I like Sugar. Yet to find anyone else that does…
Masters of the air is a perversion of history but looks great doing it… cliches abound (I gave up after 5 episodes)

So there was me thinking it was a noir’ish detective thing. Mrs likes it, me not so much. More twists than twisty thing. Best not talk about the accent either 
Quite liked High Desert on AppleTV, quirky Patricia Arquette channeling Jennifer Coolidge and arguable doing it better.

I loved the idiot British pilots with their twirly moustaches, monocles and Eton accents, totally relatable and not at all cliched

Started watching The Tattooist Of Auschwitz on Netflix but couldn’t get past the fact that they’d created this entire show with a massive budget, yet all the actors playing Polish and Hungarian characters had plummy British accents!! Turned me off after 10 minutes. Commit to the craft ffs!

On that tip I’m constantly baffled by showrunners/casting directors getting actors* to do non native accents when there has to be a 1000 native speakers who could do the job, no idea why Florence Pugh is ‘American’ in Dune 2, baffling, please explain…
*With the exception of Idris Elba in The Wire and Jacob Elordi in everything, he’s Australian and was awesome in Saltburn (and Euphoria) and Barry Keoghan gets all the plaudits for that dodgy scouse accent.

Why were the Fremen a mix of a whole bunch of incongruous accents? That and being painted as arabic, then the line (to paraphrase) “Once Arrakis was known by it’s Fremen name: Dune…”

Just saw Jacob Elordi as Elvis in Sofia Copolla’s “Priscilla” - so convincing, at times I forgot it was an actor. I can’t imagine the guy from Baz Luhrman’s Elvis film was as good (I can’t “do” Baz films, too OTT) - he was Australian as well from memory.
