TV - Here We Go season 2 - The initial one-off special was one of the best things to come out of COVID in terms of TV (with the first season of Staged being the other (and taking prime position)). Season 1 didn’t reach the same heights, but was still pretty entertaining. The first couple of episodes of S2 have both been winners again as far as I am concerned.
TV - The New Avengers - the '70s follow-up to the classic '60s show. It never recaptured the magic of the Steed and Mrs Peel years, but it did have Joanna Lumley, which counts for a lot in my book. The opener also had Peter Cushing, so there’s that. I enjoyed it back in the day, but I doubt that we’ll do more than dip into a couple of eps this time around.
Film - The Holdovers - a well written dramady that did nothing original in the way of plot, but peeled back the characters’ layers to show that you can never know what people are living with. A well told tale with plenty to engage the viewer.
