The following are TV series that I have been watching - well streaming - of late.

Superman and Louis Season 2
Star Trek Discovery
The Expanse Season 6
Peacemaker - a new series based on the character from Suicide Squad 2

Yep, I just watched the new version of Suicide Squad or basically their second mission. It has Harley Quinn back in it. A new threat. Oh and the guy who did Dr.Who and The Thick Of it as an evil scientist. Lots of violence and blood as well. Great fun.

Thanks, OnionPlay!

Well, the forecast was for a rainy day and just a crappy day. However, after some early rain in the morning, the rest of the day remained dry, if mostly dull and overcast. Good to know that the forecast from Thursday onwards is mostly sunshine all the way. Also, Thursday is now my new day for doing some visits around south London. That is, Beckenham, Welling, and some train rides.

Yesterday I did my other stint in the common room. The classical and all kinds of music mix, but nobody came and I finished playing my CD's before six, and then I pondered that it might be more fruitful to do this in the winter months. Sunday was quite a sunny day despite not reaching above 19C.

I did watch overnight the complete MCU Infinity War and Endgame - once again - and then watched Spiderman Far From Home again, as the latter deals with the fallout from Thanos's click - taking out fifty percent of all life - and the Avengers blip. It is the blip that is relevant in the stories of the recent MCU TV shows, The Winter Soldier And The Falcon, and WandaVision, and to a lesser extent, Loki. One deals with the problem of having half the world population back and the consequences of rehabituation, and the other deals with the fact of losing a loved one (Vision) due to being snubbed out by Thanos, and hence creating a world where that loved one still exists as a television show, unable to face the fact of his demise.

Some shows I dom look forward to both TV and film we are The Eternals, and the Hawekey spin-off, and hopefully not too long, for the Guardians of The Galaxy 3!

Well, today is one of dullness and showers. At least we need the rain. I can watch more superhero movies and Tv shows that are currently airing or have aired. Using OnionPlay I have finally watched the Crisis on Infinite Earths Arrowverse crossover episode in the Batwoman series. Now that I can actually watch Batwoman I might try other episodes.
For my guilty pleasure I am watching the DC Comics Stargirl series. Thus is also on OnionPlay as well as Agents of SHIELD.

Stargirl takes up the mantle of her dad, Starman, who was part of the JSA that included The Flash or a pre-Crisis multiple universe version of him.

I see that our ITV 2 has taken up the new version of Roswell called Roswell,New Mexico. Not watched it as I feel that remakes are not as good as originals. See the shit they have done with Charmed for example. So my verdict as yet is undecided.

One really fun show was DC's Doom Patrol on the Amazon Starz site. I enjoyed watching that first season as much as the first season of Watchmen.

OnionPlay also had the Spider-Man Far From Home movie, plus Shazam! and the latest Harley Quinn movie. All good fun and not as serious as some of the others by Marvel or DC. Watched all of them as well as I missed these at the cinema before lockdown. In fact I can say that OnionPlay is much better than Shush.se.


I will post some trailers for the geeks who have not seen these shows.

I have been binge-watching DC's Titans season 3 on Netflix. I just love the series but the death of Wonder Girl at the end was a bit sad, but being part of those Amazonians (like Diana Prince) will be revived by her people and be back for the next season.

I am just about to watch Supergirl and then I realised I have a problem. Of the five episodes of Crisis, I will only be able to watch four of them. The reason - there is no company in Europe or UK who have picked up the rights to Batwoman - not even Sky - and thus the second part of Crisis I will not be able to watch! BOO fucking HOO!!!

Coming soon from December 8th and something I am waiting for -

Started watching this new series on Netflix. So far ,dark,violent and excellent. Stars a much darker Robin (after leaving his mentor Batman) ,Kory Anders  aka Starfire (a powerful woman from the planet Tamaran), Rachel Roth aka Raven (daughter of a demon) and Garfield Logan aka Beast Boy (a shapeshifter that can turn into an animal).  These are the Titans who are being hunted by the creepy Nuclear Family and others. I have watched the first three episodes.

Season 2 of Black Lightning is back on Netflix. I have just watched the second episode and I am loving it. I also dig the excellent music in the background. Some cool avant-garde jazz was in the background in this episode.

I wonder when Supergirl will come back or for that matter The Flash?

Last night i watched this movie at the Carlton in Westgate On Sea. This second film is even more funnier than the first. The cultrual refernces and the general irreverance to the comic book genre and the film process itself was just one part of this humourous, sometimes profound ,volent and slightly gorey, addition to the Marvel universe.It never takesit seriously. There was even a slap agianst DC Comics too! Without going in to details this is a fun film that, if you havve or haven't seen the first one -a lthough it does helpto have seen the first,i recommend this film without hesitation.
