Shogūn
Based on Clavell's book
Two episodes have been aired
It is very goodWatched three episodes and I'm really enjoying it. I haven't read the book in >30 years so this is effectively all new to me.
+1. Watched the first 4 episodes and finding it excellent. The actress playing Lady Toda is hawt and actually a Kiwi born Japanese! She was also in Giri/Haji and apparently had a bit part in Fast Furious 9
She's also the lead actress in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV+.
Hot AF!

@MiketheSnow how does it compare to the movie?

Stylistically it's bang on
TBH I can't remember the story from the movie

The Brothers Sun. Triad/family based comedy come drama. Lots of fairly well choreographed fight scenes, engaging characters and Michelle Yeoh playing a great part. Worth a look.

By coincidence I watched the movie last week. I can't remember if I had seen it before. Based on the description, the TV series looks to be told from the other side (i.e., the aristocrats).

Curb your Enthusiasm
…..such good fun to watch again. Larry and his cringy situations are absolutely hilarious.
Wasn't surprised to see Richard Lewis recently died.
He looked like he was at death's door in the recent episodes. -

Looks like the fern missed him in the RIP thread too, I’d better remedy that.

Yes. Giri/Haji is good.

Finished The Gentlemen
A rollicking romp in the vein of Lock Stock and Snatch
Vinnie in his best role
4 Toffs out of 5 Gs

The Gone. Well-plotted and well-acted but the Irish characters were a bit stereotyped. The use of te reo was really well done and added to the story.
3.5/5

@Victor-Meldrew advertised on sky as mori and Irish. That's new.

Thought the maori elements were great and really added to the story. Without being parochial, the Irish element seemed a bit tacked on. And Vanessa Rare - who I'd never heard of - was brilliant as Wiki.

HBO is so fucking good.
I'm back in JP and one local service has the HBO contract - I've started a slow re-watch of the Wire, which is still the best show on TV ever and started We Own This City, which is excellent (and cool to see some of the old players from The Wire back in action this time on the good side).
-
I rewatched The Wire during Covid and I thought it was even better than the first time I watched it.
Had a debate with my colleague, she did the same thing and thought it had aged really badly. I tended to think more that what the story is really about hadn't aged at all.

About to start 3 Body Problem
Have heard decent things, anyone else seen it ?
half way through, can confirm the 3 bodies is not a threesome so it might not appeal
Eliza Gonzalez is keeping my interest though, will update when I finish
