A classic
I grew up watching Father Ted and loved it then, and I can't believe that over 20 years on, the original few series are still being shown on tv. They really don't make sitcoms like this anymore, it's such a classic and can beat any modern day sitcoms hands down.

You'd never think a comedy about priests on a small island would work, but its absolutely hilarious - mainly due to a great script and a fantastic cast and characters. Ted, Dougal, Jack and Mrs Doyle are such loveable comedic characters, it's hard not to like this show.

It's showing it's age a little now, unsurprising consider it first came out in 1995. Its a shame really that they were never able to make any more series, but in a way this is probably better than them taking it too far (or god forbid doing a modern day series). But it's still brilliant.

Just finished devouring ep 2/S2 of 'True Blood'. Took me long enough to sink my fangs into it. (Pun fully intended).


Now off to bed for some not so light reading.
I am currently absorbed in 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood. Powerful, disturbing, compelling and utterly heart wrenching.

I finished watching the tv series last week which is absolutely brilliant.
A must watch for those interested in dystopian and New World Order themes.
Definitely influened by George Orwell's classic 'Big Brother' totalitarian novel, '1984'.

Watched all episodes in one go - it was that mindblowing
I wondered what all the hype was about until I started watching this gripping true crime documentary series on Netflix. After the first episode, where it seems like a slightly average episode about the death of a nun, I did think what the deal was, until the second episode and literally shouted at the TV screen. The claims are explosive and jaw dropping. If you loved Making A Murderer, then this is definitely worth a watch.

"I’m going to break your rules, and I’m going to mention The Singing Detective, which was a TV series out of Britain with Michael Gambon. I don’t know if you ever saw it. Dennis Potter; it was so amazing. I remember watching that while I was acting training, in my first year of acting training, and I loved it so much, I got depressed, because I remember thinking, “I will never be able to act as well as Michael Gambon.” It was just so incredible."
