I didn't know Sansom had taken a break from writing. I bought the first four (or maybe five) books, all in different-looking and different-sized paperbacks (there was never any consistency!) and then I sort of lost track... the titles are quite confusing, I can never remember which is which, so I didn't buy the later ones in case I had them already! I also read his Spanish civil war book Winter in Madrid, but I don't think I've read Dominion.
Still not saving private ryan of course but watchable.
Cast of decent actors but the story is absolute risible nonsense.
2/10
A tough watch, but weird accents and a young/old actor choice which beggars belief spoil things somewhat. Otherwise it portrays the horror, cruelty, inhumanity, barbarity, scale etc quite emphatically.
2 episodes in. Other half says the book is brilliant.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
Six episode French thriller set in Iraq, following a team of special forces on the hunt for a terrorist cell planning an attack on French soil. Not normally my cup of tea, but this was pretty good. Wasn't a macho, gung-ho type of army thriller. Had a quite a large focus on the more human elements of modern warfare - the mental health struggles of troops away in warzones, the moral ambiguities of the situations, addictions to prescription medications in the barracks etc.
7.5/10
Fiasco on Netflix.
French farce about a first time film director/writer and the disastrous attempts to get his movie made. Quite a big-budget show with cameos from the likes of Vincent Cassel. Silly, quite juvenile, but very funny! especially the two central performances from Pierre Niney and Francois Civil. Good 'leave your brain at the door' entertainment.

Isn't hell from vicking folklore?
People talk about "control", but don't we all want some control? Is it not better than chaos? Think I'd rather be part of a Christian based society than a Celt based society.
Society needs laws, trouble is power can be abused.
Not really sure yet, quite funny but not a comedy.
