I enjoyed it all the way through. A little Fargoish and a little like Patriot.
The main character is the least interesting person in it.

I would agree with that. Helen is great and of course Billy with the mother with 1000 jobs

Budget seems to have increased judging by the guest stars.

Just seen the West End musical, Frozen. It's surprising me to say this - but it was f*cking awesome.

When i went the main characters changed races as they aged.

It was okay, a rough retread of the film.

I'm working my way through most theatre productions. Next Saturday I'm off to see The Shark is Broken , so expect a thorough review.

Given a) it's Disney, b) the central premise is smashing the patriarchy, and c) it's received a 5 star review from The Guardian, I was braced for some wokery. Continuity issues with the lead characters melatonin levels was a new one, however. But we, the audience, graciously overlooked this as the child actors all put in a good performance.

I thought the quality of the stage production and effects was on a different level. Obviously anything with the Disney brand will have a decent budget, but it did impress. And the out-of-the-blue Hygge number was great.

I am watching the Wheel of Life on Prime. Bit like Lord of the Rings I suppose. It's quite fun.

Four Lives was very good. The Met really are s***, aren't they.

Stephen Merchant was very believable considering he normally plays for laughs. Even though I have mainly seen Sheridan Smith as he life has been played out in the tabloids, I was very impressed with her as well.

Went to see the Dirty Dancing musical today, so you don't have to.

It's actually worse than you're currently imagining.

The Mousetrap at St Martin's Theatre.

Good production and all actors put in a decent shift for what is a well established West End play. But full of plot holes. Worth it if you've not seen a previous production, but the script and plot feels dated now.

Yep. Even after London is nothing but a post-nuclear wasteland, this will still be showing. This will be our legacy to a future civilisation.
