The backlog files: The Bear 9.5/10
Blitzed through seasons 3 and 4 of this FX offering on Disney+.
It's a sublime watch, Jeremy Allen White is brilliant as master chef Carmy Berzatto, the ensemble cast is star-studded - Oliver Platt, Jamie-Lee Curtis, Bob Odenkirk and Olivia Coleman to name a few.
Highly, highly recommend.

I said to the good lady,
Did you read the book? [yes of course] , my retort - lets not tarnish that.
Whats the point?
Yeah little bit unhappy that Guillermo del Toro decided he took this (frankenstein) on since - when it is know that Cameron asked him if he'd like to fill gaps in Alien for a big flick, allledgedly.

We're scratching around for things to watch, hence the Stein. They spent so long telling pointless things that they forgot to explain the important stuff... Not a spoiler, but how the feck did they end up in the North Pole???
Just started Down Cemetery Way, intriguing first episode.

Watched the first two episodes of The Iris Affair on Sky but not really feeling it and tempted to bounce off.

Is excellent. Death by Lightning about 20th US President James Garfield and his assassin, Charles Giteau is tremendous. Michael Shannon and Matthew McFadyen play the leads. Everybody in it is brilliantly cast, first rate script and splendidly directed. Oh and very funny in parts.
