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?
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.
Heart beats fast, colors and promises how to be brave? How can I love when I’m afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
Oh yes, it has arrived.
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
Movie review: RRR
So last night, I took the chance on turning on a movie, that we only watched the trailer to on Netflix. It was fantastical – a man running from a tiger for around a minute. I was kind of hooked. So yesterday, just for the fun of it, half expecting to shut it off minutes in, we sat down to watch RRR.
What a good movie. Don’t let the three hour run time daunt you. It’s a cinematic masterpiece. But don’t call it a Bollywood film. According to the director, it’s a Telugu film.
To me, it’s an action/adventure movie. It’s a buddy film. If it was an American film, it would probably be a buddy-cop film. But thankfully it’s not an American movie. I don’t think an American film studio could make an epic movie like this, and I hope that they never try.
From the slowmo action shots to the 47 minute dance off, it’s exactly what we needed to see last night. This was our first Indian movie that we’ve watched (except the snippets of Indian movies playing at India Restaurant).
So give this movie a chance. Open up your Netflix, and turn it on. You won’t be disappointed.
My only thought is our first Indian movie has set the bar very high. We’re worried that all the other movies will fail to hold a candle to watch we just watched.
Do you guys have any suggestions for other movies to check out?
