What are you Watching Today Part 2

New series of Day of the Jackal is, to my surprise, good. It doesn't try to recreate the film, but is a short series influenced by the book. I've watched three of the five episodes, so hopefully it doesn't tank in the final two, but so far this one is recommended.

Watched it and it was OK. Redmayne isn't a very good baddie.

But he's a rather good 'Edward Fox' . Many of the little mannerisms and looks are nods to the original film.

I thought the Kneecap film on Amazon Prime was pretty funny if not quite worthy of some of the lavish praisenits received.

I just finished the 1st series of Wolf Hall and I really enjoyed it. Mark Rylance is bloody brilliant in everything he does, and this is no exception.
Started 2nd Series last night and it seems to be just as good (and the substitutions at half time seem to be working out well)

S2 is excellent. Rylance is a brilliant actor.

He is. I'm going to see him in Juno and The Paycock this weekend.

Nice one. This was a play we studied for English O Grade wouldn't mind seeing it, but looks like it ends on 23 Nov.

[Dunners]

It does, but he does a lot of plays like this in the West End. I've seen him several times now in the last few years.

Just watched episode 1 of The Penguin. Liked it. Early days yet but this could be really good.

I've now watched it. Definitely a really good series. Everyone went into this on the basis that Colin Farrell would turn in a brilliant performance. He did but, for me, Cristin Milioti totally stole the show. An absolutely incredible performance from her, for which she deserves awards.

I also only just realised that I first saw her In The Sopranos, playing the daughter of Johnny and Ginny (don't mention her arse) Sack.

Was also about to post about Penguin, as finished it last night. As per Dunnem, Milioti was excellent, both lead actors were fantastic and the whole thing ticked along brilliantly. Thoroughly enjoyable spin-off, with room for more without being reliant on any DC crossovers or the like (although: spoiler, a letter mentioning someone right at the end who featured in The Batman suggests there might be a bit of that to come).

The flashback episode that just completely changes how you view Sofia is excellent.
Also credit to the actor playing young Oz, he nailed it
