Mr McMahon - gripping stuff, gets hard to watch in the back half of episode 4 and start of 5. I think I'll give that a go. |

Pinwig has been left unsupervised so he's watching the 1987 He-Man movie for the first time in forever. The film thinks it's Star Wars but the music thinks it's Superman...

Mr McMahon - gripping stuff, gets hard to watch in the back half of episode 4 and start of 5. I was going to watch it but got the impression it was going to be a bit of a puff piece even despite recent events. Will give it a go. I have been plowing through One Piece on Iplayer. 60 episodes in and Im only slightly past were the live action show on Netflix got to. Early episodes had the best title and credits songs Ive heard in ages, absolutely top class. Now both have been replaced and I am sad. Though the new credits song is growing on me. |

It's not a puff piece, there are a few shots early door to him, based on historical events, before they get to the later allegations which saw him finally ousted from WWE.

Two episodes (of six) into NIGHTSLEEPER aka 'What if 'SPEED' but on a 6-hour train journey between Glasgow and London'. Featuring dramatic scenes...in Motherwell!!!!
The train is out of control!!! It will reach London...in six hours!!!
I like how silly it is. Lots of intense 'staring at phones' acting. Many daft lines. Take a sip every time someone dramatically says: "cyber".

I was thinking of giving that a go.
We've just finished watching The Passenger, which was on ITV a few months ago. Terrible. Billed as a mix of Happy Valley and Stranger Things, but fundamentally broken as it doesn't have an end. Clearly a series designed to run on into a second, but it looks like it wasn't renewed. You're hoping everything is explained in the last episode, instead it explains nothing and introduces a load more questions, so when the credits roll you're just left frustrated asking yourself what the point was. It made me really annoyed.

Sounded like its a good job no other trains ever run on the UK rail network that would get in its way. |

It's ok. Cyber Control can shut down all trains anywhere!!!

It is very very entertaining because it is very very stupid...but done with conviction.

Binge-watched the six part 'Citadel: Diana' on Amazon Prime, in Italian with subtitles. I thought it was much better than the American first season of 'Citadel', more atmosphere and no silly memory-wiping plot devices.
There's apparently an Indian spin-off to 'Citadel' coming next month.

Nightsleeper Part 3: There could be a traitor on board the train and the only way we can research the passengers on board...is by checking if they have a social media profile!!! There's just no other way for the intelligence services to find out about them!

There's apparently an Indian spin-off to 'Citadel' coming next month. Martin Yeah, apparently the idea from the start was to do a franchise where each local Netflix company can do its own Action Spy Thriller series under a loose franchise umbrella. I didn't realise that Diana had dropped over here yet though. Might have to add that to my "to get to watching" list. Currently in the process of finishing off Star Trek:Prodigy. One episode left to go, and I have to say that I am really enjoying the back half of the season. It's wonderful seeing how the core cast has grown over the course of the show, they are still an unlikely, and slightly unruly bunch, but in their own way they have really grown into a bunch of characters that are fit to headline a Star Trek show. (I really like Ma'Jel's arc this season - they've done the "learning that logic is just a tool, and sometimes it is not the right tool for the situation" beat - I wasn't sure when she was introduced whether I really liked having her added to the core cast, but her development has been done well and feels organic to the story in the right way). I hope they can stick the landing on this season - I am optimistic, they've done it before so hopefully they can do it again. Karl |

I was hooked on WWE during the attitude era, not really watched for the last twenty years or so. I remember it fondly but watching that was pretty uncomfortable in places. What's happened about the charges against him since that was made? |
