What TV Have You Seen?

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

I recently watched all three seasons of The Fall. I watched the first season when it was on TV about 10 years ago and enjoyed it despite feeling somewhat unfulfilled when it finished. I've no. I have no idea why I didn't watch the second and third seasons but I'm very glad I caught up with them on Netflix because they make the story and characters much more interesting and bring offence to a fairly satisfactory dénouement.



Before that, I watched The Umbrella Academy, a show I thoroughly enjoyed and will probably rewatch next month because there is a lot I think I either missed or will appreciate malt with a second viewing. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you added to your watchlist.



I also watched Mrs. America, a superbly performed and engrossing dramatisation of the movement to pass and ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in the US during the 1970s, and the opposition against the movement. There are brilliant performances from a cast including Cate Blanchett, , Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, John Slattery, Sarah Paulson, Tracey Ullman, and Elizabeth Banks. It's a very good miniseries which is worth watching whether or not you have any interest in or knowledge about US politics.

Smallville: Season 3.

Clark is on a small crime spree as Kal, Lex has been stranded on a island after being betrayed by his new wife, when they return to Smallville they try to move on but secrets that should be hidden in the Luthor family begin to surface with the help of Chloe and mob boss Morgan Edge. When Lex slowly uncovers a few things Lionel has him committed to Belle Reeve Sanatorium, Johnathan has made a deal with Jor-El that may come with a consequence. Can Lionel orchestrate his revenge on those while in prison? Clark has to deal with being blind which sharpens another ability...his hearing.

This season started off good then slided down a few episodes then came back with a good punch and how they tried to deal with a mental health issue that Michael Rosenbaum played out well as Lex. Throughout the films Lex does talk about his father was and John Glover plays Lionel well and as manipulative as he is made out to be. Rutger Hauer and Patrick Bergin play the role of Morgan very well as Michael McKean turns up as a drunk Perry White trying to find the Kent's secret and falls short.

How are you watching a season of Smallville a day. 24 episodes a series

24 x 40 mins = 960

960 / 60 = 16 hours. Do you basically have eight hours sleep then watch Smallville the rest of the time?

Not exactly 8 hours I can survive on 5 hours hours per day.

Smallville: Season 4.

Lex survived his brush with death and has found a relic with a crystal in it, Lana is in Paris and meets Jason Teague, when Lana returns to Smallville her personality has changed. Clark returns in a bolt of lightning only to be found by Lois Lane who is looking for her cousin Chloe who perished in a fire...so it seems, and someone in Smallville finds out about Clark's secret. Lionel is somewhat freed from prison and seems a changed man but can the Luthors be trusted and why is everyone interested in the three missing crystals. Smallville had one meteor shower and Clark arrived, there is about to be another and what will arrive this time??

This season was interesting as it explores the use of Black Kryptonite and how it can be helpful at times, I wasn't keen on the prolonged use of the witch story that did seem to drag on for a bit but was nice to see Jane Seymour be a total bitch towards the end. Margot Kidder had a nice little small role in some episodes as her character worked with Dr. Swann ( RIP Christopher Reeve, who died during this season). At some phase we do see the darker side of Lex come out and we know what to expect.
