What's on TV?

I got time to finally watch The Strain this past week (only five years after it ended, not bad for me). First couple seasons were good, third was decent, fourth left me dissatisfied. Not a horrible way to kill roughly 35 hours. David Bradley (likely better known as Walder Frey from Game of Thrones, or Argus Filch for those Harry Potter viewers) did not disappoint with his performance.

 Plowed through all eight "series"* of Strikeback again - it's become my go-to thing for background noise lately... Packs in huge amounts of gratuitous violence interrupted by occasional gratuitous sex and a surprising amount of humanity and depth from the characters.

 

* A co-production of Cinemax and Sky Tv, it follows the British tv format of each "season" being a 10-episode story arc. Which works perfectly for a show about a covert British military-intelligence anti-terrorist team...

Finally started watching Rings of Power, today. I would have watched all 3 episodes, but I had to get to the USPO before they closed, ha ha. Normally I don't binge watch shows, but I really liked what I saw. It puts me into the mood to run a D&D game. Hopefully my players enjoy the game tomorrow night!

Aggretsuko Season 5 is out on Netflix now.  Was definitely worth the watch, even though the first two episodes were incredibly hard for me to watch as they hit home with some things waaaay too closely for me.  On the flipside though, it was probably my favourite.

Best in Miniature on CBC sunday nights. Probably also streaming on CBC Gem. I'm not sure if it's a British show, as there are alot of people with British accents. The contestants are working on dollhouses. I only watched the second episode on sunday, and they had to make and furnish their family rooms. Anyone who is remotely into building terrain will enjoy this show. Interestingly, there are a lot of men who build dollhouses. These people are a lot more talented than I am, but I'd love to be on a future season.

We watched a 1970s Western miniseries the other night, "The Sacketts" based on 2 Louis Lamour novels, great series. Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot, Ben Johnson and Glen Ford. Lady C had never seen it and it had been many years since I had. A really good movie.

I think that's the American version, it depends on whether they're working on their own dollhouses (US) or are working to two team built ones (British).

I've watched both and found them so fascinating, but I'm somewhat obsessed with these crafting type shows.

We watched an episode of Velma, hoping that the negative feedback was overblown.

 

It really wasn't.

 

How could they have screwed up such a simple concept so thoroughly?

 

The Auld Grump - Velma was my favorite character on Scooby Doo.
