What are you watching? - 2025

It’s not easy to find. It’s only streaming on the Critereon channel in the US (currently).

There’s a Critereon Blu ray for about $30. I may have to pick that one up. It’s a good one and Richard Grant is generally fabulous.

I really liked him in the Franchise, a one season show about the making of a superhero movie that was very funny. Kind of a British The Studio.

Just reserved a copy from my library, it’s been far too long.

I just finished watching the 6 part British series Red Eye on Hulu. It was very good. It’s about a British doctor being framed for murdering a Chinese National as part of a much larger conspiracy. You have to suspend a lot of disbelief, but I still enjoyed it.

We started The Assassin on Crave tonight.

It’s set in Greece.

Just watched the last episode of Ballard. If they don’t renew this show for a second season I’m going to be really pissed!! Interwebs say the writers are writing but no commitment yet for a renewal.

Just started watching this. I really like Keely Hawes. Was surprised to see Josh O’Connor in this but I guess it’s before he hit the relative big time. Leslie Caron is also in it - I didn’t realise she’s still around and acting!

Fell in love with her watching Spooks/Mi 5 and then line of duty a few years ago. She and Matthew Mcfayden are married in real life-they met the first season of Mi5. Great actress-admire her along with Olivia Coleman and Nicola Walker.

+1 for Nicola Walker who was also in Spooks. Last Tango in Halifax soon followed; and well, in so many of her following roles she holds the screen and doesn’t disappoint.

My PIC is always looking for movies for us to watch, and he usually chooses well. Yesterday was no exception.

Sew Torn is a fun take on how our decisions & actions change or don’t change the outcome of a story. A seamstress somewhere in the Swiss Alps (where everyone happens to be speaking English, for some odd reason) gets entangled in a messy crime. Shades of Lola Rennt if that’s your groove. And if you’re into sewing, you will probably love it.
