I’m always rubbish at watching TV but I like to think that I’m (perhaps very slowly) getting better. Mostly with P’s help. In spite of struggling to sit still for more than 15 minutes without getting distracted by something, I have managed to get through just a few series, many of which I loved. Here’s my… Continue reading Favourite TV shows of 2017
I only ever discover new TV shows because people recommend them to me. Usually, the person who recommends them is P (although, it must be said that he does so with care because he knows that if I like the show I’m going to seriously slow down the rate at which he’ll get to watch… Continue reading TV series review: Hap and Leonard
By now I am sure that everyone and their dogs has watched Stranger Things Season 2 and, as usual, I am behind. If you’ve noticed a lot of TV series reviews lately and you’re thinking that I’m watching a lot more TV than usual you’re partly right: It’s awful outside and I’m trying to save… Continue reading TV Series Review: Stranger Things S2
I’m generally fascinated by true crime – I was a huge fan of Seriel, Making a Murderer, The Jinx and, perhaps to a slightly lesser extent, The Staircase and I’m always on the lookout for the next true crime documentary to watch. I’m also fascinated by psycopathy and Jon Ronson’s The Psychopath test is one… Continue reading TV series review: Mindhunter
I’ve been using these short to-read lists lately, where I pick around 10 books I’d like to read next, and I’ve been finding them really helpful because my long to-read list is… unwieldy and when I have ~100 books to choose from I find it much harder to make a decision than when I only… Continue reading New to the queue (end of 2017)
One of the first books I read this year was American Gods. It was kind of an accident, I finished the paperback I was reading on a long train journey and just picked the first thing on my Kindle, which happened to be American Gods. At the time, I hadn’t yet heard that they were… Continue reading TV series review: American Gods
Season 1 of Suits came out in 2011. I’m just writing that so you know that I know that I’m reviewing old TV. Thing is, I started watching it one weekend when P was away, based on a random Netflix recommendation and I was immediately hooked. I never watch more than a couple of episodes of… Continue reading TV series review: Suits S1
I feel like I’ve been following the Archer series forever. It’s one of those weird comedy cartoon series that somehow never seems to disappoint. While I’d rather scoop out my own eyes than watch Family Guy and while Southpark is genuinely starting to piss me off, Archer always gets it right (see also, Rick and… Continue reading TV series review: Archer Dreamland
I can’t believe that it’s been four years since the first episode of Orphan Black was released. Those introductory sequences with Tatiana Maslany meeting someone who looks exactly like her were so promising that I was almost hesitant to get too into the series – I was too worried it would get cancelled. Fortunately for… Continue reading TV series review: Orphan Black S5
I know for a fact that I am not the only person who has recently become totally and irredemably addicted to the new Netflix series, GLOW. Even so, I enjoyed it so much that I’m going to review it anyway, so if you’re sick of hearing about it I’m sorry, but I can only assume… Continue reading TV series review: GLOW
