No complaints about the GOT season. I enjoyed it very much.

Started The Peripheral over the weekend. Might this be the Amazon adaptation of a book from a beloved author that is worth watching? First two episodes have me very intrigued indeed!

For the hell of it, knowing nothing about the show, wanted to see if I could find a review of Alaska Daily that didn’t mention Northern Exposure. Rolling Stone? TV Guide? LATimes? Hollywood Reporter? Chicago Sun-Times? C’mon guys, there must be one. I give up.

That's funny. It has nothing in common with Northern Exposure, but since series about Alaska (withstanding reality shows, which really have nothing to do with reality) are rare, the comparisons will abound certainly. 

I imagine the show will be more fun for myself, because of the buildings and locations that I know well. Same can be said of the local viewpoints, which they've actually captured well.

It does make me homesick, so hopefully they'll film in winter to break that spell. 😁

Started watching The Peripheral. Pretty good; only watched the first episode but will try to catch some more this weekend.

Shantaram. Four episodes in and while it plays like the book is likely even better and can come across a little white savior-y, it's a pretty compelling story and well visualized. Highly recommended you check it out if you have AppleTV+. Alternatively the Hollywood Reporter calls it "sprawling, meandering and inconsistent." 😶

An Enjoyable Police Procedural, with an unusual setting, and plenty of breaking the fourth wall.

Derived from a BBC Radio Show , that ran for 6 series ...

With Nicola Walker playing the eponymous lead in both.

Now on PBS / Masterpiece

The Theme tune / song is evocative.
