TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

Watching a Sunday afternoon movie on FTA, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963). So many cameos by Hollywood stalwarts, funny lines that can only be delivered by movie greats, amazing stunts. Good direction. Still a good movie if you are in the right mood.

I looooved that movie!

I looooved that movie!

I first saw it when it was released in 1963 at the cinema in Belgrave St Manly, opposite the tennis courts.

The Day of the Jackal review – Eddie Redmayne’s remake is hold-your-breath exciting

Impressive, chilling and just a little bit silly: this update of Frederick Forsyth’s classic about a ruthless killing machine makes for highly enjoyable, trigger-happy viewing

Joining the chorus of AFFers who thoroughly enjoyed The Lincoln Lawyer - great series!

Now, finally onto watching the latest season of Slow Horses.

I enjoyed Lincoln Lawyer for the first ten or so episodes. But then, maybe it is just me, but the series went from a new and novel and fun thing, to what feels to me to become endless iterations of feeble new twists and turns, repetitive content, or worse still, just upping the violence/death/sex angles etc.

Perhaps it is exactly like that they find a new concept, run it for a season which we all love, then "they" try to milk endless new seasons using the concept but with barely new material?

I haven't felt like that yet for this, but another show that definitely fits that is.... Only Murders in the Building, Blue Bloods, NCIS, The Old Man etc. !

It just dawned on me that if I replace the words "Lincoln Lawyer" with "my life", my post actually makes great sense to me :O

For me it was 2 episodes.
