Six Wives with Lucy Worsley - 2018
IMdB rating 8,1
My rating is 8,5 so far (only seen ep 1 so far)

Another interesting docu. Like the other one part acted.
About the wives of king Henry VIII.

The rockie

I've started S02 of A Remarkable Place to Die it's getting a wee bit more in-depth and although every episode is 'self contained' there is a lot of ongoing drama going on with the characters.. which is giving it a nice flow..

The White Queen
Focusing on the last of the War of the Roses.

Me's thinking that life for women was so incredibly hard in those days. You just never had real safety, not even as queen consort.

And even as queen consort having to except that your husband would sleep with loads of other women, or if he wished had a favourite mistress for years on end.
We have men watching porn these days, a somewhat milder version of that, but equally disastrous to a relationship.
You were prolly better of as a poor woman, wife of a peasant or something.

In any case a really good series. Drama & intrigue was part of that history.

IMdB rating 7,7
My rating a 10 for sure

More Football

Sir.. isn't Monday nights for football?? has it taken over Tuesdays too??





started Harlan Coben's Fool Me Once 2016 mini series.. egads.. I'm hooked

The White Princess - 2017
IMdB rating 7,5
My rating 10

I sometimes re-watch the entire UK history/Tudor sequence because I just love it :D
Next will be "The Spanish Princess". Maybe I will also rewatch the entire "The Tudors" series after that. I probably will

all done.. keeps you in the dark until almost the very last.. he's a decent mystery writer and storyteller..
IMDb gives it a 6.8.. I give it a solid 8..

just in time.. finished Sheriff Country S01 last night.. S02 supposed to start dropping tomorrow..

it was good.. not something I'd re-watch but interesting enough for a once around..

Max Thieriot created this series along with Fire Country which he stars in as Bode.. you might know him from SEAL Team.. anywho, he teamed up with Jerry Bruckheimer for both series..

lioness, Marshals. Dutton ranch.

although I have Lioness's latest season, haven't yet started watching it.. Marshalls S02 just started dropping as well.. I'm not so much into Dutton Ranch tho..

OT: Started watching Neagley S01 it's not bad.. Reacher is in the first episode which is a cool way to start.. but haven't gotten too far into the season enough to form a proper opinion yet..

binge watched all 6 episodes of Dustfall 2026 miniseries starring Anna Torv and Jay Ryan

Detective Tig returns to her coastal hometown and uncovers drink-spiking assaults, pushing her into a dangerous investigation where hidden predators and broken systems threaten the truth.

it's an australian series that although held it's cards close to it's chest, wasn't quite as good as holding it's secrets of "who donnit" to the very end.. sadly I figured out who the culprits were all too quickly.. there were so many tells..

anywho.. IMDb gave this a 7.7.. I concur with the assessment

just finished binge watching The Diplomat S04 great show.. all 8 episodes dropped Thursday and I finished them yesterday.. the ending was mind blowing.. but a great show if you like political dramas..

IMDb gives it an 8/10.. I lean more to 9.5-10 on this one..

finished watching A Remarkable Place to Die S02 last night.. wow.. was kind of hoping for a different outcome/ending but we'll see if there's a S03 that'll change things..

anywho.. enjoyed the 2nd season.. definitely hoping for a 3rd... IMDb gives it a 7/10.. I'd give this a tad higher with an easy 8.5

I've watched 2 more episodes.. it's weird tho.. the storyline is hard to follow as it seems to not really have a general direction.. this ones proving to be quite difficult to hold my interest

okay so.. I finally forced myself to watch the rest of this series.. they pretty much took the entire season to set up the series.. DC isn't the franchise that has had the most success in recent years with TV shows.. but to waste 7 full episodes (and almost 7 full hours) on setting up the series and 1 episode (being # 8) seems off-putting at best, IMO.. plus I'm not a huge fan of "back'n forth" storylines.. but those fans of DC have gobbled this one up so who knows where or IF this is going..

