It's slick, well written, has high production values and interesting characters but I'm slightly losing interest to be honest. Every episode feels identical. Creepy, hammy Mark Warren, mad women, the raven king. GET. ON. WITH. IT! And I do wish people would stop saying "English" magic.

Having just finished the book, I can tell you that "things" are going to start happening. An important theme of the book is that the English (like most countries) think that only they are civilized so that only English magic, which serves England, is important, so that is why they keep saying it. Plus, this takes place during the Napoleonic Wars and any time a country is at war, nationalism, naturally, is at fever-pitch.

Mark Warren's character-known in the book only as The Man with the Thistle-Down Hair or The Man in the Green Coat--gets much, MUCH scarier later on--at least in the book. I find it interesting to see how this ginormous book gets condensed down in the series.

So far, I think Stephen Black's character has been skimped on. I think they could've thrown in a few lines to help explain him a bit more, since he is a very important character in the story.

But I will keep watching. I just finished the book this weekend, so it's exciting to see the show immediately afterwards.

Then he really ought to be saying British magic. My issue is more the fact that it gets said (mostly by Mr Norrell) about twelve times per episode (oh and we are the most civilised).

Just finished The Blacklist Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot". It was awesome. Starting Season 1 Episode 2 "The Freelancer" right now.

Mr.Norrell doesn't consider Scotland or Wales worth mentioning and the magic they do there is either unworthy or dangerous (the Raven King's terriorty). It's in the book, somewhere. It's a wonderful book, if you have time to read nearly 800 pages.

[Starbreaker]

Watching the first episode of the Winds of War miniseries since I'm pretty far into the book. The voiceovers are silly, but it's not bad.

Saw Inside Out today. Pretty entertaining.

The spoils of Babylon

Hmm, so this is painfully awful despite the impressive cast. Feels like an attempt to do a Garth Marenghi type show but it's just tedious. I think a Darkplace rewatch is in order.

Finally got around to watching the Blu Ray version of Forbidden Planet
