I watched Robin Robin last night. Bit disappointed to be honest, but I think that's my own fault. It's very much a made for kids thing. It's very cute and there are worse ways to kill half an hour, but it's not up to Aardman's usual standards in terms of story or humour.

Single all the way is a very easy little cheesy Christmas watch, good cast as far as these kind of things go

Absolutely dreadful. Managed to get 32 minutes into it and had to give up.

French Toast

Harriet (2019).

I'm probably a little late to the party on this one, but a very enjoyable film. Went researching afterwards, hugely interesting history behind it.

Drunk History did a good telling of Harriet Tubman, I belive it was called Harriet Tubman Leads an Army of Bad Bitches

Sad Professor

Ugh, why? The 2020 one was terrible. I assume even Brooker thought so given that he's not involved in this.

Gloomtastic!

Just spent a great three hours or so watching Colin in Black and White. A black football quarterback brilliantly tells his life story and the insidious racism he faced. 9/10

Just watched '71, a film set in Belfast during the Troubles.

Highly entertaining. Had never before heard of it which surprised me. Would absolutely recommend.

The Day will Come - Danish drama set in the 60's at an orphanage. This could of easily been filmed in Ireland with priests and nun's instead, at least we weren't alone as a country doing horrible things to children decades ago. Its about 2 young bothers sent to live in an orphanage run by sadistic teachers and a brutal headmaster doing things 'for the good of the boys'. Its harrowing to say the least, and well worth a watch if you can stomach it.

I’m on season 2 of Dragon Prince

Fantastic story, greater adventure and great characters just like The Last Airbender - and just like The Last Airbender a woefully bad sense of humour. Fart jokes are not funny.

I suppose they're looking at the analytics of everything, if a show isn't quite doing the numbers they'll just move onto the next one.

Click and collect is well worth a Cmas watch

Only 50 minutes long so it was ideal for a Sunday morning watch in bed :@

That Unforgivable with Sandra Bullock is excellent. She really can act.

Watched it over the weekend. Didn't think it was great at all. Cumberbatch played his character very well but apart from the last 5 minutes nothing really interesting happened.

I know it has been out a while but I have to say really enjoying the Swedish show love and anarchy. Very fun light watch.
