Yeah, Simon Baker plays the father real well. Bryan Brown is Bryan Brown, always worth watching.
Just watched Series 2 of Kin..... how times have changed in the world of television.... every second word starts with an F or a C..... and I ain't talking about Footy Club!
Anyway, coming from a long list of Irish convicts.... I love it. Can't wait for series 3.

Been watching True Detective - Night Country S04 with Jodie Foster and the excellent Kali Reis. TD has been disappointing since the amazing first season for most and many don't like the new series either as being too woke, confusing and with some seemingly supernatural elements with vibes of The Thing, The Terror, Twin Peaks so I get the confusing criticism.
Apparently this was conceived separate to the TD franchise but the studio asked the showrunner to cram it into the TD format - it kind of fits but also doesn't.
Despite all this a great cast, family/personal drama, excellent sets, some good jump scares and spooky vibes make it entertaining if you don't inspect the plot too closely.

First season was great and then it dropped a bit. 3 I thought was pretty good I’m persisting with season 4. It’s pretty intense and weird supernatural stuff going on but is well acted.
Gee Robodebt, if they ever made a series about that I don't think my TV would survive. I'm sure some sort of missile would be thrown at it.
Nice poignant finish to Reservation Dogs , will miss these characters..
Started Mr Robot , ok so far.. Though i think i may have seen a end of s1 spoiler years ago , hopefully not and i am surprised..

Mr robot is the most intense series I’ve ever watched. It’s relentless. Think four episodes left in the final season.
Watching 3 Body Problem. Problem is- it’s written for kids. Good idea for a show - wasted.
Why do you say its written for kids? Its fairly high concept sci fi. I've read the book and its simplified from that but it had to be. I think its actually a pretty good example of adaptation in the way the actions of the main character of the book is split amongst multiple characters in the show to enable more interpersonal interaction. The book is very dry as far as characerisation is concerned.
In China TenCent (media company) did a 30 episode version which some people love. I started to watch but it was too slow with too many tired visual tropes and cliched conversations... But it's much more faithful to the books and of course the totally Chinese setting. Has some hilariously bad acting from Western cast members as generals and so forth. One old Aussie bloke is particularly funny, must have found him in an expat bar in Macau or something.
If like me you cant stomach 30 episodes there is a fan supercut with three 2 hour episodes here, free download.

Yeah. I made that comment after the third ep and I was frustrated and annoyed by the whole video game thingy and the sky winking and a couple of the cast seemed unconvincing. But now I’ve finished the thing I take it back. Later eps were seriously good on many levels. Really went too soon on that previous call.
Have heard there is another version of this show on YouTube. I’ll try and find the link.
