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.

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.

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.

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.
