What Ewe Watching

[Squarebear]

The review I read of the latest series of Slow Horses gave it a bit of a hammering, but no doubt I'll give it a go.

There are so many series mentioned on here where I think "I started watching but can't remember how far I got or what it was like/about". Old age, I guess.

Struggling with the latest season of Slow Horses, it’s definitely lost its spark. Started Blue Lights but not taken with that yet either.

Billy The Kid is decent on MGM.

The new Mick Herron (slow horses writer) adaptation about his female detective Zoe Boehm is meant to be good. Haven’t watched it yet…”Down Cemetery Road” with Emma Thompson as Zoe.

It’s the first one that is nowhere near the quality of the book (they change quite a lot), and they try to cram far too much plot into the 6 episodes. Plus the nastiness side of the characters is way over egged for my taste. Still watchable, but hopefully they up their game again for books 6 and 7 which are really excellent. Just stick to the bloody story and let it breathe innit. The actors will take care of the rest. And bring Louisa back!

Just do Blue Lights 3. Don’t need the soapy character backstory from 1&2.

What is that on?

Sounds good.

Blue Lights has been excellent every series but series 3 is fantastic.

Riot Women was good as well.

Need to go back to the Diplomat. Enjoyed series 1 but haven’t watched 2 and 3 yet.

Obviously Traitors has been great. Alan Carr is an absolute star.

There’s only 3 possible results in traitors now I reckon. David can’t win or be on the winning team, but he will decide it. Unless the producers come up up with a process twist.

Cat/Alan win, or Joe/Nick win as pairs, depending on who convinces David. Or Cat stitches up Alan and wins on her own. She’s great. I think the traitors have blown it though. David will vote with Joe and Nick to get rid of them both and then they’ll bin off David as they don’t need to take the risk. Assuming Nick doesn’t have a overthinking fit.

A favourite of yours with all that racism in it?

Aye - that and "Love thy neighbour"

Apple I think.

Apple I think.

That’s a shame. I’ll wait until the next time I have a free 3 months offer for it.

I think Joe and Nick will win now. I can’t see the others persuading David (who has been surprisingly useless).

It would have been brilliant at this stage if one of Nick / Joe was a traitor. Same as when Harry won it. Because they were useless at finding traitors we haven’t had a recruitment which would have thrown a spanner in the works.

Great series though. I was thinking it may be crap with celebs in it but it’s been really entertaining.

Apparently a recruited traitor has the biggest chance of winning it, so their incompetence actually delivered the ideal faithful strategy . My wife said earlier, ‘well they must know it’s Cat, as they were bound to pick a female traitor’. Didn’t like to admit that I hadn’t thought of that. If someone twigs that they’ll regret murdering Celia…although it was because of where she was sat.
