“Sober but social” -my new tagline
It will still be tv, movie and book reviews, mixed with my odd views on other stuff along the way.
And of course there will be the odd spelling mistake.
Finally this has landed with all 4 seasons on NowTV, it only finished in 2024!!

I’ve only been waiting and checking all 2025 for it to turn up!

Blue Lights Series 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Saw mixed reviews when this aired, not sure why, every bit as good as series one and two.
The final two episodes were filled with tension and character moments. And well directed by Angela Griffiths.

If one quibble it was 2 episodes shorter than previous series.

Trump really runs the country with the mentality of I saw it in a movie once, doesn’t!

Badly scripted, razzie winners are not how the world works!

Cinema trip 2 in 2026

Song Sung Blue ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Half way through this I was like this is going to be strong melodrama/biopic, but by the end, I was genuinely moved by this film. Hudson the big screen has missed you for so long! And Jackman gives one of his strongest performances.

And so 2026 cinema trips have begun…

Cinema Trip 1 in 2026

Marty Supreme ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Direction, costume, sets, score this is a 5 star film and will be an awards darling. The acting is also top notch from Chalamet, A’zion and Paltrow especially. But for me Marty is so obnoxious and unlikable 1/2

Overcompensating Season 1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a fun first season, hidden amongst the crude funny humour is a show with heart and a lot to say to those who feel that have to hide who they are.

Book 1 read in 2026

Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not her best, but a solid easy page turner.

Well this guys a year sober! Look at that!

Cinema double bill to end 2025 cinema visits

Trip 135 in 2025

Anaconda ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/10 IMDb

Charmingly stupid and then throw in a little more stupid for this meta poke at the franchise and Hollywood.

Heading to the cinema for the final double of 2025

Gen V Season 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another solid season, gross in all the right ways, bloody good fun. Shame the shows in we have no faith in anything limbo, the streaming platforms like to put us through.

Start of 2025 to now! Like anyone gym fit or not I have good and bad days with my body! But I’m genuinely happy with it at the moment!

And sobering sure has helped with that mental outlook.

This bop has been totally slept on!

Diana Vickers served on this!

9-1-1 Season started with a literal Jump The Whale moment (I am aware it’s shark)…and it’s very sillier than normally so far.

Love em’
December 27, 2025 at 11:58 AM
That’s work now done for 2025! Sure it will smack me in the face again in 2026!

Until then Merry Christmas to all my follows!

This is what I think to the group of lads in the banged up Fiesta who shouted “batty boy” as I hugged another man tonight!

Well I ain’t scared, I won’t hide away and I won’t be anything I’m not!!
December 22, 2025 at 10:33 PM
Well that was bloody good!

The War Between The Land and The Sea

a merry little EX-MAS ⭐️⭐️

Silverstone was charming but the rest was average and Joan Hart was totally wasted.