A Remarkable Place to Die
IMdB rating 7
My rating 8. Would've rated it higher if it didn't go down the drain at the end of season 2.

Like many series, it shifts from a good into way too much drama.
Considering how often this happens with a series I guesstimate most people like that, I however don't. Not in real life, not in relationship, and not in a series. I despise drama.

It's doable at first, just from approx. the last half of season 2 until the end it gets worse and worse, almost unbearable.

The series is worth watching though. But I doubt I will watch the 3rd season, ifever there will be one.

Alone - reality show - 2015
IMDb rating 8,4
My rating 10 (for season 1)

10 people are dropped at Vancouver Island for a last man standing survival stint.
It takes as long as it takes for 1 to win.
They can choose 10 items to take with them. Apart from that they do get bear spray, flares, a life-vest.
Location is different per season.

What they had to endure was insane to be honest. Thousands of bears and hundreds of cougars on Vancouver Island.
And they didn't choose a great season as they had more days with heavy rain than without, bad storms, frost and whatnot.

What surprised me that making fire turned out the biggest problem for all 10 at first?
They're all trained survival experts, but then how can they fail in making fire? In the end they all get it sorted.
Then food becomes a real big issue. Certainly after a few weeks without carbs & sugars. Which I didn't understand either as even in wintertime you can find these on Vancouver Island. Certain roots and berries can still be found and provide these much needed nutrients. Yet none knew??

It was certainly interesting.
It reminded me of my time in Australia even though I didn't have to live of the land there. But many of the things these people went through I did go through as well, and I was only 20. It changed me for life.

As such I could understand that this would also change the participants.
I checked if the winner and his wife were still together. And nope, as I suspected they split after he'd won and come back.
Not a surprise as he wouldn't be the same man anymore that left, nor would he ever be again.
One guy bailed out as the experience had brought him all he wanted out of it. And he was the one who dealt the best with it all. He built a canoe, a string instrument (!!!) and a beautiful yurt for a shelter. And he truly knew how to live with and of the land.

Seriously amazing to watch a season of this show. I doubt I will watch all seasons, there are loads of it.
But watching 1 or 2... nice!

watched Winter S01 with Richard Armitage

Ethan Winter, an analytical detective, partners with driven DI Lauren Bell. His deductive genius aids her murder squad, but he's haunted by an unsolved murder of someone close to him.

the descriptions says he's an analytical detective when he's actually more a Forensic Medical Examiner.. with a similar style of talking to the "patient" like the lead detective "Mike Shepherd" (Neill Rae) in The Brokenwood Mysteries (AU) and David McCullum's Medical Examiner "Ducky" in NCIS (USA)

pretty good show.. thoroughly enjoyed the first season.. although a lil "odd" at times, I do hope it's picked up for a 2nd

IMDb gives it a 6.6
I give it a solid 9

I've been watching a lot of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch of late.
I'd heard of it before but had no idea what it was so I decided to watch it to find out.
Reality - 2020 - present, 7 seasons so far.
IMDb rating 6,5
Mine is the same

At first it is okay but if you binge watch all seasons & episodes it starts to wear thin real fast.
Much of what they do is what they've already done a number of times before.

In the beginning much revolves around homestead 2 as that always had a lot of activity and other various strange things, for instance with cattle.
But later on everything seems to focus on the triangle with very strange stuff happening. Not just a few episodes, but everything then is about investigating that triangle.
And okay, they find peculiar things, but then it's all the same so it becomes boring real fast.

I'm quite certain they'll never find anything substantial. The previous owner worked together with government organisation on the property. Their findings are classified. Not even the senator of Utah or other high up people get clarity on it.
Who knows what they found there, or what they themselves did there?!
If those organisations knew it'd be possible for others to find out stuff they'd not have allowed the ranch to be sold off.
Meaning no one will ever find anything there bar for vague chit.
