Last night we watched the overly long movie, Reptile over on Netflix. At 2 hours plus this felt like it could have been 90 minutes and it would still have felt like it was too long. Why? An overly meandering storyline that, quite frankly, failed dismally to go anywhere. The …

Paradise S2, 2026 ★★★½
It took a while to get there after meandering all over the place. But season 2 of Dan Fogelman’s series, Paradise finally got there in the end. That is, after what feels like a complete change of direction mid season. A pivot that cleared away half the cast and, along with …

Godzilla, 2014 ★★★★½
Looking for something to watch last night (as I’m in between books) I watched the 2014 version of Godzilla starring Ken Watanabe, Brian Cranston and a very short lived, Juliette Binoche. I have a really big soft spot for Godzilla movies and so, given they’re all …

Dark Matter S2, 2026 ★★½
I forgot to ask everyone this morning, but who here watched the season opener of Dark Matter over on Apple this weekend? Anyone? And, of course, what did you think of it? I’m not going to lie, I struggled at the best of times to get through season 1 and then, at the end, …

The Mitchells vs the Machines, 2026 ★★★★
So Sunday evening, at a loss as to what to watch given we were camped out on the couch, huddled under a blanket, staring out the window at the rain coming down in veritable sheets. I said to the OH pick something funny, silly, and quirky, thinking they’d find a decent enough …

Silo S3 E5, 2026 ★★★★
Finally, got to see this week’s episode of Silo and, wow, this is what we’ve all been waiting for. And finally, some action, and answers as to what’s been going on while we weren’t looking. We’ve had 4 torturous episodes of being spoon fed tiny snippets of information and …

War Machine, 2026 ★★½
This movie was one long testosterone fuelled promo advert for the US Army Rangers, what with all the machismo and chest thumping, gruff voices, and lone-wolf attitudes I felt like I needed a shower afterwards. Over baked and undercooked, this one lacked enough ingredients to …

Sugar S1 E1-3, 2024 ★★★½
Following on from watching Tehran yesterday, we started, or I should say, I started watching Sugar on Apple TV. The OH didn’t like it and, after about 10 minutes, left me to watch it on my own. I have to admit, I found it a little off to begin with but, stuck with it through to …

Tehran S3, 2026 ★★★★½
We watched the last couple of episodes from S3 of Tehran last night and, let me say, it ended with a Bang! A very satisfying bang at that. The build-up through three season of this Israeli spy thriller has been expertly done, with twisty, savvy, politically-dripping storylines …

What's on TV?
As we have 3 months of Apple TV for free, we started binge watching one show after another. And, last night, watched the first few episode of the world’s worst TV show, ever: Star City. I mean, come on people, every last character on this really show was speaking with a regional …
