Enjoying a bit of Last Frontier on n Apple. Not Dominic Cooper is the right casting but Jason Clarke is good. Love a snowy wilderness for a setting too.
This is really good…

That Splinter Cell series was suprisingly great. Some of the recent animated video game adaptations have been terrible. (Looking at you Tomb Raider). Surprised how violent they made it. Apparently the show runner created John Wick, which explains the brutally choreographed fight sequences. Hope they do a second series

Finished Boots, bit Hollywoody at times but enjoyed it overall, decent music and I thought the lead actor was great, so much emotion expressed in his eyes and body language, really subtle and very unAmerican acting but really appropriate given the role he was playing.
About to start The Monster Of Florence, a really fascinating real life serial killer case, have high hopes, the trailer looks Zodiacesque.

I read the book about the Monster of Florence while staying in a remote farmhouse in rural Italy, Poor choice.

What’s happened to Slow Horses? This season feels very cariacatured, really exaggerating the features of the characters. The scene with the pot of paint in the most recent episode was like Laurel and Hardy

Yeah it’s been disappointing. Still sticking with it in the hope it’ll return to form but it’s been poor. Feels like they rushed it.

A few sleepless nights then?
If it’s the Douglas Preston book I was a bit obsessed with it for a while and was convinced they’d solved it but with more digging over the years it seems not.
A baffling, frustrating case.
I had a call out to an old lady the other night, lives in an old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. Dark and windy and she said there was someone in her house, had been in her bedroom, but was now downstairs. Don’t believe in any of that stuff yet I was proper freaked out.

Not sure if anyone else here is following The Lowdown. It definitely takes a LOT from The Big Lebowski, and starts a bit slow. However the last couple of episodes have really stepped up and it’s highly enjoyable!
Each episode focusses partly on a new character in the journey of the main character (with Ethan Hawke as a kind of a foil) and they’re getting better and better.

Will give it a shot - thanks!
A film for Halloween or any time really.
One Cut for the Dead.
A low budget Japanese zombie film.
I can almost guarantee that you’ll want to turn it off after 10 minutes. Stick with it.
Don’t google it, go in blind. I promise it’s worth it.
Anyone else seen it? No spoilers.
It’s on Amazon prime

It’s still great but agree this series feels a bit like they’ve phoned it in

I found it all highly predictable. Oldman still ace though, along with Kristin Scott Thomas and Saskia Reeves. I find the actor that plays Flyte so wooden. Next season will hopefully be a reform to form.
