More of a test Watched: Cross Season 1 📺 https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/213306/season/1

📺 Watched Killing Eve (Seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4) a while back now - but really - really good. Of course the leads in Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer were great - but to me ‘Konstantin’ played by Kim Bodnia and Fiona Shaw were just marvellous characters. ★★★★ 🖇️ Review Ratings https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/72750/season/1 https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/72750/season/2 https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/72750/season/3 https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/72750/season/4 https://john.philpin.com/review-ratings

📺 Watched 🔗 Boomers Season 1 and Boomers Season 2 - over a very protracted period of time - it has to be said. ★★ - though my gut says one - BUT - I did ‘watch’ them all because there were ‘bits’, so it was clarly not a write off …BUT Caveats … if you are English and ‘of a certain age’ - it might connect.... john.philpin.com https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/66029/season/1 https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/66029/season/2 https://john.philpin.com/2026/06/16/watched-boomers-season-and-boomers.html

Ok - nobody else is going to say anything - so I will. The conversation thread on my site has always bothered me … the reason is a little but ‘Alice in Wonderlandy’ - but bear with me. You have a post - and maybe every blue moon or so someone actually comments. For the vast majority of my posts - ‘Join The... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2026/06/16/ok-nobody-else-is-going.html

📺 Finished watching the 🔗 Second Season of The Four Seasons, having already checked off Season 1 a while back. ★★ is the best I can do. Nice premise, plenty of Vivaldi - but didn’t keep me coming back and sometimes forgot it for months on end. I never saw the Alan Alda movie - but nice touch to see him pop... john.philpin.com https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/243316/season/2 https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/243316/season/1 https://john.philpin.com/2026/06/16/finished-watching-the-second-season.html

📺 Finished 🔗 The Asset a while back and promptly forgot about it - which in itself tells you something. ★★ {Over the past few weeks I seem to have been in a ‘there’s nothing on’ mood. As I scrolled around a few ‘started and stopped’ shows popped up whilst others I’d forgotten all about reminded me that... john.philpin.com https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/262920/season/1 https://john.philpin.com/2026/06/16/finished-the-asset-a-while.html

📺 Watched 🔗 Missing You - another forgotten series. That said it is a ‘Harlan’ story and as I have noted before there are some great Harlan’s - just not all of them. I think the other challenge is that they all start to blend in to each other. ★★ {Over the past few weeks I seem to have been in a ‘there’s... john.philpin.com https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/244243/season/1 https://john.philpin.com/2026/06/16/watched-missing-you-another-forgotten.html

📺 Finished watching 🔗 Lawmen: Bass Reeves last night. I like a great Western - but this was only good - though made more interesting by the fact it was based on a true story. ★★   🖇️ Review Ratings https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/157732 https://john.philpin.com/review-ratings
