Decent Recent TV

The Boroughs not quite Stranger Things in a retirement village as has been advertised but with an excellent cast, good music and a story that mostly doesn't go too far off the rails it's solid entertainment.

Only very tangentially related but also starring some venerable acting talent A man on the inside is a lot of fun* now finished season 2. Ted Danson as an amateur PI driving his professional boss around the bend and gives a lot of laughs.

*deals with dementia in parts which hits very hard if you've had a loved one go that way.

The Boys season 5 ended on a damp squib

Other than some absurdist violence, it just felt formulaic, and more of a traditional superhero show. Soldier Boy was wasted and may as well have not been there other than some quippy lines.

Yeah, im struggling to finish the last few episodes - its just a bit dull -> invent some new problem -> Butcher/MM know a supe who has the answer -> find them and have interaction with them and Homelander -> repeat…

Spider Noir something a little different than the usual MCU fair, dangerous dames, gangsterous villains, corrupted bosses and everyone chewing on the scenery. Oh wait...

Anyway I found it good fun, Cage just about pulls off acting twenty years younger (they really need to invest in CGI de-aging hands now) and Gleeson is a great Mr Big.

A couple of interesting music stings are very reminiscent of Spider verse (Can't believe we're still waiting for the third movie).

The Mother Of All Cons

Stumbled into this last week. It’s intentionally drawn out - they could definitely have told the story in less than three episodes, so it can be slow, but it’s a pretty jaw-dropping story.

Mr Inbetween always looked good on Social Media clips but never had the channel.

Recently got Disney + through Sky so gave it a go.

Only 2 episodes in but really good. Ray’s the definition of quiet menace

Finished the 3rd series on Sunday - it really is a very good series - hilarious and brutal and poignant.

I thought the ending was perfect - left it open to let you decide how it finishes. There'll be no more so it's a great and fitting ending
