The Conrad Conundrum
So, I caved. Finally. It took me literal years to get on this show, and now I’m knee-deep in season three like some kind of deranged loyalist. That’s the thing about me: I don’t casually watch TV. No, no. I binge until I’m dehydrated and emotionally unstable. Commitment, darling. Anyway. Episode seven. Conrad does the look. You know… Continue Reading →

Unnerving USS Callister
Finally Black Mirror is back and perhaps in the same chaotic way you feel after watching an episode – my thoughts are going to be sporadic and non linear below. I was well and truly ready for my disturbing dose. Eager with anticipation, I wondered just how far down the technological rabbit hole will we… Continue Reading →

A single snake
My heart momentarily skipped a beat thinking oooh my TV crush is single but it was short lived. Possibly the quickest hook up turn around time post break up on TV! Heavy sigh. “That boy is a real snake…” my belated mother would’ve said that about Jug and it seems super fitting given that he… Continue Reading →

Kai’s kool – aid
Evan Peters performance would make me drink his crazy kool-aid ( or divine semen!oh my- it’s contextual people) I would drink litres of it after that episode and his fantastic display of his acting gravitas. I love this series, what it represents, uncovers and the dialogues it generates on the gritty topics that need addressing,… Continue Reading →

Kooky Kai
It’s the little things in life like one of your favourite TV shows returning that make all the difference. Let’s just take a moment before we jump in to recognise how wonderful blue hair looks on a shaggy Evan Peters…goodness. Please note I will not be mentioning clowns because I am still trying to erase… Continue Reading →

Abhorrent Aunt Lydia
Just when I was feeling somewhat lost with The Leftovers finishing and currently in a bit of a lull until my TV shows come back on air, the commanding Ann Dowd’s presence was back on my screens with her terrifying role as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale. I am not going to talk about… Continue Reading →

Yassssssssss Younger
What have I been doing and how did this slip off my TV radar and excel spreadsheet of shows to watch? The shame… especially since I pride myself on being across such TV shows, to be fair, my list is sooooo long. Apologies Darren Star. Apologies. Please forgive me Pamela. Admittedly I haven’t been keeping… Continue Reading →

Glorious Gilfoyle
Firstly, could we give the wonderful female writer of the latest episode of Silicon Valley, Meghan Pleticha, just the biggest excitable clap. What a dream – and an inspiration for us female writers. Ok gush over. Thanks to her sharp and punchy writing this episode was all time. Season 4 is really busting out some oratorical gems…. Continue Reading →

Noteworthy Nelson
” Do you think wearing the name of the college you’re going to to class is the same thing as wearing the name of the band you’re going to to a concert?” SUCH AN IMPORTANT QUESTION! YES.YES, I DO. To some Nelson “Bighead” (Bag head) Bighetti may be an unemployable programmer in the Valley who… Continue Reading →

Piperchat, prepositions and pant wetting
*spoilers* Oh golly! Here’s my nonsensical adoration rant for this show. So here is just a little slice of my takeouts I loved from this episode. You know you have watched some quality comedy when the following happen; ( and in no particular order) laughing out loud, snorting(that embarrassing laugh) , beverages consumed whilst watching… Continue Reading →

Masterful Madden
I won’t lie – I miss Robb Stark and you can flick through my posts about that inevitable grief. You can imagine my delight when FINALLY Australian TV aired Medici – Masters of Florence recently. Also, an avid lover of a good period piece, I have to fess up that my knowledge of this family… Continue Reading →

Redoubtable Richonne
Firstly, a zombie apocalypse is no setting for a romantic romp! Whilst I am not going to linger on the romance aspect of this episode , (maybe because I don’t really know my true feelings on the matter!) I will address the following; I cannot be the only one who thinks of contraception challenges in… Continue Reading →

Marnie’s Meltdown
Oh, Marnie. My heart just burst with/for you during that episode. No doubt others globally were empathising with that meltdown. And what an important one to have. Am I right? Sometimes you have to go there…yikes , and haven’t we been there in one way or another …at least once. What’s growing up without a… Continue Reading →

Paving The Path-way
I’ve come up from air after my travels abroad and absolutely needed to discuss in a haphazard manner, the Hulu/Amazon show – “The Path” . It’s quite poor on my part to have left it so late in the game to watch this, but being the dedicated and somewhat accomplished binge watcher that I am,… Continue Reading →

Splendid San Junipero
Black Mirror Spoilers Ever wake up and think you want to escape to somewhere like you know, San Junipero?! Yes…that’s the first thought I had upon waking today. Thanks to the latest season of Black Mirror, I can’t stop daydreaming into that landscape and world that is the party town and endless dance floor of… Continue Reading →

Rankled Robert
After The Walking Dead recap marathon ( why oh why did I think I needed to rewatch all those emotionally traumatic episodes before tomorrow?!) I needed some viewing that wasn’t going to give me a frozen shoulder so popped on Ep 2 of Divorce. Now, there’s a lot of things I could talk about in… Continue Reading →

The Wrong Girl is the Right TV Drama
It’s been heedless of me to not talk about our own home grown Australian Drama on my blog. The landscape is very different here with limited networks so we don’t have the volume to comment on and since we are only a few eps in I won’t prattle on too long. I thought I would… Continue Reading →

“I’m not your adventure”
WOW. Perhaps the most powerful words on TV this year. (….no surprises it’s from Transparent.) I was feeling a bit annoyed after watching the second presidential debate and having Trump’s comments of “they’re just words” looping through my head. I have always struggled when people dismiss words and stress that actions are more important. As… Continue Reading →

Wondrous Westworld
I was bursting for Westworld to start . I am certain I drove most of my closest circle crazy in the lead up to the air date. I am still hoping my parents will watch it after I broke them down and they watched The Night Of AND OBVIOUSLY they liked it – I mean,… Continue Reading →

It’s “Easy” to watch…
After a disastrous date day with myself (yes, that’s a thing….someone has to do it so it may as well be me) where I tried to watch a movie but had a couple commentating the entire way through, I decided to swing into the supermarket get some emotional eating/drinking supplies, head home and see what… Continue Reading →
