Since Sports Are Now On - What Are You Watching?

I've heard it's not bad.

Welp, I made it into season 6 of Ray Donovan. Season 5 was almost a total fast forward, there's a lot of boring stuff, mostly anything that has to do with his wife, who was sorely miscast by Trixie from Deadwood. Season 1 was a little hard to get through. 2-4 were pretty good but they still drag here and there.

Finally getting the chance to watch season two of Mindhunter and Altered Carbon. I also plan on watching season one of The Witcher.

Westworld. When season 2 first premiered, I watched up to episode 3 and just stopped. Didn't really think it was as good as the first season, felt some of the dialogue was weaker, and found some really minor things annoying. So I went without watching the rest of the season. Since season 3 premiered Sunday, I decided to get caught up. Still have the same issues with the dialogue, but show's got some nice violence and the way the narrative unfolds is still pretty great. 

Probably going to finally start watching the Sopranos once I get caught up on Westworld. Been putting off watching that for fuckin years.

I just watched The Outsider.
Now going to watch season 2 of Altered Carbon.

Andrea Riseborough leads the cast in an adventure that takes in Senegal and Casablanca and LOTS of shooting and backstabbing

Reminiscent in some ways of the classic TRAFFIC

Will appear on Sky Atlantic

I’ve seen The Road ... bag of depressing shite, imo!

News mainly, but then again I am a media junkie. Well, journalism junkie anyway. I have increasingly less tolerance for a representative of Party X telling me they're doing/ would have done things so much better than Party Y.

For instance in Australia Party X banned travel and travellers from China as soon as the Virus exploded in Wuhan. When they did this Party Y claimed it was a knee jerk over reaction and racist. Then a couple of weeks later Parry Y claimed they would have handled the situation better when the reality than any objective analysis would tell you is Party X's reaction was far from flawless but regardless of what Party Y would have done they would have moved later and therefore the problem would be much worse. Conclusion: Party Y needs to shut up and vote the measures through.

I've been watching some of the Ultimate Quaranteam Tournament games.

It's a 128 team PS4 FIFA 20 tournament, played out by actual football clubs all over the world.

Forest Green Rovers play our 2nd round fixture tomorrow... Fingers crossed we make it through to the 3rd round of 32 teams.

It's quite enjoyable to be honest. The game graphics and gameplay are pretty good, and the matches are fairly brief, just two six minute halfs in real time.

Only downside is some clubs have drafted in pro-esports people to play for them, instead of fielding a genuine first team club player (boo those clubs!).

Anyone got a PS4 and copy of FIFA 20 they want to post me to while away the time having a go at the game myself 🤷‍♀️
