I first saw Alison Brie in Community, in which she was ace. That's why I watched GLOW, in which she was also ace.
Oh shit, yeah - also on Netflix: Community. Brilliant, chock full of pop culture references, shout outs, parodies and huge dollops of meta. One of my all time favourite shows, and I can't believe it wasn't the first thing I mentioned.
Clarkson's farm was surprisingly good on Prime.
Another adaption of a Margaret Atwood novel (like The Handmaids Tale) but this is just 1 series (6 episodes) and sticks to boundaries of the book. Set in 19th century Canada about an Irish immigrant girl convicted for murder. Having already spent several years of her sentence in asylums and prison, a psychologist tries to figure out if she is guilty, innocent or insane as she recounts her story to him .
I though this was very good and pretty compelling stuff.
I'm starting to get a hunch as to how it's going to end up.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Clarkson's Farm - on Prime. Love or hate the guy (I've always found him to be quite entertaining) the show is really very good and beyond being good entertainment it shines a spotlight on how gruellingly hard word running a farm can be, not that I have any personal experience, and how hit and miss the results can be. Very enjoyable and informative. Glad it's coming back for a second series.
While we're on Clarkson, I also watched the latest instalment of The Grand Tour, Lochdown. Not their best production ever, I have to be honest, but still some funny moments (the "prank" - it has to be staged - Jeremy and Richard played on James May was hilarious) and it's still quite watchable for all that.
The latest series of Virgin River is now out on Netflix and I've already binge watched it with the missis. It's very girly, a bit of a soap opera and overly dramatic for that and very, very twee but it's worth watching just for the gorgeous scenery. This series felt like the writers struggled a bit and it had less substance as a consequence (it's that difficult third album, after all) but looks like they might have used it to set up a better storyline for series four, whenever that happens.
A good faithful I like to return to is Mythbusters which is available on Prime. It's quite old now and I thought I'd seen them all but I'm pleasantly surprised by how many episodes there are which I don't think I have seen. A bit of crazy science is always good and when done by these lunatics it's even better. Oh yeah, and Kari Byron - do I need to say more?
James May's Oh Cook is also on Prime and we've finally got round to watching them all. Yeah, it's pretty good and I've always found James May's presenting style very easy to watch whatever he's doing. I think the story goes that when Amazon got the threesome for the Grand Tour it was on the proviso that they all got their own show as individuals as part of the deal.
Gotta be honest, this feels like a gap filler, as in - I've got my own show, what the hell do I do? Oh, I'll do some cooking! So it's a show made for the sake of making a show and fulfilling a contract obligation but he does make it work and it's quite funny and entertaining.
