I’m nearing the end of re watching ‘Le Bureau des Legendes’ on DVD & Blu-ray.
Only series 1 on DVD has English subtitles. Then only series 2 to 5 on Blu-ray have English subtitles.
Brilliant series. Well worth your time.
“The Bureau (original title: Le Bureau des Légendes) is a French espionage thriller television series created and co-written by Éric Rochant and produced by TOP – The Oligarchs Productions and Canal+, which revolves around the lives of agents of the DGSE (General Directorate of External Security), France’s principal external security service.” Via Wikipedia.
I’m currently watching Dark, the German Netflix Original.
I think it’s probably one of the best time-travel scifi ever created.
watching Gundam Gquuux, it’s been fun and I like the alternate timeline
Catching up after a couple of weeks away, so:
The Righteous Gemstones - after an unfocussed start to the 4th and final season, it has picked up again in the second half. One more to go.
Sirens - the new, much vaunted miniseries, and another in the ‘aren’t rich people terrible’ genre. I have only seen the first ep so far. I will continue, but that episode didn’t really live up to the hype, IMHO.
The Eternaut - Intriguing Argentine apocalypse tale. Also only the first ep so far, but I am definitely hooked.
Murderbot - I’ve been looking forward to this one, having read the first few books. It has been cricitised for being slow, but I am enjoying it so far.
Poker Face - the return of this neo-Columbo show. It is as undemandingly entertaining as before.
Babylon Berlin - halfway through season 1 and it continues to be stylish, grim and gripping.
Your Friends and Neighbors - and another ‘aren’t rich people terrible’ tale, which is developing engagingly.
Normally not an anime guy, but I ended up watching both seasons of Solo Leveling, and it was really good! Kind of just mindless fun, sure, but nice to have on in the background so I could look over at a cool fight if I was bored.
I’m watching S2 house of dragon! It’s gorgeous but slow and I can’t keep track of characters. Absolutely fucking loved the battle episode, although I watched it behind my hands. Only 2 episodes to go! Enjoying it overall
I watched Mickey 17. It didn’t deserve the hate it got; I thought it was fun and original.
Agreed. I didn’t consume many reviews until after I watched it and was confused. Did people go in expecting a different genre of movie? Something more artsy and less humorous maybe? It’s not going to win Oscars, but it is a solid adaption of the book and representative of the genre.
The anime Fiern. Usually when a friend suggests an anime they will usually say to endure the first few weak episodes to get to the good ones. No need of this advice for Fiern
Watched Taskmaster. Very good, enjoying this season a lot.
