    It wouldn't be hard in fairness. There's too many threads to this one though still, and it's cheap as fuck.

    It was a cracker. It really set up a great season too. I didn't see it all going that way, it's the best season from what I've watched so far.

    I've started season four now and I'm getting a bit confused with how old everyone should be. Because they don't physically age anybody. But best I can tell Uhtred must be about 40 or something now? I also feel like this means Father Beocca should now be about 80, at least. But he looks and acts absolutely no different to how he was in the very first episode.

    Been giving Better Call Saul a go again after failing to get into it the first time around. No idea what I was on. Nearly finished Series 2 and I only started Friday. It's pretty good. Not Breaking Bad good, but still.

    The most confusing thing is the fact that the Queen and her daughter look the same age, and as you say, they haven't bothered to make them look older/younger in the slightest

    I think I actually looked this one up and the actresses are the same age. In fact the daughter might be slightly older than the Mum. They just try and make the Mum look as frumpy as possible to make it clear she is the Mum.

    They actually gave Aelswith grey highlights and put a bit of mud on her face in the final season to make her look older.

    The only one they seem to have made any real effort with is Alfred.

    It gets better every series. I'm not sure its highs are quite as good as Breaking Bad, but it has less filler so probably about evens out.

    Finding Moon Knight to be really, really dull. Fantastic lead acting performance but the concept and story is just a bit shit. Might not be able to finish it. Shame after their other big shows were generally good (Falcon was shit, but was still more watchable than this).

    Caught up with Severence. Excellent.

    As someone who watched every episode of The Leftovers without understanding a thing and hating it, I feel like Severence is the same theme of show but one that I understand.

    This has reminded me I'm two episodes behind so yeah, I'm probably not that gripped by it either despite each episode having at least a few decent moments.

    I've got the Channel 4 boxsets included in Sky now so I can catch up on some shit and not have to deal with All4. Caught up on Derry Girls and am now up to date. It's still quality. Also made a start on Father Ted. Literally takes about two minutes for a "haha paedophiles eh what are they like?" joke and the next episode has a warning in the description about blackface so... yeah, very of its time and very Linehan but as such I've also had some good laughs at it already.

    I'm also now onto series two of Kingdom which I'm enjoying very much. I'm a sucker for a zombie thing anyway but the setting is a bit different, they're getting better at the action scenes as they go along and, most importantly, it has lots of incredible hats in it.

    Just got fairly majorly triggered on Pointless Celebs when a question was asking for Arsenal and England fullback [AS] and it turned out to be Alex Scott.

    That is extremely bad faith if they didn't specify which team. She never played for what would be the generally accepted incarnation of those teams.

    The BBC don’t even differentiate on their sport website at all either these days.

    That IRLMNT and IRLWNT Americanised shit they go on with here is annoying, but at least when you see the W you can just keep scrolling.

    They've gone big on women's sport all round. Which is definitely because they're being inclusive and nothing at all to do with it costing pennies to buy the rights for.

    There was more detail [it was about the new presenter of Football Focus or something, hence me having no clue] but it is still underhanded.

    The Last Kingdom is so funny because it's constantly people saying 'I can only give you a dozen men' as a plot point and the audience is supposed to believe it's not because the show can't afford more than 12 horses.

    As if I haven't learned from the last two disasters, how would one watch Strange New Worlds? I presume a VPN won't do as Paramount+ would be a subscription job, or has anyone ever managed to sign up for the US version of it?

    Ozark finale was great. Such a top show from basically start to finish, although the flashback cameos felt a little egregious. Ruth though

    Apparently it's on free-to-air in New Zealand so if your VPN can land you there you can maybe watch it via their website: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/ which says it is premiering the same time as the US.

    I must have a look when I'm home but at first glance it looks like that's all will be needed indeed. Didn't realise anyone had it free to air.
