"Challenger: The Final Flight on Netflix. Very sensitively done as each of its four episodes switches between the human, technological and bureaucratic stories of the disaster. Amazing to hear how dangerous the shuttle program was known to be by Nasa and its suppliers, while simultaneously being sold to the American public and its civilian recruits as no more risky than a commercial flight. As a mark of respect for those involved the doc goes no further than ""died in the explosion"" as to the fate of the crew, when the reality was likely much more upsetting."

Not so much a Box Set but I've been watching all episodes again of Not Going Out with Lee Mack. All in all pretty funny for a reasonably present day comedy although when the kids come along the laughs get less. Fra better than half the crap you get now though.

The Haunting of Bly Manor was pretty shit. They took a excellent short story by Henry James and stretched it out over 9 episodes. \Hence it's slower than a tortoise in shackles. The Undoing is the business.

"Barbarians (Netflix) is a good watch - Germans V Rome. If you like ""Vikings"", ""Last Kingdom"" you will like this. Also ""To the Lake"" (Netflix) Russian Pandemic survivors."

"Has anyone watched The Haunting of Bly Manor? I’ve got one episode to go. It’s been universally panned but I like it. If you’re expecting something like Hill House then you will be disappointed, because it isn’t like that at all. I loved episode 5 especially, but it won’t be for everyone."

"On the third series of ""Parenthood"" now and for those that haven't seen it I would thoroughly recommend it. Watching it on Kodi ""The Crew"" addon just click on TV shows then search Parenthood and away you go."

"Watched ""American Murder _ The family next door"" last week anyone else seen it- only a single documentary however was disturbing and left me uneasy - wont spoil the story although most of its has already been played out however the fact that the whole show is basically a stitching together of social media and body camera footage is chilling - wife's got a relative who is FUKCING OBSESSED with capturing and sharing every last moment of her childrens days and spunking it all over social media DOES MY SWEDE IN and this story has a mother who is the same/worse..."

"Watching Brave New World on Sky. It’s not an easy watch but quite good. Based on the Aldous Huxley novel. In a West Ham link, Alex Bunbury’s daughter is in it (she’s a model turned actress)."

"Season 2 of The Boys has been superb, top comic book gore in the latest episode with multiple exploding heads! Keith Urban is giving Dick Van Dyke a run for his Cockerney money! And I think maybe replacing the word cսnt with wanker occasionally might make the English characters a little more believable"
