Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire  Wow, how could they mess up such a solid movie franchise? Well they did - massively. Extremely disappointing all round. The old guard were there, but mostly unused and the new team were insipid and dull. Awful really 3/10

Oh dear - disappointing to hear this as its predecessor was very good.

I love Ghostbusters and after the decent Afterlife I was really looking forward to this one. Maybe my anticipation was too high, which is why I disliked Frozen Empire so much. Carrie Coon and Paul Rudd are both actors I really like and they seemed wasted in this effort which is a real shame. Of course I may seem over harsh and my wife thought it wasn't as bad as I did. YMMV.

The second series of Them. It's not a sequel rather an: "Anthology horror series with varying characters and locations by season, featuring different aspects of the horror genre."

The first season was dark, traumatic and suffocating at times. This time it's more of a serial killer-type story. But I've only watched 2 episodes thus far and it could go anywhere really as the weird events unfold - all chilling and very strange stuff indeed.

Nearly finished season 1 of "Why Women Kill".

Was beginning to think it was a little dull after the 3rd or 4th episode but stuck with it and its really building very nicely to the finale(s)

A Channel 4 documentary about Joe Pasquale's son Joe Tracini who has borderline personality disorder - Voice in My Head. Terribly sad at times it was incredibly well done. I knew nothing about this condition before, but it shows the effects these illnesses can completely take over a life as it follows Joe through his day-to-day life. Really, just watch it.

Resumed working my way through Breaking Bad.

Intended to watch two episodes last night, but of course I had to cram in another, S02 Ep 01.

I hardly ever describe something as a "masterpiece" - but this really is a modern masterpiece.

Just finished Fallout. Excellent.

Last night we rattled through the last 4 episodes of season 2 of Clarkson's Farm. Compulsive viewing once you start. Even Sian is hooked, and she detests Mr. Clarkson.

Series 1 of Interview With The Vampire. I've only very recently read Anne Rice's book and so was looking forward to this reimagination of the story. Well the shell of the story is the same, but a lot is changed, for the better? Actually I think it is. The book is dull at times, but this version moves things along at a pace. Of course the major change is that the main character is now black (the actor played Grey Worm in GoT) - but I really think the story has improved a lot because of this; it gives the whole thing a new perspective for the characters. Also whilst it was intimated in the book the love story between the 2 main, male vampires in the TV show it's blatant and no holds barred. There is also some nudity and also violence which was left to the imagination in the book, but here it's sudden and quite shocking - infrequent though. I haven't seen the movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt but I'm really enjoying this TV series. Series 2 has just started as well.

Watching Top Boy, season 3 now, the 1st Netflix driven season.
I like it, the drama seems somewhat genuine. It's a no winner type of story, which I like

With the wife we're watching Yellowstone. I am always well behind the masses when it comes to things like this.

[R6GYY]

Finally got around to watching Bullet Train. Terrific fun.

Season 9 ep 1 of Inside No 9... Dark!

[pxr5]

Beacon 23 series 2. The first season wasn't great but this is worse. Maybe the fact that Lena Headey is no longer in it or that the story is as weak as cricket p!ss but whatever, it just isn't good. A shame really as I love these 'isolated in space' type shows normally. 3/10 for series 2, 4/10 overall.

Finished Top Boy, good bit of drama. There is, however, a very good chance that I need to change my opening word for Wordle into 'innit', innit?

A few episodes in with Blue Lights, really good
