Where have you been? My advice, start from scratch. I haven't watched the newer, Chief Detective Barnaby's replacement. For me, John Nettles is almost irreplaceable.

It was one of those progs that got hyped, and put me right off.

Anyone else a big fan?

I've never watched it. Maybe the name just didn't attract me.

Still making our way through iZombie and Trailer Park Boys.

iZombie... hm, some of the last few episodes made zero sense for two of the characters lol

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler Alert!}Basically, two of them pretty much got back together... and still seemed to plan on being together even though one was a zombie and the other wasn't... Then all of a sudden the guy is letting one of his friends date his former fiance? WTF??? lol I can't wait for that story line to end.

I find period dramas about strong women really fascinating. Dangerous Liaisons was one of my favourite films and I am looking forward to the series.

They are playing back to back "Midsomer Murders" on TV today. I've seen them so often I could almost be the prompter for lines

I do like them though.

I have never seen them..

Simple brain bleach stories easy to watch easy to forget no massive substance.. but they pass the time of day in a non obnoxious fashion.

After the stresses of the day with my, often very, complex investigations, I just cannot cope with modern dramas. A gentle read or easy going TV is good.

If you don't like a TV show or series, don't mince words, just say so.

Anyway, has anybody weighed in on the NETFLIX series "Wednesday"? For me, it was a bit "teenagerish" and a cliche'. That is, those who looked harmless you knew would turn out to be evil and the reverse.

The guy who makes this stuff has a following I suspect, leave it to them.

I've only seen the first episode, then been busy with Christmas shows mainly. And Star Trek on Thursdays. (Paramount made 2022 a year of new Star Trek almost every Thursday, so it became a habit. Now it's Trek Thursday for me, and I even wear Trek earrings that day. Could use another pair, actually... Hee hee.)

In a departure from the 'traditional' Christmas films we watched the new offering Violent night...

Its nothing original in fact it blatently streals whole scenes and bits of the storyline from several other film but it was a hoot none the less..

More bloody than die hard, more swearing than bad santa and a slightly cuter child star than in Home Alone it was funny naughty a bit predictable but good fun...
