What are you watching???

Got me a region-free Blu-ray player, so I got British disks of Dempsey and Makepeace, and Dutch DVDs of Blake's Seven!

Just finished Punisher on Netflix, and I'm rewatching The Defenders with the wife - since she watched Luke Cage, JJ, and Daredevil, I think she needed to see the continuation of their stories, even if the series was kinda meh.

Continuing our DVD watch of Joan of Arcadia and still marvelling at Amber Tamblin's brilliant talent. I'm still angry that Edie Falco won the emmy for standing in the Soprano's kitchen and brooding during those two years. Amber deserved the award, IMHO, hands down.

Also watching Martial Law on DVD, but losing interest. The show started off pretty wonderful and funny, but early in the first season they ditched the interesting female cop and hired Arsenio Hall, who is dull dull dull, and tried to have more sentimental and meaningful stories instead of just plain fun. But Kelly Hu :adore: is still in it, and I'll go thru a lot to watch her, even tho she's criminally underused in the show.

I think I lost track of Martial Law after the first series when it was aired here. As for Blake's Seven, I know it's been out here for ages, but it looks like they're releasing it as a complete box set in the UK next week (possibly again)

As for myself, X-Files catchup now, then Flash and Legends.

Of course! Right after I finally get around to buying it, and the only thing I could find was a Dutch release. Oh well, the episodes are the episodes, as long as the Dutch subtitles are off. And the only funky thing about the menu is the "Speel alles" button. :lol:
 
I just binged the entire second season of The Good Place.

Riverdale. Probably catch up with a couple of The Gates, BBT and Young Sheldon.
I'll record Brooklyn Nine Nine for tomorrow.
 
Just back from seeing Tomb Raider. Overall, I enjoyed it though there are some plot holes.
It takes a fair bit of the 2013 reboot and little tit-bits from Rise, but there are also quite a few differences. Most of the characters from the 13 game are missing, so the bits that relate to them are changed.

Next, it's Bull and probably Arrow catch up.
 
I find it funny just for the Transformer characters and for Anthony Hopkins hamming it up
I'm just joking, I haven't seen it. I gave up on Transformers movies after the second one.

I'm watching last Sunday's Top Gear. After that, I'm thinking a movie. Haven't decided what yet though, I'm open to suggestions.

I watched Atomic Blonde last night, thoroughly enjoyed that.
 
Steve Jobs, streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

Starring Michael Fassbender, this is the better of the two films produced about the Apple co-founder after his death, and not to be confused with 2013's Jobs, which featured Ashton Kutcher in the title role.

Centered around the minutes preceeding three major product launch events (the original Macintosh in 1984, the NeXT cube in 1988, and the iMac in 1998), the scenes and pacing have a very West Wing feel to them, owing to Aaron Sorkin's screenplay and involvement. Kate Winslet turns in some of her best work here as Apple and NeXT marketing exec Joanna Hoffman, and Seth Rogen gives a solid performance as Steve Wozniak.

Guru, BS artist, visionary, asshole.. the real Jobs was all of these things, a complicated but fascinating person, loved and hated by so many. I suppose that it is appropriate that I am writing these very words that you are reading right now .. of course .. on my iPhone.
