I keep forgetting that because I have Amazon Prime I also have their videos.

Last night after hearing and reading about the second series of The Test, documentary series on the Aus Cricket Team, I started watching series one which starts just when Langer took over.

Watched the first 3 episodes, with 20-20 hindsight the reasons why the players eventually wanted him out stick out like dogs balls.

Got through the first episode of the HBO remake of Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage on the plane last night. Unexpectedly faithful to the original plot structure, decent acting (Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac are the leads), complex enough and brings the concept into late 2010s America in all the ways you’d expect, but something feels a little lacking – like it’s kind of going through the motions. Got another seven-hour flight coming up with a pretty average inflight selection to choose from (I found one French film I was vaguely interested in watching, and it turned out to have been "edited for content"!!!), but not sure if I’ll persevere.

There’s been so many to watch lately,almost all of them on streaming sites.The Last of us on Foxtel/Binge.Two great foreign language shows on Netflix.Women at War and the Snow Girl.And today I started watching this mockumentary on Netflix taking the mickey out of natural history documentaries called Cunk on Earth(yes that’s the title☺️).It’s quite hilarious in parts.Not all the jokes work,but most of them do,and it’s certainly worth a look.

Saw Shantaram TV series on Apple TV. Based on the terrific rollicking novel (an autobiography of sorts) filmed in Melbourne and I think Bombay (it’s set in both)

One of the houses used in Melbourne as though it was in Bombay (Mumbai) is Labassa where my brother lived for over 25 years & where Mrs WPT & I lived in the mid 80’s for a couple of years:

Can’t say it was the best series I’ve seen. Certainly departed from the book.

While trialing Apple TV caught Ted Lasso which we’re still watching. Lovely entertainment. A nice break from the crime shows etc. Although Slow Horses is a ripper.

Just binged the last episodes of Firefly lane that just dropped on Netflix, tissues and Jim Beam, yet the end is strangely satisfying and hopeful!

Take a bow, so we’ll done

Manifest, Lost on steroids, but such a oh so satisfying ending. So good!


Also watched the final series of queen ofthe south, brilliant! Lovedit!

Mayans is about to end I’m guessing, and as with sons of anarchy, it looks to be a lesson, with a bit of hope chucked in there!

Now I need Yellowstone!

Deadloch on Prime

An Australian series created by the two Kates. Refreshing, clever and funny.

Australian, 30 minute episodes, hitman with a heart. Funny, as it is violent, as it is poignant. Absolutely brilliant series (3 seasons) that I can't believe took so long to discover.

A show that will cross the divides between viewing groups, too. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I actually read about that show a while ago. Sounds interesting.
