The next season of Welcome to Wrexham is writing itself, what an absolutely incredible season they are having.
Anyone else always look out for their scores, following season 1?!
Absolutely. Cracking series. Really see how actually invested Rob and Ryan are as well as the while town.Anyone else always look out for their scores, following season 1?!
What a result yesterday too.
Just finished The Dropout about the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos company she started. Starts quite sympathetic to her and the initial things she did wrong, her partner in crime / boyfriend Sunny doesn't get any sympathetic treatment... It's a dramatisation with Amanda Seyfried in the lead role, William Macy (and his massive forehead) as a guy trying to bring her down and an awful Stephen Fry as a British chemist working for the company.
Engrossing and riveting, we binged in a few nights.

A Small Light
I initially thought it was going to be a documentary (as on Nat Geographic section of Disney+). But was actually a drama type thing.
Anyway, very good I thought. Mainly focussed on Miep Gies (lady who helped hide Otto Franks family and some others). Kind of hard watching at times as you know the outcome but worth a watch.

American Born Chinese
4 episodes in so far.
I'd describe it as Saved by the Bell crossed with 70's classic Monkey.
A Chinese high schooler called Jin is trying to fit in at school, when he's lumped with new Chinese student who so happens to have ran away from heaven with his dad the Monkey Kings magical staff.
Monkey King jr believes Jin can guide him to the mythical magic 4th scroll, Jin just doesn't know it yet.
Seems ok so far and reunites half the cast from that Everything Everywhere at Once film, however it is geared more towards teens.
5.5/10 so far.

We watch Star for old USA series more than the new stuff... Can't beat some decent xfiles...
Amazes me how much exterior and location shooting went into that series right from the off.
When you start to really look at how cheap TV is made these days. We watched Columbo the other day, the older series and they had scenes full of extras in an exterior park location just to have Columbo eat at a hot dog stand and chat to the server..... Today that would be interior back lot cafe with one of those fake empty takeaway coffee mugs and generic lighting and the person serving would probably have no lines to save on money
Edit. Maybe cheap isn't the word, maybe lazy?

My wife have recently started X-Files (new for me, not for her), halfway through Season 2 currently and really enjoying it. I have seen some of them before, but not many, when it came out I was more interested in clubbing and girls! Not completely bingeing it, as we have other things we're also watching too at the moment, but slowly getting through it.Amazes me how much exterior and location shooting went into that series right from the off.

We've also binged all of NCIS, Criminal Minds and The Americans (2nd run through of that one for us, it's brilliant).
