That DA and the Chief of Police were real pieces of work, probably only the tip of the iceberg of what they were charged with and what they’d really been getting away with over the years/decades, Copland a very apt comparison.
Undefendable that the police had been given a good, solid description of the perp, height and type of vehicle he drove, and did nothing about it but not surprising sadly, it’s happened many times before in these types of cases.

Well, thought the White Lotus finale was pretty good. Not up there with S1 and S2 but not bad. Pretty much a feel bad ending. Not all of it landed, some of it silly and bit of a stretch.
Onto The Last Of Us which beings this Sunday. Hyped

Less impressed with the white lotus than I was after the first two series. It took a long time to get nowhere much, and I guessed the big reveal in the first episode.

Same. Left a bit empty by the finale. Was still pretty great just a bit boring and pretty great.

Episode 1 of the new Black Mirror. Still one of the best TV series out there.
Yes similar - I really enjoyed the series but felt the ending was a bit disappointing. Still one of the best things around though.

Just confirmed that Bobby Gillespie is a massive bellend.

Let me guess, did he invent the Delta Blues aged 12 on the bus whilst reading Marx?

I think they focused on being a bit cute with the messaging and easter eggs than catering to what the audience might want. There was a LOT to digest
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW
Every main character who died looked up and saw nothing as they slipped away. The only one who saw anything was also the only person who wasn’t searching for something (money, spirituality, connection, answers, revenge) to improve their life. The only thing that person wanted was to help others. At the beginning of the very first episode the events happen in a very different way to the end of the last episode (no monkey with a phone, no bodies floating by, no Zion in the water, etc). Why is that? The message around Belinda and how she behaves toward Pornchai once her situation changes, and how it echoes how she was treated is pretty delectable. What influences her desire, what influences Mook’s desire. Also the general theme of money- the “brotherly love” arc I believe is a comment on billionaires, and how you can be absolutely despicable and do despicable things, but you will only be judged for your wealth not your actions.
There’s a lot going on under the surface of the show dealing with wealth, the metric of personal worth, status/class, empathy. It’s more than just a convoluted tale.

Definitely not at the cool end of things but we’ve been glued to Gladiators - it’s the final tonight.
My kids are 6 and 4 and it’s the first thing we have watched as a family and it’s lovely how into it they are (my son apparently told my daughter he wants to marry Dynamite).

Yep. Everything is a flex with Gillespie-never got the impression there’s much beneath the surface

Attacks people for not being left wing enough while sending his kids to private school. Bell end.

just the way he treated Martin Duffy shows you what a “socialist” he is.

Started a new show last night starring Jon Hamm called “Your Friends and Neighbours”. He really shines in the lead role as a recent divorcee and high flying exec who loses his job and turns to robbing the wealthy set he was formerly a part of. Recommended for fans of White Lotus and Mad Men.

I enjoyed The White Lotus S3 but agree it did feel a little bit rushed at the end. Chelsea and Parker Posey’s character Victoria were brilliant though.

Unfortunately the BBC don’t even get days 3 and 4 of the Masters anymore but exemplary commentary from Chappers & Co on Five Live last night. Well played Rory McIlroy. First major in over 10 years.
