What TV Shows Are You Watching?

Crazy Rich Asians….the TV show. Who is looking forward to that after almost 10 years
 
Slow Horses S6 was pure gold. Again! Hard to think of another show this consistently good.

And they have already filmed S7, so even if River becomes James Bond we have one more season left
 
Mid way through The Diplomat Season 4. The thing about shows based on quasi-realistic news, you have to evolve the show as news in the real world develops.



I knew the whole Boris thing had to go so Rory Kinnear exits in a rather surreal episode where he's haunted by the ghost of Celia Imrie. I never thought The Diplomat was a show that would use apparitions. David Gyasi just dies off screen.



Then next - how do you incorporate the current Trump administration when you were hedging your story bets on the female VP who became VP because of an elderly President passing away in the office....



Now a few episodes in Keri Russell is accusing Rufus Sewell and Allison Janney of acting like a mafioso and bullying allied countries to submit to the will of the United States. It makes her uncomfortable as the go between as ambassador to the 'closest' ally.



Although I'd like to correct the show writers - being bullied to bend the knee to the States within closed doors was pre President Trump. Now you just get litigated and humiliated on social media and TV without your representatives/diplomats/leaders even meeting.



Oh this season has very dark lighting for the indoor scenes. The ambassador's residence. The White House. I don't remember the previous season's White House being so dark.
 
I finished The Diplomat. Surely the next season has to be the last one.

Is it instructional in showing your top diplomat to UK, your chief of staff, your secretary of state and your vice president all walk out on you at a G7 conference is the way to instigate regime change? Surely for the current sitting President, that's just an opportunity to appoint a whole bunch of 'acting' characters from the bench of sycophants tripping over each other to serve the administration.
 
Watching Nobody Wants This.

By season 3, I've completely lost interest in the quirky traits of the Jewish community in Los Angeles. I've also lost interest in whether Kristin Bell will follow through with her conversion to live in Adam Brody's rabbi and wife life.

The only thing keeping me interested is Justine Lupe. She apparently was pregnant in season 2. Most women look worse after giving birth but somehow she lost weight and looks hotter now. Also her character's intelligence level is about as high as I would want to contend with in a woman.
 
Finished Nobody Wants This

Kristen Bell finally becomes Jewish...

But there was only one reason to watch season 3 and that's



...seeing Justin Lupe and Timothy Simons hook up. Unfortunately I had to put up with 8 1/2 episodes of other stuff but you can see the best parts of season 3 in this YouTube video.
 
Started Black Doves season 2. Kind of forgot the premise of the show but the recap at the beginning helped. Ben Whishaw is now stuck doing kills to pay off debt. Something he warned against in the first series. Ambika Mod is a new addition as "the muscle".
 
I watched a few eps of the new Black Doves and could not get into it

I saw the first three eps of Legends on the plane today - it’s an excellent little Brit undercover cop drama
