I thought it was an entertaining season myself. Not quite as good as the other two in many ways, but worth watching, especially once you got into the second half.

Interesting article:

Yes - that article sums it up well.

What to say of Twin Peaks season 3 episode 8? Here is what The Guardian said and it's true:

Twin Peaks recap: episode eight – the most mind-melting, majestic outing yet

After this bewilderingly brave and groundbreaking hour of television, David Lynch has outdone himself. What an unforgettable journey

 

... what follows is so mind-meltingly brave and groundbreaking that’s it’s arguably the most avant garde piece of mainstream television since the show’s initial run.

For those who have seen the mind-bending pure genius episode 8 of Twin Peaks season 3, here is an interesting fact about the music Lynch used in a certain important scene. For everyone else MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD: link.

Broadchurch - season 3, episode 1

[kh1958]

That was quite an episode. The day when TV series are much better and more creative than films was not one I anticipated.

Broken BBC

Gets my vote for the best serious drama of the year.

Briliiant performance from Sean Bean speaking in his natural Sheffield dialect.

Sad, haunting and ultimately very uplifting.

Gypsy Netflix.

No minced words, a right load of bollocks.

Wrecked, Season 2 (LOST parody)

[kinuta]

Top Of The Lake Season Two

Very good, ignore the negative reviews.

Nicole Kidman is on a roll.

..................00.......................

Now finished and have mixed feelings. Leaving threads hanging and the narrative unresolved  was not satisfactory.

It felt like several scriptwriters had made a contribution and the thing had been botched in the editing.

Game Of Thrones

That was a stunning battle sequence. Can't imagine how they can top that for sheer spectacle.

Yup.  Amazing.  (The show has in general gotten much better along all dimensions over the past few seasons.)

Loved seeing those cave paintings!

Watching X-Files Season 5 on blu-ray. I've never seen this season before. X-Files looks and sounds so good on blu-ray!

Rewatching Jessica Jones.

Finally decided to get Netflix.

Just finished viewing Happy Valley series one.  Some pretty good acting.

Queen Of The South - season 2 (better than season 1)

Renewed for season 3

[jazzbo]

The first four episodes of Swedish Dicks on the POP network. A silly show, but I like it. 

[kinuta]

A pair of interesting documentaries.

BBC This World - A Murder In The Family

BBC Dangerous Borders: A Journey Across India & Pakistan

Yesterday, I watched the partial eclipse for a couple of minutes, then had to go back into a meeting.  Apparently, Buffalo gets a full eclipse in 2024 and Toronto will be 90-95%, so that will be cool.

Finally got around to watching the Luke Cage series on Netflix.  Although not up to the same level as Jessica Jones or Daredevil it's still a rewarding show with some great characters.  What I like best about these Netflix series is that each one has its own distinct vibe.

Burned through all of Season 2 of Last Chance U yesterday. Simply fantastic. Even better than Season 1.

Narcos Season Three

 

S3 is into the Cali cartel and is head and shoulders above the previous two Escobar seasons.

Gripping, compulsive viewing.

BBC Strike   The Cuckoo's Calling Eps 1-3

Pretty good.

Nicely downbeat feel with two well cast, charismatic leads who come across as real people and not the standard cut & paste pretty posers.
