Re: What are you watching at the moment

Finally got into watching The Bear. Think it's brilliant. I get how an actual Chef would go 'as if', premise aside, the writing/dialogue is bang on. Love shows that can use silent pauses and then frantic dialogue with different characters. Just really feels organic. Stressed people being organic.

The netflix One Piece adaptation is pretty good.

I've been watching my first Gundam, The Witch from Mercury. It's independent from any other Gundam so it's easy to jump in without having to know about any other series and it's really good. Takes a little while to ramp up but I'm at a point now where I feel like I 'get' Gundam.

I really enjoyed Witch from Mercury, and it was also my first Gundam (at age 42) but it's funny how much it's reincorporated from Neon Genesis Evangelion, which was a far better series and itself a bit of a parody of original Gundam.

Obligatory 'watch Neon Genesis Evangelion' plug here - it's on Netflix.

+1 vote for the Bear being amazing.

Watched series 1 of Crime on SBS demand. Story line was good, but a bit too much about the head detectives mental health.

First 3 episodes were quite good, I thought it then became an implausible mess.

Agree, and by then I was sucked in to see the outcome.

I have started watching series 2 when Ray comes back to work.

Where is series 2? Mind you, I was so annoyed with how series 1 panned out, I’d need to know it’s improved A LOT

Dwayne Russell gave it a positive review as well.

I found it on ITVX, a British app, but you will need Geoblocking remover or VPN to watch it. I watch through my AppleTV, but there are other devices that you could watch it through.

Ha I just finished an ep and got into the car to listen to his review.

Some serious nostalgic feels experienced when watching the Bekham series on Netflix.

The parallels between his treatment and the treatment of the Australian cricket team are difficult to ignore. When the British public is feeling at its pathetic worst they can turn really nasty.

Enjoying 'The Newsreader' on ABC. Australian drama at its best.

Watching 'Archer' series 2 at the moment. Have watched a lot of the series over recent years and love the humour. And Lana.


Also 'Hunderby' on dvd (remember them?). For anyone familiar with the work of Julia Davis (Human Remains, Nighty Night, Camping) over the years, she writes, directs and appears in it. Dark British humour.
