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.

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 itâs about 75% of the West Wing. Serious topic, but some comedic stuff intertwined through it.

Cunk on Earth via Netflix. Only five episodes but we laughed hard throughout. Rumour has it HobieJoe is a fan, too. Trailer here:
I believe there are a couple of other Cunk series on YouTube (Cunk on Britain and Cunk on Shakespeare), but we haven't had a chance to look for them yet.
I caught the 1st 3 episodes. Hilarious. Might be the funniest thing out of Britain since Python.
