right up with the very best (iirc) of the Bosch series, not much of the "Legacy" part in this one which was fine by me.
shame it has been canceled, maybe another network will pick it up. hope so, there's a lot still left in the books. and it's a very good cast. didn't actually "end" per se.
I would vote for another series that's for sure. funny that they put a renewal on Seasons 2 and 3 even before the previous season was filmed and then shelved it.
Ah that's the back story then. I'd assumed it would have some kind of big ending as it was final season; but it just didn't Loved watching both Bosch and Legacy

It's still great and holds up very well. I know a lot of people say the second is better but I prefer this one. Also, has this been remastered recently because I don't recall it looking this good?
A great film and miles better than the 2nd one IMO. Arnie was so sinister as the evil Terminator. T2 had him as a good guy Terminator and it was a little bit cheesy as a result.
Also, I got my titles mixed up (result of bingeing), it wasn't Bete Noir, but the one where the actress goes into that film remake (avoiding spoilers here). That's the one I found hard to grasp.
They're inspired by the Twilight Zone, apparently, and you can see it!

I rewatched the first two movies about a month ago and I've said this a few times, but not only do I feel The Terminator is far better than Terminator 2: Judgment Day but T2 is an overblown, meandering act of self-indulgence from James Cameron with a story than makes zero sense.
It's not even close.
I love the Terminator and yes, it is better than T2 but I remember going to the pictures back in the day and at the time it was genuinely amazing with the T-1000 who is still one of the all time great movie villains.
About halfway into season 2 of The White Lotus.
Is it me or did anyone else struggle to care about any of these characters? I barely cared for anyone in season 1, maybe barring Brenda.
Tanya is particularly annoying. Jennifer Coolidge is a likeable actress but she's intolerable here. I don't find her 'kookiness' particular appealing.
The foursome that is Ethan, Harper, Cameron and Daphne are all ****ers.
Having a hard time staying involved, but I am still curious to who the "dead bodies" are as mentioned in the first episode.
Years and Years (2019) Netflix
I had never heard of this when it was first shown on BBC. It was clunky and preachy but ambitious. It is far from perfect and the ending is bonkers. But it was highly watchable and I admire the ambition of it.
The City is Ours on BBC was my 2nd binged show. Romford girl Hannah Onslow is so lovely. It was good but think I preferred a Kin which is quite similar.
Last One Laughing UK. Not very funny. Watched Irish version, even worse. I don't think the format works. Was genuinely cringey seeing some of them try to be funny.
Andor 2- watched the first 3 episodes last night. Superb. Season 1 was excellent, with high production values, great writing etc, but the whole thing seems to have gone up a notch. Each episode felt movie quality. It's so fresh and new, yet still so Star Wars.
Things I NEVER expected to see in SW (minor spoilers!):

not watched this week's episode of Beyond Paradise, but browsing through the UK papers came across this article. super story, and sad in it's own right, considering how Martha's mum just had a cancer scare. wonder if they deliberately put something in the show about it specifically as her real life husband passed away from cancer. anyway you might have read it but thought I would share...
Touching upon the show's success and appeal, Barbara added, "There's no blood, there's a puzzle, and people can be puzzle lovers of any age.
"And so there is this puzzle surrounded by people that we get to know, and I think that it's that combination of the cleverness and of giving people something that has touched their family."
which is a big reason why myself and obviously loads of others watch the show.
Barbara, who is an ambassador for Pancreatic Cancer UK, also opened up about her husband's heartbreaking death ahead of this weekend's London Marathon.
The charity has installed Shoes of Hope along the River Thames, highlighting the devastating impact of pancreatic cancer ahead of the London Marathon and urging the government to invest in early detection research.
In July 2017, six weeks after he was diagnosed, Jeremy died. Speaking about why she wanted to become involved with Pancreatic Cancer UK, the actress stated: "A lot of people who are involved with pancreatic cancer have had a personal experience with this dreaded disease, and that's how I became involved.
"My husband was diagnosed in 2017 very late, and the symptoms are quite asymptomatic. That's the trouble. He always had bad indigestion, but actually, that was how we discovered where he was, and he was very, very far along with the disease.
"This is the main problem that people do not survive, and the research is limited because of that, and in a way, it is a death sentence."
Barbara continued: "You know, people don't necessarily want to spend their remaining time helping, do you know what I mean? It is a difficult situation.
"He [Jeremy] would have, but he only had six weeks, unfortunately, which was very, very cruel. He didn't know an awful lot about the disease because he was a science writer and had made very, very many horizons and was scientifically pretty adept.
"So he did know, and he was a very generous man and, therefore, would have shared everything."
lovely lady and what an awful set of circumstances, and I'm sure for many, many others, but it's wonderful she can talk about how important it is to publicize the illness in any way possible...
Loved watching both Bosch and Legacy
