Midsomer Murders
So it’s been a while since I’ve talked about what I’m watching. We watch PlutoTv pretty much every night. Mostly to watch Antiques Roadshow. Well, there’s another channel on Pluto that interested me. But it’s a live channel, so I was always missing the beginning of the show – Midsomer Murders.
Midsomer Murders is a British “comfy police procedural”. The episodes are about an hour and a half each. It’s about two cops in Midsomer county, and they investigate murders in their area.
There’s a lot of murders. It’s on par with Murder, She Wrote for the body counts that tally up through out the episodes. I’m currently on series two. And I’m throughly enjoying the episodes that I’ve watched.
The humour is pretty close to dad jokes, and those types of laughs. There’s a running joke now though out the two series that I’ve watched: DS Troy is a terrible driver.
I’m really enjoying what I’ve watched so far. The crimes are very complicated, and I haven’t guessed one killer yet. Probably because the episodes move very slowly, until they move quickly.
What’s your “comfy” British shows that you watch?
The Mighty Nein – live at Wembley
Well, here we are again. This time about 3 weeks late. I finally got the chance to sit down, and devote 4.5 hours of a bunch of nerdy ass voice actors playing D&D. It. Was. Amazing.
It truly felt like slipping into your most comfortable pair of pants. I don’t want to be one of those stereotypical “critters” that say this campaign helped me through a tough time. But it really did. After I moved out of my parents house … I was pretty much alone. Not pretty much,
Totally alone.
So I started watching campaign one. If anyone watched that. The first 20 or so episodes are plagued with audio problems, and the fact that it starts in the middle of the campaign, didn’t really gel with me, so I did the next best thing – shut off campaign 1, and really dove into campaign 2.
My review of campaign 2 is right here for you.
The thing that I said about these one shots are like slipping into your favorite pair of pants, is exactly true. As soon as the first words of this live (first time since 2020) show were uttered, it was like watching the whole campaign over again.
It was amazing. From the ad read to the call and response to the final standing ovation, I was on the edge of my seat, laughing, tearing up, laughing again. What a ride. I could watch these nerds in these characters over and over again.
I’ll keep watching them until they don’t want to do it again. And I’m pretty sure Travis just pushed Matt to do another one when his character asked his wife’s character to marry him. You could tell Matt, along with the rest of the cast was blown away by it.
Thank you again for these characters. For the fun, the sadness, and for the giant kaiju battle. Long live The Might Nein!
Thank you.
Lockup Library: Star Trek: Picard Season 1
So today while Crystal was sick, and sleeping in the bedroom I watched Star Trek: Picard. It’s part of the library on Paramount+
I shouldn’t say I watched it. I binged the entire season. I’d still be watching it, but the stupid ass licensing here in Canada means that the company that originally produced and made the show, only the first season is available on Paramount+
I really enjoyed the first season. Great mystery. The only thing that I thought of through all 10 episodes is that the TNG cast is so old. I remember them in their prime from TNG.
And you know if they’re old, that means I’m very old.
That was depressing.
But other than that, I really enjoyed the show, and I’m eagerly awaiting if and when the next season becomes available on the service.
It was really really nice to see some of the old cast reunited again. They fell right back into their comfortable roles. You could tell that they were having fun being back together.
