Midway through Chernobyl the second time around and it just confirms my original opinion that it's one of the most gripping bits of TV that I've ever seen.
Seeing Paul Ritter in Chrernobyl prompted us to revisit Friday Night Dinner which remains a constantly very funny piece of TV.
Other stuff currently teed up on the usb drive includes:
Fargo - never seen it but am about to start on Season 1.
Hacks - an excellent show from the US about a veteran Las Vegas comedian and a much younger writer forced upon her by their agent. Jean Smart is, as ever, excellent as the lead character which must have a more that little of Joan Rivers in it.
Intelligence (Season 2) - Only two episodes so far but doesn't seem to be as good as the first season.
Justified - Watched the last two ever episodes last weekend. As I've said before, it's a modern western at heart and I just loved it from beginning to end - it never put a foot wrong although that would probably be quite difficult to do given that it was base up an Elmore Leonard story and he was involved in the production.
Lupin - Just getting to the end of Season 1 of this and already looking forward to Season 2 (which is available now). We thought it a great watch about a modern day french 'gentleman thief'. There are both sub-titled and English dubbed versions out there and surprisingly for me anyway, the dubbed one is better.
Manifest - got the last two episodes to watch. I've found it enjoyable but can't get over the impression that it's started to run out of steam. I doubt it would survive another season but we will see.
Mr Inbetween (Season 3) - I've mentioned this Australian comedy drama ( at leat, I think that's what it's supposed to be!) on here before - there are a lot worse ways to spend 30 minutes with the TV.
Tehran - Still to watch but looking forward to it.
The Irregulars - Still OK but another one that seems to be running out of steam a bit.
The Last Ship - Going to watch the very last two episodes this weekend. As I've said before, it can be a bit "God Bless America' but never fails to deliver some top notch action sequences.
The Mighty Boost - This is a bit marmite but I think it has moments of near genius off the wall comedy.
The Mosquito Coast - Not started yet but I hope it's as good as the book.
Your Honor - Only four episodes in but so far well worth watching just for the usual very solid performance by Bryan Cranston and, if it's need a good lesson in how lies can run away from you and spin everything out of control.
Looking forward:
Come on England!
Bosch - The new (and final) season kicks off on 26 June - can't wait for that one and the spin off series that's due next year.
Ted Lasso - 24 July is the date of the new season. If it;'s anything like the first, it will be well worth it.
Bloody hell, I didn't think I would go on that much - sorry.
