    The Pacific.
    Nowhere near as good as Band Of Brothers but still pretty good with US troops island hopping to kill the Japanese. 8/10.

    I absolutely adored Alex, right from when they first met and her running to jump in his car was a really lovely moment, but her demise was too obvious and by the time Spencer picked her up I knew she was done.

    In summary, I cried more when Jude left. :laugh:

    Daisy Haggard and Martin Freeman are glorious in this, their portrayal of the two main characters are both brilliant and alarming in equal measures. I wish it could have gone on forever.

    2 episodes of season 2 left and still digging it. She's certainly not ugly, difficult to think about when she's being treated as she is :laugh:

    That first picture looks nothing like Elisabeth Moss, I'd never have guessed it was her if you hadn't said.

    The first couple of seasons of Handmaids Tale are great, it goes rapidly downhill after that. June has some unbelievable plot armour and the continual escaping from Gilead only to end up back in it becomes increasingly tiresome.

    And that's before you get to the fact it becomes increasingly bleak, as if the writers have got a bet on to make each episode more unrelentingly depressing than the last.

    The Eternaut
    Argentinian series based on a really old comics about alien invasion.

    Just six episodes & the season ends with the main reveal. Storywise nothing out of the ordinary if you haven't watched alien invasion movies/series, & yet I found this an entertaining watch because they have narrated this nicely with well rounded characters.

    Really looking forward to the second season.

    Love Death & Robots (Season 4)
    Very disappointing fourth season. All style & no attempt to work on the stories. The first short is a pointless music video by David Fincher. I know he made music videos in the past, & the RHCP video in itself is well done, but what was the point of having it here.

    Of the ten shorts I only really liked three.

    Always watch Subbed versions of all series. Never like dubbed versions.

    I’m the same, the acting is always terrible when dubbed, although in fairness the acting in this was pretty ordinary..

    Im sure it’s noted that I’m a big Star Wars fan but what an incredible series of TV this was. S1 was amazing but S2 is takes it to another level, episodes 8-12 are absolutely impeccable

    Platform 7.

    I'm halfway through a four part series about a girl who presumably commited suicide at a train station and now lives in a sort of purgatory, roaming around platform 7, but her memory is coming back and all is not what it seems as to why she topped herself.

    s'alright.

    As you said there's nothing original about this alien invasion series, and it's a pretty low budget affair. However, they do very well with what they have and there are several twists along the way, it was a bit too slow in the first couple of episodes but picked up nicely after that. I liked it.

    Bloodline 6/10

    The first season was great, the second one poor, before getting a bit better in the third season. It is worth watching but ran out of steam.

    I stopped watching it because I didn't want the brother (John) to get caught.

    Ripper Street Series 1-5.
    A gruesome depiction of the police in East London in the 1890s not long after the Jack The Ripper murders starring Matthew Macfadyen,Adam Rothenberg,Jerome Flynn and Myanna Buring,it was mostly a good watch but in series 5 it lost it's way a bit for me. 8.8/10.
