Been to see the new Indiana Jones movie? Binged a great series? What have you been watching, and should we watch it too?

We finished 24 season 2 last week and needed a bit of a palate cleanser, so stuck on Black Mirror season 6!

Joan is Awful was pretty good, but absolutely loved Loch Henry. Will probably crack on with that tonight.

We're switching from Virgin to Sky later this month (hopefully) so we'll actually have a wealth of TV shows to watch, including:

  • Barry
  • The Last of Us
  • Succession
  • Chernobyl

Open to suggestions!

Loch Henry felt like such a return to more traditional black mirror for me. Without spoiling too much:

spoilerThe bleakness at the end and the very on point message about how technology is used in today's world

was fantastic

24 was a pretty good series overall. I remember somewhere around season 4/5 maybe, the writers were told off for starting story threads that just got lost in the events of a season and never resolved.

It's a banger up until Season 5.

Season 6 is basically all the plots from 1-5 recycled. Redemption (the TV movie) was a great little diversion. Season 7 was pretty good, as was 8. Never finished Live Another Day. Didn't bother with Legacy.
