Film:
Deep Cover (2025) - thoroughly entertaining, especially Orlando Bloom, but not outstanding in the long term.
The Quiet Girl (2022) - beautifully shot and with a great, understated performances. A moving character study.
TV:
Murderbot, Babylon Berlin & Your Friends and Neighbors continue to be as good as ever. Poker Face has gone completely off the wall in season 2, but mostly works.
Sirens picked up a lot after the first episode. It was evidently adapted from a play, and you can clearly see some of the original scenes scattered through it: typically the best ones. There is probably too much filler between them though. Enjoyable overall though.
We watched the first couple of episodes of Stick. The obvious comparison is Ted Lasso, but whereas TL was a comedy with a sport setting, this one is a dramady about sport. Too much sport and too few laughs or worthwhile character beats. Also, too many scenes and too much dialogue that reminded me of Better Call Saul, but not in the same league.
