riveting but I also enjoyed the last two series, I had become so invested in the characters by then …I thought that maybe Eve would then kill Caroline but she obviously survived it all…I was kind of holding my breath for the ending, in how Villanelle would die or how they would both die because that felt so inevitable as to how it was going to happen…

That's unfortunate.

Hopefully Killing Eve will take your mind off of any swelling or pain.
