Just finished season 1 of 13 Reasons Why. Best thing I've watched in a while although pretty grim at times.

Tim Roth is superbly creepy in it.

Trivedi (in Gaitonde's timeline he was the one who hung around with Parulkar and Bhosale (the minister) and who was implied to be the front man for Guruji. It was his flat that Anjali was murdered in as well.)

o`dear o`dear Reg what have you done now ?
This was brilliant one of best things I watched last year.

That's what I thought.....but
who killed him?!? Gaitonde? Had he been in that bunker from the beginning?? "everyone will die except Trivedi" because Trivedi was already dead??

in the first episode Gaitonde actually says (or at least the translation subtitle says) "Everyone will die. Only Trivedi will be safe". I have no idea who killed him, though you'd think it was Gaitonde (given how the Algerian bloke said (IIRC) he had betrayed them).

It's old and been recommended before but I rewatched the first episode of Abstract: The Art Of Design with a friend last night and thought I'd post for anyone who hadn't seen them.
8 45minute documentaries about a designer of some kind (illustrator is the first one, guy who designed the Nike air trainers is the second, there's an architect, a stage designer and some others), basically just them talking about their practice.
Really well done, interesting documentaries about design, even if you're not interested in the thing they are doing, it's interesting to hear them talk about their process, philosophy and ideas.
Don't mistake it for another series recently released which I think is called The Art of..., and I assumed was another series of these but actually had 3 or 4 different people in each episode so none had enough time to be of interest, and was a really poor series.

Not Netflix...sorry...
But 'Strange Angel' is worth a mention, on CBS but I got it on free streaming site.
1940 in LA and follows 2 guys who want to develop rockets, one is very cavalier and wants to go to the moon asap and the other is more academic and realises they actually need to develop rocket science first. They land a scholarship at Caltech to develop this, but that's only half the plot, the actor who played Quin in Homeland is the neighbour of the cavalier rocket man and is apparently into Aleister Crowley and black magic. How these 2 strands come together is proving interesting. Good characters and the Quin character particularly borders well on being philosophically nihilistic and just nuts. I've only seen 3 eps but I like it. There's an overall warm glow of nostalgia to it, Quin has an old motorbike he roars around on, zoot suits and warm LA sunshine.

Enjoyed 1898: Our Last Men in The Philippines, last night.
It's about the Seige of Baler which I was unaware of. True story of a Spanish garrison on The Philippines during the Philippine Revolution, who continued to fight on for 6 months after the war had ended despite a number of Spanish emissaries coming to tell them that the conflict was over. With communications to the outside world cut off, the Spanish commander refused to believe that hostilities had ended and thought they were trying to trick him into surrendering whilst the garrison lost men to sickness and fighting.

I finished all of Wallander (Branagh) - they were entertaining in an miserable and bleak way....
I never warm to Branagh on screen usually, but I warmed to his portrayal of this character.

They are excellent. I warthed them all a few months back and was sceptical cos I love the Swedish versions but the Branagh ones are so good, I ended up bingeing the lot.

Should I watch the Swedish versions?

Yes definitely.

Merry Xmas!
Watching American Crime Story - The People V OJ Simpson.
Fascinating and trashy with a great cast. It defines a moment in time when US race relations/the media circus/fame etc all coalesced into something so grotesque and bizarre... back in Ireland I remember thinking "only in America". It's a bit clunky in parts but very watchable.

It is a hoot. I'm loving it, and David Tennant is always great as a voice actor.
