Big fan of After Hours also. Re-watched it a couple of years ago, still good.

Totally. The Kodak/Carousel episode of Mad Men is one of my favourite TV moments.

Finally finished S02 of Andor on Disney+. In summary, it took about nine episodes to get going. I loved the first season (and Rogue One) but found this season hard to follow and difficult to engage with – I almost gave up several times. The last three episodes, though, were great.

There were definitely several filler episodes. Loved the Ghorman(?) outfits and French accents though

Just finished a re-watch of Chernobyl. Realised its from the same writer / showrunner as Last Of Us, and it’s arguably the superior series.
Hard to fathom what a monumental f-ck up that was.
Love Jared Harris.

Been meaning to watch Chernobyl for ages, this could be the nudge I needed as love Last of Us

Mad Men is just so good. Currently half way through season 4 on a rewatch. There’s so much going on in the background that you miss unless you go back and watch it again.

We gave The Fablemans a go on a transatlantic flight. Given Spielberg’s recent middling output we found it actually rather good, it felt sneakily well-written and should be as the script is by Tony Kushner. The young Spielberg doing a Riefenstahl “Olympia” on the jock bullies in his class was kind of brilliant. And David Lynch as John Ford…chef’s kiss.
Watched the first part of this on catch up, good stuff so far.

I watched Bill & Ted Face The Music with my son the other night. Now you don’t have to. God awful.

Watched both episodes myself last night, really good viewing. Mad to think what goes on so close to home ain’t it.

Fascinating Andy Wallace interview, I’ve always wondered how he created the massive sound of Nirvana and RATM

The Synanon Fix on HBO. Great doc about an LA self help group that starts out with the best intentions… As ever the good fun bit sounds great and then the egos get involved but pretty fascinating attempt to do things differently at the start…

Just started with Curb Your Enthusiasm. I’m at two episodes and it’s pretty funny.

Love curb, was just revisiting one of my favourite scenes which I always think of whenever my wife tells me she is taking my daughter away for the weekend.

The Long Shot. It brought a smile to my dish.
I’ve just finished Seinfeld so this is a natural next step

Last saturday morning I was marvelling at the fact that within a couple of minutes of remembering a particular sketch (in this case Mocha Joe’s new coffee shop) I was able to access approximately 120 episodes of Curb and find what i was looking for. The fact that I got a bit of Leon’s wisdom “You never see anyone wearing a Maga hat backwards…”) and watch Larry nonchalantly snap a selfie stick, kick over a line of scooters and offer his advice on why not to joggle a fetus was more than just a bonus.
Of course my daughter watched on with a bit of bemusement (she drinks Mochas, hence the showing) but I dare say she’ll pick it up at some point in her life.
Surely the greatest show ever?
