What was the last TV show you watched?


Recommended Posts

A Small Light, 2023, Disney+/Hulu/Nat Geo

This miniseries kinda blew me away.  Superb acting and writing. 

From IMDB:

Quote
Follows twentysomething Miep Gies who, when her boss Otto Frank came to her and asked her to hide his family from the Nazis during World War II, didn't hesitate. For the next two years, Miep, her husband Jan, and the other helpers watched over the eight souls (Otto Frank, his wife Edith and daughters Anne and Margot as well as four others) in hiding in the Secret Annex. And it was Miep who found Anne's Diary and kept it safe so Otto, the only one of the eight who survived, could later share it with the world as one of the most powerful accounts of the Holocaust.
 

I binged this series ... 10 out of 10.

 

 

FUBAR, 2023, Netflix

(Season 1) - It was ok.  Thought some of the writing was sloppy.  Stream if you have the time...but if you don't you aren't missing much.  4 out of 10.

Black Mirror Season 6 - Netflix

This was a weird season, in that it seems to have moved away from dystopian sci-fi to ...umm something else.  Only five episodes ... none of them were particular great with IMO Episode 1 and 5 being pretty good.  Episode 2 felt really out of place for a Black Mirror episode but was ok.  Episode 3 was alright.  Episode 4 was largely meh.

The Watcher on Netflix. Rich people move into a nice house but the neighbours are all a bit mental...

One episode in and I'm suitably intrigued.

Oh, I started watching that but drifted away from it for some reason. Maybe I'll try watching from where I left it and see if I remember enough to get to the end. Or maybe I'll remember why I stopped watching it. :laugh:

Silo Episodes 1-5

I Really liked the books the show is based on and the show does not disappoint. 

8/10

I'd not read the books, however the series is really good. Pleased it got renewed for a second series also!

I've just the final episode of the first series to watch this weekend, series are too short these days.

So, now watching

Reacher S2

For All Mankind. its a bout an alternative timeline where NASA and the space race stayed important...each season is set in a different decade.

Slow horses (just discovered this, ace!)

and just started Beacon 23, only a few eps into that tho....

Over the last few months I've been slowly watching The X-Files from series 1. I'd never really watched it back in the day, just the odd random episode here and there.

Having now watched to series 5 over the last few months I will say I'm really enjoying it. Clearly a product of its time, however still holds up really well today in my opinion as a first time watcher. The conspiracy episodes in particular are fantastic, in some ways I wish the series was more like that all the time.

As a side note the HD remaster of it on Blu-ray / Disney+ looks stunning compared to the old DVDs my friend has of it. After seeing the difference he is planning to re-watch it also.

Binge watching One Piece (anime) on Netflix and Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 (season 2) on Amazon Prime (season 1 is on Netflix).

I am watching old Siskel and Ebert. It was the chief movie review show back in the day. (They are on YouTube does that count as tv?) Also I just watched the 1st episode of Monarch Legacy of Monsters.

Just finished True Detective s4, it was shorter at 6 eps compared to 8 for the others but I liked it overall.  Nothing is as good as the masterpiece that is s1, but s4 isn't a big step down compared to s2 and s3 IMO.

I watch all these except for Beacon 23, did you stick with it? It has mixed reviews on IMDB but I do like sci-fi.

I have started watching Shogun (love it!) and Constellation (watched the first two eps back to back, and the main characters started to annoy me, so we'll see how that plays out).

Other stuff I am watching:

Star Trek TOS (completed in January)
Halo, (although idk why I don't understand the plot, because I never played the game)
Star Trek TNG (up to ep 9 so far)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (wow, I love this, never seen it ever before but I am glad I started watching it) 
Alfred Hitchcock Presents (I am up to Season 6)
The Fall Guy (up to Season 2 so far)
Loudermilk (up to S2E7)

Some others I am watching now and again because I can't get into it: Surreal Estate, TED, Burn Notice, The Invaders)

    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
