Thank you, Jaan! Will do :)
OT - Slow Horses -2022 - 7,9 IMDB rating UK series With Gary Oldman 2 seasons and 3rd & 4th have been confirmed. REALLY good! Department of MI5 that's run by the so called losers from MI5. Yet, they do a good job and their slouchy boss is a real good agent. I'm hooked, can't wait for the next season! |

The Capture - 2020 - 7,9 IMDB rating
British series, 2 seasons About a new system used by government (security) called "correction" that's based on abusing & manipulating images & footage from CCTV to get things done that suit government/certain parties. Quite scary to think this is possible and likely happening and the fact that CCTV is everywhere. I feel season 1 & 2 should/could be rated separately. Season 1 is okay at first but quickly becomes very long-winded and too much drama. I felt it increasingly difficult to finish and grew quite fed up with it. Then I decided to watch season 2 regardless, and boy am I glad I did! It is AWESOME in capitals! If you've given this one a try and decided it wasn't for you, see season 1 through, bear and grin with it, so you can watch the 2nd one. It helps to know the basics before you start that, not sure if it'd make a lot of sense as stand-alone. Holy cow, was it good! Whoever wrote that did an excellent job. In that sense I'd rate season 1 with a meagre 5-6, only because it lays the foundation for season 2. Season 2 I rate a solid 10+. |

Ragnarok - Norwegian Netflix series - 7,4 IMDB rating
3 seasons When I first came across it I feared it was another Marvel BS series, but this one is really good! A small Norwegian town experiencing warm winters and violent downpours seems to be headed for another Ragnarok -- unless somebody intervenes in time. |

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - 2023 - 6,7 IMDB rating
Enjoyed it tremendously! I'd rate it much higher, a 9 or 10. 2,5 hours of really good entertainment. |

I had noticed this yesterday on Netflix. Was wishy-washy. Chose Virgin River and Jack.

Wire in the Blood -2002 - 6 seasons - 8,3 IMDB rating
British drama - crime - mystery series. I love it! Don't understand how it never came up when I searched for British crime series. Maybe it did and I didn't check it out. It's great. Very unusual. My rating would be a 10 :) With Robson Green. What a brilliant actor he is! I first saw him in Strike Back, and he was totally masculine & a leader then, next I saw him as police officer in Grantchester, set in the '50s. Also brilliantly done. Now as a somewhat weird & aloof and vulnerable psychologist. Entirely different and yet he manages to truly 'be' them all. In any case, great series, very much worth the watch! |

Season 8 of Shetland.
It's a bit weird still without Douglas Henshall being the lead but somehow they seem to be pulling it off. |

REALLY good! No news on a 2nd season yet. In a way this was a stand-alone story. |

Yup, me has started watching Reacher season 2 last night as well, right after the last episode of the other series I mentioned.
I was quite shocked to see the actor playing Reacher. Not sure what he'd done in between seasons, maybe began testosterone as he did that at some point to get more muscles. But he looks god awful, unnatural, off-putting, whereas in season 1 he looked tall, big, strong and attractive. Even his face looks kinda distorted. I liked him better in that sense in season 1. Just look at the width of his shoulders... too much of a good thing is truly too much, hihi. It looks as if some plastic surgeon sewed on extra bones & padding, just really weird. |

Not action or anything, a docu series, but so worth watching that I wish to mention it here:
Ancient Apocalypse - Season 1 8 episodes - 7,8 IMDB rating I rate it 10, would give more if I could. In short it's about Graham Hancock travelling to many places around the world (US Turkey, Indonesia, Bimini, Mexico etc.) to find proof of a great flood, the consequences of it and so on. In a way all leading back to there once having been a very advanced civilisation that disappeared and/or spread across the world because of that apocalyptic happening. Many of the ancient cultures he investigates left signs of a comet, or rather debris of a comet hitting the Earth, causing that event. It also has to do with the ending of the ice age, which is when all this happened. That was around 10.800 years ago. It's so incredibly interesting! If you're into this you watching this docu is a must! I'd never heard of Serpent Mound in Ohio btw. What an amazing place! Unfortunately he wasn't allowed to go there to film as the organisation rules Graham Hancock's docu's and wisdom 'hogwash'. Arrogant w@nkers... But seeing it from the sky... amazing!! |

I agree 100% with Reacher looking worn. Didnt Neagley say as much in the beginning? That he looked rough? Either way, he is pretty to look at but holy mac and cheese. Enough already with the bulking up! It is overkill. One question tho. Did anyone else notice that a 6'5 muscle bound man easily finds clothes at a thrift shop or clothing bin?? <blinkblink> TheKid is 6'8 and rarely scores clothing finds such as that. <laughing> |

They did indeed mention him looking rough, but he's beginning to look like a Neanderthal, that typical look of someone using steroids to get muscles. I prefer natural muscle. My Taekwondo teacher told me that bodybuilder muscle gets in the way of being swift and doing certain moves. I could tell as a dad from 1 of the kids occasionally joint in and he was a bodybuilder. You become more of a blunt object as opposed to a swift and elegant fighter, so in that sense not entirely congruent with the Reacher character. The 2nd hand clothes is indeed weird. Only once did they address that, when he was in NY and needed a suit on the spot. Then there happened to be one that was made for a rugby player. Even here where people are taller it wouldn't be easy to find something to fit a 1,98m tall bloke. I guess it's 'artistic freedom' by the author to create the image of a certain type of man. |
