Season 1 of Top Boy was ok, but season 2 is a bit "soapy" for my liking.

Kin was recommended to Mrs O and me by one of the extended family.
I'm the contrary type who tends to be put off by recommendations, to be honest.
While I was up to my ears in the form for Cheltenham Mrs O watched an episode and a half of Kin on that recommendation. She gave up and said I definitely wouldn't have liked it, partly because it wasn't great anyway _ she's difficult to please as far as TV/films go but I'm 20 times worse - but because of the bad language.
I'm not a prude (I don't think) and can swear with the best of them but I really do dislike swearing in films and on TV, especially if it's entirely gratuitous.
So I can't see me giving Kin an airing. I even gave up on Derry Girls after a while.

The swearing is definitely excessive. It's a big difference to my other show at the moment - going through Suits. Just finished the second season. Love it.
I actually went to see Dune 2 at the cinema last week and had to leave 15 minutes in as my Catheter was giving me issues, kept getting spasms. Turns out my body was rejecting it (partly because I wasn't drinking enough water) and I ended up having to visit A&E for a new one the following day. Good times.

Euro, I'll PM you at some point re catheter issues. I'm being monitored at the moment.
One film I forgot to mention recently is The Outfit with Mark Rylance in the lead role.
I'd have to say the gangster characters weren't entirely convincing but from a technical point of view it's quite riveting. If you watch it you'll know what I'm getting at.

3 Body Problem new on netflix,watched the first season in two days...it's absolutely nuts but entertaining if you like sci fi..
Scoop -the story of the Prince Andrew newsnight interview.Watched it with the wife last night -good solid Saturday night viewing.
This Town.
Slow burner but fabulous if you stick with it.
I had the misfortune to watch Barbie at the weekend - vacuous nonsense, followed by lecture, followed by vacuous nonsense and then another lecture. What a pile of old shite!
Fortunately, then watched Obsession - a 1949 thriller with Robert Newton. Excellent wee piece.
