Well worth a watch. He’s basically saying that the entire US system is at risk, the ‘ponzi scheme’ that has sustained DT till now. With the Gulf vulnerable too…

Really struck me when he said the US are using $1,000,000 a piece missiles to take out $50,000 drones…

Had the misfortune of watching the Guy Ritchie Young Sherlock last night with the preposterously named Hero Fiennes Tiffin in the lead role (can’t imagine how he landed that gig)

Basil Rathbone/ Jeremy Brett he is not.

No depth, no charisma in the portrayal - avoid.

Read the review in The Guardian and assumed his name was the usual Guardian typo until I looked him up. :man_shrugging:

I’ve been re-watching The Terror. It was one of the highlights of lockdown TV for me. Seems like an allegory of those times in a way, looking back now. A group of people stuck with nowhere to go, and being picked off by an unseen malevolent force, eventually turning on thier authority figures. Its utterly bleak, and there is no light at the end of it. Not sure what that says about me ha

I loved this too. Some superb performances. I seem to remember a completely unrelated second season that I couldn’t get into.

Also starring another plucky underdog, Maximilian Paul Diarmuid Irons, no one does nepotism quite like the English arts establishment these days.

Hilarious

(Although the idea that anyone would cheat on Rachel Weisz is ridiculous)

Been dipping into a few parts unknown episodes- so many seasons it’s nice to pick where you fancy going in the world sometimes, Bourdain’s legacy as a documentarian still impresses me

This is next on my list.

On a completely different note. I had to watch The Dyers Caravan Park after this 1 star review by The Guardian. I was not disappointed! The Dyers’ Caravan Park review – this lazy, shambolic show does nothing to help the real people involved | Danny Dyer | The Guardian
