jazzy_daveI have been doing some binge-watching via Prime and BBC iPlayer recently.
I caught up with five episodes of Only Connect on BBC.
Watched a series called Primeval New World on Prime. !3 episodes that lasted one season. based on the old ITV Primaeval this Canadain production was just not as good as the Brit original. Mind you, the Brit original was marginally better but not much. It was eye candy. The idea of time portals randomly opening up to the dinosaur age is a good one but the storytelling floundered in the end.
Then there was this weird film called Midsommar. A 2019 film which is a folk horror film written and directed by Ari Aster and starring Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper, Vilhelm Blomgren, Ellora Torchia, Archie Madekwe, and Will Poulter. It follows a group of friends who travel to Sweden for a festival that occurs once every 90 years and find themselves in the clutches of a pagan cult. Anyway, it was okay and apparently got very good critical reviews. I beg to differ.
The best series at the moment IMNHO has to be Pickard, followed by Supergirl and Thre Flash.
Apart from that, I have been engrossed in music and reading.
Some trailers of said drama -
Primeval New World - 2013
Original ITV Version -
On the whole, the first two seasons of the original version was good.
