We were delighted to find we'd somehow not noticed there was a new(ish) season of Resident Alien, great show, Alan Tudyk is brilliant in it.

Ended up quite liking Baby Reindeer, largely from the point where it starts to pull the curtain back a bit and it lets you make a bit more sense of its lead. Worth noting for anyone sticking it on expecting a casual watch though, that this is also the point at which it ratchets up in intensity quite dramatically.
Also pleasantly surprised by Fallout! The games have never appealed to me, but I feel like this does a pretty good job spinning its yarn while balancing between serious and irreverent. Feel like they got the casting very right, too.
Also now a few episodes into Ripley. I'm coming to this having never read the book or even having watched the prior film adaptation. On one hand it's a vehicle for Andrew Scott to deep dive into a very layered lead character, but by far the most remarkable thing is that it plays in black and white and the photography is so artistically considered that it's actually quite distracting. Not sure if I'm actually enjoying this just yet, but it's certainly very striking.

We started watching Slow Horses (Apple tv) over the weekend. Set around a group of intelligence agents who've screwed the pooch in some way or another and found themselves in the team equivalent of the naughty step. Way more than the 'team-of-misfits' set up might suggest ... the writing is top notch and Gary Oldman is gold in every single scene.

Finished Only Murders in the Building (Disney+) and I thought it was a bit rubbish, with a massive mystery they spend most of the series deducing is bloody obvious.
They faff around being annoying and narcissistic.
Also finished Fallout, which was really good and as a fan of the series made me want to play it again.
I think I'm one of the few who didn't love it, though. Felt Goggins' The Ghoul was a horrible character and I dunno, seemed really dark and gory in places for the sake of it.
It IS good though and a great videogame adaptation.
Watching a bit of Dr. Who (McCoy era) at lunch, I'm up to Remembrance of the Daleks, which was a real standout and is still decent today.

It was okay but very similar to the first seasons arc, it's easy to picture the show growing stale soon
I got bored with the books after a while because I got bored of this infallible hobo tramp going around being right about everything.
I've much preferred the John Milton series by Mark Dawson.
I'd watch another series of Reacher, but it'll be interesting if it's "more of the same".
Never hurt the likes of Poirot or Columbo, I suppose.

There's not much to say as the series is technically the same thing but this run was much stronger than the second one, some really strong moments in it

I do remember it but not well. The format just didn't really work. Thing is, it had some good characters and good actors but the different structure of the show really hit it hard and, with whatever had happened in season 8, I feel they were starting to lose a handle on it anyway. I guess I'll see how it holds up soon.

The wife and I have been watching S1 and S2 of Vigil on BBC iPlayer and really enjoyed it.
It's properly up my street where a seemingly innocuous death could be murder, but unravelling the facts is tricky because it's wrapped up in military red tape, which then expands to a bigger story.
Great lead characters and exciting, if far-fetched, storylines.
There's not S3 planned, but it's not not happening and the creators are open to another series.
I liked the way that Rose Leslie was pregnant during filming S2, but they wrote that into the story.
She must've been exhausted!
We have the last episode to watch tonight.
Yeah, so if you like your murder-mystery stuff like we do, this could be a good couples choice.

I got to see the first two episodes of The Acolyte. It's intriguing enough to make me want to watch the rest of it.
