A couple of Antipodean offerings. First, an Australian black comedy/police procedural streaming on Amazon Prime:

And a Kiwi post-apocalyptic black comedy  streaming on Hulu:

Yes, really like this. The lead actress is in another Australian series about politics and plays a much livelier, if vapid, political operative. 

Also great: "Defending the Guilty", a BBC series about an aspiring British barrister who may not be cut out for a cutthroat career in law. Sadly lasted only 1 season due to Covid lockdown. The lead actor is quite talented and has directed a coupla movies to boot.

I didn't include Christians in that list because I think most would also require closed captions - although they may not want them. 

But regardless, my favourite theme about the show, no matter how coarse the language may be, is when friends ask for help, you help them.

Oh I see you working. We don't need no stinking linguists. We got practicalities. Arggggggggggggggg! lol

We’re binging and enjoying Hijack, too.
Of course, I enjoyed it the first time around when it was Die Hard.

I was left alone with the TV remote yesterday and was going to re-watch Slow Horses but this caught my eye. So I binged 6 of 7 episodes. I don't know how they can make "Airport," a 90-minute movie with a lot of drama and soap opera in the air and on the ground, into a 7-hour TV show (essentially) that's even more gripping? But they did it. So it's formulaic in that way, and I can accept that. But it's ludicrous how goddam stupid it is sometimes. One line in this trailer is such a clunker when it happens because it runs contrary to the character's style. But a major plot point (might be a spoiler but that's okay because it was a spoiler for me as soon as I saw it) is that passengers were communicating with the ground and the hijackers wanted to stop that, so they shut off the plane's wifi. MAJOR plot point. 

Three-and-a-half stars, Joe Bob says check it out.


We just finished watching Season 5 of Luther and bad writing seems to follow Idris Elba around whatever he's in.

In an episode tonight someone made reference to winning an election and then the courts take it away from you.

Too soon, man.

It's got Rufus from The Man in the High Tower (I still need to finish that). I think it's pretty smart. Most of the cast is growing on me.  Lenny Kosnowski as Donald J. Biden is fun. 

Reminds me of Slow Horses. Hope we get a season 3 of that one.

Rufus Sewell is a great, great actor. Wasn't thrilled with how The Man in the High Tower petered out at the end but that was an amazing series. I've been buying up a lot of Philip K. Dick's stuff because of that and Bladerunner and Minority Report and...

Must check out Slow Horses. 

"Kleo Straub" on Netflix is pretty good. Can't wait to watch Season 3 of "Happy Valley" and the next season of "Babylon Berlin."

Three episodes into this and it’s about 75% of the West Wing. Serious topic, but some comedic stuff intertwined through it.

We kept waiting for "the change" from when a show attempts to hook you vs. when it "hits its stride".  Finished the season.... still waiting.

Just finished Drops of God on Apple TV... it was pretty good.

Just started this....
1 episode in... really interesting so far.
