Joe Pickett on Paramount+
Have seen Season 1 to date, we’ve been hooked for the last week or so, though Mrs AC Marple figured things out well before me.
A guy with haunting childhood memories achieves his dream of becoming a game warden in Wyoming, and a few simple roles of the job turn into huge negative paybacks with corruption at every turn.
Possibly doesn’t get beyond Season 2 as it wasn’t faithful to the books but very entertaining if you enjoy a Western theme.
Bloody good.
Just scrolling through the channels and I see Brick Top (…you need at least 16 pigs to finish the job in one sitting…) is now in Eastenders!
“Do you know what nemesis means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an orrible c**t…Me.”
Snatch is one of my favourite movies. So many memorable lines.
Anyone looking forward to Shardlake on Disney+?
I was until I watched the trailer

Second series of The Responder started tonight. Absolutely superb and Martin Freeman is undoubtedly one of the best actors around. Need dramas like this to remind you how good tv can be. Strangely enough, it was Bernard Hill’s last performance.
The Incredibly Talented Lucy.
I seem to have something in my eye. Again.
Final series of Inside No. 9 started tonight.
It was OK, not one of their strongest.
Just finished watching series 2 of Granite Harbour on BBC iplayer. Don’t think that I would recommend it. Like watching Death in Paradise only set in a less exotic Aberdeen.
1883 on Paramount+ is probably the most sumptuous production I’ve seen on any TV channel in recent years.
The cinematography is immense particularly in later episodes.
We’ve only watched Episode 1 so far. Thought it was ok but hardly gripping. Mrs P thought it was ‘flat’ and some of the acting was a bit plank like.

‘Death in Paradise. Lost’?
Just seen that S2 of Tokyo Vice starts tonight. Very much enjoyed Season 1 so this is an unexpected moment of high expectations!
Saw that as well - not advertised and put on late. I don’t understand as first series was brilliant
Granite Harbour. Wooden acting.
It’s atrocious.

It looked pretty bad on a 30 second promo!
Anybody watching ‘Sugar’ on AppleTV… like it as a formulaic noir but the secret reveal hasn’t added anything so far for me.
Catching up with Bettany Hugh’s " Treasures of the World" series 3.
Really interesting and covering places and stories that have never been on my radar.
“In this third season of Treasures of the World, Bettany visits the Estonian enclave where women rule, experiences extraordinary ancient traditions still practiced by the Muslim Pomaks in Bulgaria and discovers the Amazon warrior graves in Azerbaijan which are redrawing the boundaries between myth and history. Across Albania, Georgia and the Eastern Mediterranean she discovers remote communities, fresh archaeological digs and surprising untold stories.”
On Channel 4
Yes, we are and enjoying it.
Slightly different slant on a detective series, plus like the use of the old B&W clips.
DG…
Can’t disagree. At least it’s over now…
