Nearing the end of Bones season 9.

When we've finished all 12 seasons of Bones, the next long running beast we are going to tackle (again) is The West Wing .

The second season of the excellent Upload. 2 eps in out of 7 and only 30 odd minutes long each one. It has a lot of charm this show, with a decent amount of humour. 9/10 thus far.

Just finished Inventing Anna on Netflix. Highly enjoyable and recommended

The podcast is excellent as well on BBC sounds

We completed Se02 of Upload tonight. I think this is another of those shows affected by Covid as it felt rushed (only 7 eps) and it finished with obviously a lot more to come. 8/10

Just finished series 2 of Raised by Wolves. Whilst series 1 started well, it got a bit messy later on. However, this series starts well and stays good throughout. Lots more to come as there is a lot unresolved - in fact there are some really weird events going on and it's full of mystery and intrigue.

Also up to episode 4 of the final series of Peaky Blinders. I loved Peaky Blinders, but this series is a big let down for me. There isn't actually much going on and I'd go as far to say it's really gone up its own arse - too many lingering shots, ineffective music without any substance, it all just seems so ridiculous and convoluted now. I understand the final episode will be feature length as a practice for a spin-off movie. I just hope it improves - a lot.

4 episodes in to Series 3 of Servant. Still dead weird and no wiser as to actually what is going on. Good though.

Boiling point on Netflix. Stressful chef/restaurant film.

Finished series 3 of Servant - I enjoyed it as a whole, but answers need to start coming. It's only so long the makers can keep up this mystery - 3 series now and still no real idea wth is going on.

Finished Peaky Blinders last night. It did improve a bit in the last 2 episodes, but overall a disappointing series. I'm glad it's all over tbh.

Now watching season 3 of Snowpiercer, still as daft as ever but a guilty pleasure.

A final season has been approved I think...
