Just found a thing called Fallet which is a pisstake Scandi noir and good fun at ep1.
You probably all saw it in telly last year but it's new to me.

Don't call us,we'll call you.
Watched ep 1 of boarderliner a Norwegian Scandi noir. Dark skies, deep forests and characters whose bleak serious personalities blend well with the landscape.
Hooked already.
Boardertown next on my to watch list.

Babylon Berlin - German drama set in the Weimar Republic.
Flappers, Trotskyist conspiracies and the sexually and morally ambiguous denizens of the Berlin demi-monde.
Featuring a musical interlude that's like Marlene Dietrich meets Laibach .
Four episodes in and quite enjoying it.

Is that on UK Netflix? I looked a while back but couldn't see it as it was on a sky channel (iirc)
Just watched the first two episodes. It's a pretty out there story. It's over 6 hours which is a lot for a documentary series on one subject but its going along nicely so far.
I reckon Corbyn and his more ardent followers are one general election away from crowd funding a similar experiment in the Lake District.

I watched the first one...swung between totally unengaged to fairly enjoying it.
Will definitely watch the 2nd at least.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Lost in Space has far far too much melodrama. Far too much. Fucking crying all the time. Just suffocate in a frozen lake with some dignity please. Automatically skipped flashback scenes. Fuck right off with that, anything with this level of mawky shite is going to have eyewateringly bad flashback scenes
I'll give it to more eps. And wheres the old scientist bloke who everyone thinks was a nonce irl?

It's in the scenes you skipped.

Yeah, I'm just at the bit where they're starting to develop the b-movie style wrestling plots. Very funny. The director guy's rationale/justification for "welfare queen" was
I also started On My Block the other day. A kind of coming of age tale set amongst working class black and latino teens. 2 episodes in, and definitely a cut above the average teen drama. Sweet and funny enough to entertain, but also gritty and real enough to provoke thought. Got some excellent reviews, but I never noticed any fanfare when it dropped last month.
On my Block, Everything Sucks and First Match are all good coming of age/teen dramas I'd recommend...

It does get better. Not spectacular but perfectly watchable. On ep 7 now.

Oh it won't win any awards, but it's an easy watch. There's nothing brilliant out there just now and it passes the time, it's decent popcorn. It makes you hate the current Dr Smith a lot more than anyone hated the old one and it spreads its arcs through the young, teenage and adult. I've been all of them.
By far the most interesting story-line is Will and robot.

Been watching The Ministry of Time which is a Spanish series about time travelling secret agents from different eras trying to preserve Spain's history. It's a bit batty but quite funny and interesting....Velázquez is always in their office doing drawings of suspects amongst other daftness.

What bothered me was the fact it was cold enough to flash-freeze a lake but none of them were even wearing hats. Also three quarters of a mile away the little boy was strolling around a temperate forest in what appeared to be pleasantly autumnal conditions.
Also temperatures don't drop that fast in earth-like atmospheres. It's basic thermodynamics, energy can't just vanish all of a sudden just because the sun has gone down.
If anything the PTSD bits redeem the show somewhat. I'm getting sick of sci-fi and genre TV in general subjecting characters to some new harrowing experience every week with no apparent consequences.
But now that I think of it, the girl in the frozen lake was dying of lack of air yes? But they were in a breathable atmosphere, so once they'd exposed her hand they could have just stabbed a hole in her glove and hey presto, a breathing hole. Probably not an ideal situation but several steps up from death by asphyxiation.
I was watching it via VPN.

I'd try to change the outcome of the Civil War if I was on that team.
I might check this out. How does a drama like that work in a country with as controversial past as Spain?

My appreciation of the show is sadly a bit lacking as I know little of Spanish history.

Up to date now with Santa Clarita Diet. It's such good fun and I am totally on board with what happened in the last ep of S2 
Started watching Fallet. 2 episodes in and it's not as funny as I was expecting but it's a pleasant-enough distraction.
