The Stand
M-O-O-N that spells “bloody long-winded.” I’ve watched 3 out of the 4 episodes so far and it’s so long, but nothing happens. It’s also overly sentimental, like do we need to hear the whole national anthem sung in full with close-ups of the teary eyed congregation?
I’m going to watch the final episode because if you’ve invested four and half hours out of six you may as well see it through. I doubt I’ll be watching it again though, it’ll be in CEX next week
The Americas with Simon Reeve
Travelogue with a twist. I love watching the Simon Reeve programmes, he goes to the well travelled places but shows you the bits you wouldn’t normally see. In the first episode you were given indigenous people being kidnapped and murdered, the second episode you got cowboys in Montana and legal cannabis shopping in Colorado, and the last episode I’ve watched people living inside a freeway bridge in LA due to the housing shortage and the high cost of rents. He hasn’t even got into Central or South America yet!
