What are you watching?

Love me some crime TV from around the world, and if you liked Gomorrah I highly recommend ‘Kin’ set in Dublin and made by RTE. Second series just aired…really good stuff

“Francis Magee is terrifying as Bren is every scene…” totally…his acting coupled with the amazing sound design = incredible dread / tension

…Martin Short is great in it, no idea why he isn’t top top tier Hollywood, absolutely ace in Inherent Vice.

Watch couple of episodes of this last night, same subject as Dopesick but at bit faster paced, definitely worth a look.

Thanks to all who recommended the bear … zipped through series one after one false start where I couldn’t get into it. Second series shaping up nicely too

Working my way through Curb season 3. So good.

Also Ralph Fiennes directorial debut Coriolanus is on Mubi right now. Great adaption of a Shakespeare into modern day by an actual Thespian.

Other than that, footballs back.

i’ve found that people who love ‘easy rider’ hate ‘two lane blacktop’ - and vice versa. especially the ones who saw them when they first came out.

me myself, i’m on team ‘two lane blacktop’.

Starting the new season of How To: With John Wilson. The camera-toting sociologist we need!

I lived in New York for a time and it is pure nostalgia for the insanity of that city. Brilliant.
