Now I watched all the other series back to back, I watched the film The Immortal, but I probably could’ve done with a catch-up of the last episode of the previous series. I found myself thinking, ‘Who’s she again?’
Anyone invested any time in to 'See', the Jason Momoa series. Am an episode in and liking it so far.
Premise is that humankind has been reduced to 2 million people, all of which have lost the ability to see. Until, that is, twins are born with sight.
We’ve been watching this. There are two seasons. Don’t think it needs another one. It’s ok, but a couple of things are a bit daft:
The queen’s voice is fucking infuriating. I’ve read that the actress (Sylvia Hoeks) did it deliberately to demonstrate that, in a world with no vision, voice tone is everything and the queen needs to display an aloofness while also being mysterious. All very well, but it’s like nails down a fucking blackboard. Also, Jason Momoa walks around like a chimp all the time. He’s supposed to be showing an awareness of his surroundings or something, but nobody else does it. Even the numerous other blind badasses in the show. If they wanted an ape impersonator they should’ve got Andy Serkis in.
I watched Walking with….Jim Moir ( Vic Reeves ) last Saturday morning on Beeb2 and thought it was the most chilled out bit of TV I’ve ever seen. Half an hour of Jim walking in Kent with a selfie stick to film his meandering's was probably the best bit of escapism over 30 mins I have seen on the telly.
Walking with Jim Muir was interesting as he walked past a couple of places I didn’t know existed but are right on the doorstep. Plus he went to Dungeness, one of my favourite places for some reason.

David o Doherty cycled there in the first ep.
Went to Dungeness for the first time between Xmas and new year last year. Loved it so may do the same again this year.

yep, will enjoy that over Christmas, will make a change from the dark and grisly Scandi stuff I usually watch. Speaking of which, I really like Witch Hunt (All4) which you reccoed, not least because it is extremely tense, but no human being is physically harmed in the narrative, apart from a car crash. Though I am saving the final episode. One problem I had with it is the usual one with Norway or Denmark, the small pool of actors. I'd just finished Home Ground, the brilliant football drama, and no less than three prominent members of the Varg FC squad are also prominent in Witch Hunt. 🤣
Algiers Confidential (SBS) suffered from a poor final episode. Red Election (SBS) is pretty good but somehow disjointed, and a bit derivative of Spooks. I'm starting Furia on SBS, another Norwegian dark politics one. Will report.

If you've not seen any of the others I recommend the Chris Packham one. Really interesting and speaks so openly about his struggles with mental health issues. Also enjoyed the Alastair Campbell one too.

I might re-watch some of the early episodes in Spanish with English subtitles and then with no subtitles as I'm learning Spanish

I believe Sean Clare’s sister is in it.
I liked it but was convinced Buster was Tubes from Soccer AM 😳😂😂😂😂😂

I have spent a good proportion of it thinking why would you not just move out?!
Which I’d also recommend if photography and accessing your images on all devices is of interest to you.
