Bake-off taken a weird turn
No but the broadcasting of Part 3 has been cancelled. Super injunction suspected. Probably from one of the disgusting bureacrats or one of the horrible right wing MP's Labour have been infiltrated by.

Watched the first 3 episodes of the Dahmer thing last night - pretty scary but brilliantly played and written. Continuing with it tonight.

Don't Worry Darling left me thinking, well that looked nice but was nothing special

Florence Pugh however, as always, absolutely fantastic, she can't half act.

Harry Styles can't act, only there because he is dating the director. Apparently he is even worse in the other film he has out at the moment

I would still recommend going to see it because of Florence Pugh.

I'd recommend waiting until it's on streaming. Florence Pugh has to be brilliant to hold the attention of the audience for the duration of that film, because her co-star didn't contribute anything.

You can't beat a Saturday brunch in Cork followed by a pint followed by an afternoon movie. Downhill from there on, avoid See How They Run, its awful.

See How They Run- thought it was alright, amusing but not laugh out loud. Not in the same class as knives out.

The Old Man on Disney+. Only two episodes released so far, but this is looking very promising.

House of the Dragon really is picking up pace and starting to look like a worthy addition to Game of Thrones. It’s already better than the last 4 seasons

Yeah - I'm sticking with it but I don't really think it's near as good as GoT. I think what I liked the most about GoT was the running of multiple storylines in different parts of the world. HotD seems to be set in one place at a time, all the time. As I said, I'm sticking with it for now, but someone better throw a pie soon.

Finished Dahmer last night - I defy the critics, me. I thought it was well done - particularly Evan Peters' performance.

Yes, last night's episode was good and as you say the pace has picked up somewhat, but I'm still not as wildly excited as I was when first watching GoT. Maybe I'm just getting old and tired.

I think I’m just really enjoying the performances - you’re right that it’s probably not quite up to peak GoT, though it’s better than the meandering period between season 5-7 when it didn’t really seem to have any focus.
Paddy Considine channeling Reece Shearsmith for the well meaning but rubbish king is a highlight of the week for me.

Also, Andor is properly good. Not “yay Star Wars on telly” good, but REALLY good

Finally given up on Rings of Power. It is properly, properly gubbins. Last episode was supposed to be the pay off for over half a season of wooden acting, terrible scriptwriting and a painful aversion to plot development, and it was absurdly bad. Everything that does happen in the show depends on characters making inexplicably bad decisions at every single juncture.

New got is fine. Not enough of the madcap occult or lore nonsense that made the original series so good, it's almost all politicking done pretty well.

Disagree on Rings of Power, works really well for me. A few contrivances to be sure, but if the story is going the way I think it is, then it’s well plotted. I’m enjoying the pace and the performances. But I do think that having House of the Dragon at the same time means I’m getting the flavours I like my fantasy telly in from different sources - if HotD wasn’t on, I might find some of the tweeness a bit much.
