Series 3 of Tulsa King https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16358384/e ... t_eps_sn_3
Old school gangsta fun, OK Stallone may be getting beyond his prime but he does it well enough, looking forward to the spin off Nola King with Samuel Jackson
Series 3 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12327578/e ... t_eps_sn_3
Some episodes miss the mark but it keeps the Star Trek world still ticking, decent sci-fi
Lioness https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13111078/?ref_=fn_t_1
Got slated in the reviews but it's OKish, just giving it a try as it's a Taylor Sheridan creation.

Jay Kelly. George Clooney playing an actor who gets introspective as his world sort of implodes. Touted as Clooneys finest performance. It wans't. Can't say I didn't like it, and in some ways I enjoyed it, but won't be urging anyone to watch it?

I've just watched Violent Night. If you want a Christmas film with humour and violence then this is hard to beat.

Nuremberg, very good and compelling watching.
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"

Peacemaker DC superhero show staring John Cena, continuing from the Suicide Squad movie. Good fun, lots of violence and swearing with occasional nudity.
White Lotus series 1 & 2 Rich people on holiday. Very good. Series 2 starts off slower than series 1 but ends much stronger.
Plur1bus Well made and acted but I'm finding it very slow.

Re: Box Sets, Mini series, films, etc.
Watched 3 absolute belters last 3 nights.
Catch Me If You Can.
The Accountant.
Seen them both before, but one of the benefits of getting older is that I couldn't remember a single thing about them
Last night watched After The Sunset. Clever and brilliant

Just finished Pluribus. Really enjoyed it. Kind of slow, but it builds. Alien virus, dystopian weirdness, Vince Gilligan's mind, what's not to like?

It Came From Outer Space! Gotta love a 1950s American B movie!
