    Caught up on Severance. A couple of high points, but if I didn't have a vested interest in it in the form of a woman I'd have given up a while ago. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with it.

    This is my feeling too. Mrs Less likes it, it's not terrible, but I find it a bit boring.

    Yeah, I felt the same. It got better towards the end of season one. I'm not rushing to start season two though.

    No spoilers for the last episode of Severance but feels like finishing there would be satisfying enough. Great acting, direction and production design but there’s just not much of a story to tell.

    I really liked the last episode and I think they left enough big questions open that there's plenty of room for season 3.

    We are on a rotation of about 15 programmes.

    Formula 1: Drive to Survive.
    The crown.
    Reacher.
    Day Of The Jackyl.
    Mr and Mrs Smith.
    Daredevil.
    Industry.
    The White Lotus
    Billions
    The Righteous Gemstones
    Peep Show
    The Night Agent
    Ripley
    Severence
    Landman
    Rogue Heroes season 2

    Really liking Landman. The buuuurds are ridiculous in the show and it is generally a bloke show, but wifey likes it too. She generally wants to watch White Lotus and The Crown and Drive to Survive but I am trying to mix it up every night even with a bit of a push back. Generally I get home about 8 to 830pm and have a short time to eat and watch so we watch those together and then she watches her shit wifey shows (real housewifes of everything and real estate reality shows like million dollar listing). One thing I cannot stand is coming home to her having CNN on for news which it isn't. It is just opinion and people screaming about the awful things that Trump has done all day. It's too much so I try and turn it off as quickly as I can because there is only so much insanity I can put up with per day.

    Chicago: Diverse.

    I started Adolescence yesterday. Excellent but not the most cheerful of shows. Once this is done I think it will be either S2 of White Lotus or S2 of SAS: Rogue Heroes.

    Not a happy show, but a real favourite of mine.

    Finished Adolescence. Brilliant, but unrelentingly sad.

    Finished Reacher. Terrible, but unrelentingly stupid fun.

    Started SAS: Rogue Heroes S2. So far as superb as the first season.

    I have been recommended The Pitt as a show worth watching. In reading about it I was amused to discover that it's the brainchild of this guy. It's nice to see he's keeping busy.

    This stalker thing is on tonight. Naomi is a friend. Don't know Brad but I saw some of the stuff start to happen. Stuff that didn't add up and was...odd being posted. The amount of folk who piled on with the "No smoke without fire" argument was a disgrace. Sometimes the accuser is the arsehole so keep your critical thinking in play.

    Watched it on iplayer and feel very sorry for the victims. But as the case still isn't resolved she can presumably carry on?

    This City is Ours, on BBC, is very good IMO. Only seen 3/8 episodes so it may tail off but so far lots of triceratops.

    Update: just finished The Pitt. It was absolutely superb if you like hospital dramas, which I do. First few episodes feel a bit creaky at points but it's well worth sticking with because it builds and builds to a quite incredible crescendo.
