What's worth streaming on TV.

I just read that Somebody somewhere (probably best descibed as a dramedy) has 100% on rotten tomatoes and is in it's third season. so two things about that show I didn't know!

I'll probably watch DotJ but at the moment I'm kinda against series that take 8 x 1 hr episodes to tell something that we used to watch movie in 120mins.

Not saying this is the case here... I'm just wary of it, as it happens too much imo.

I'm in a weird phase where sitting down to watch 2 hours of a movie is just too much for my ADD self but 8 hours of a series? Perfect for my procrastinating self!

lol, thank goodness it's not just me.

The amount of times I've looked at a 2hr movie...thought 'nah', then watched 4-6 one hour episodes of something else is ridiculous!

Binged watched 'Black Doves' over the last couple of days.

94% on rotten tomatoes.

Black Doves - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Black Doves is a British spy thriller television series created by Joe Barton. The series, starring Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire, is developed by Sister and Noisy Bear for Netflix. Ahead of its premiere on 5 December 2024, it was renewed for a second season. The series is about a spies-for-hire organization that obtains secrets for the highest bidder.

The series has been met with positive critical reviews, and Knightley received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance.

So...it's quite good but as I've said previously, I'm grumbling at these 6 episode series that drag out what could be done in a 2 hr movie.

New and final series of VERA has landed.
