Just finished the 2nd series of Manhunt. Not seen the first series yet but thought it was excellent and Martin Clunes was brilliant. Crazy how long he evaded capture and the missed opportunity.
Started this a couple of nights ago and now on episode 6. Some slow moments early on (episode 2) but it's brilliant.
The popularity of it is crazy, apparently the main female actress had 400k instagram followers a couple of weeks ago before its release on Netflix, now she has almost 15 million.
I still have 2/3 episodes left of the Squid game, however i dont want to finish it so in between i started and binged 9 perfect strangers (Amazonprime) , recommended, its a bit deep in spots but really good cast (Melissa Mccarthy in particular), the last episode did hit the nerves and had a tear in the eye.
Watched the first episode of Squid Game last night... Great start and looking forward to watching a couple more episodes tonight.
Also just watched the two seasons of the Boys over the last week on Amazon Prime - Have been tempted for a good while to watch it, but its one of those that I've just kept putting off - Was worth the wait and already looking forward to the release of Season Three
I like to approach my tv watching like an investment portfolio with a balanced basket of light to heavy programmes on the go at the same time.
The most recent basket has seen the low risk, easy viewing option taken by Ballers. The long-term, serious investment in Gomorrah, and the fillers in the middle being Vigil and Clickbait.
Have enjoyed them all, been laid up last few days so have rapidly sped up my progress. have 1 episode of Series 4 left of Gomorrah that I’ve saved for tonight. Going to miss it, though think the first two series were the best.
Running out of multi-series crime dramas to get my teeth into. Since Covid kicked in I’ve done The Wire, Gomorrah, Narcos, Narcos Mexico, Ozark, Top Boy and loved them all. Having only seen S1 of BreakingBad, that’s my main outliner and will be my Gomorrah replacement. Billions I think will be my middle runner and Little Rock or Cobra Kai my Ballers replacement
After Breaking Bad, you have Better Call Saul which is arguably even better (though it's very slow at the beginning). I like Fargo a lot although each season is different and the quality is uneven.

If you are going to watch Billions this is a very good synopsis as you need to understand the jargon surrounding investment.

Looks right up my street so far.
