I've watched a tonne of Bluey and honestly it's made me cry at least 3 times, didn't think it was possible to be so proud of a cartoon puppy that I balled my eyes out like a baby but I think parents have severely underplayed just how good the show is

The wee man loves the intro song mostly cause I dance around like a goof for him but as soon as he falls asleep I'm locked into it

Just seen the trailer for Daredevil Born Again. I still think this is the best "hero" TV show there has been, it had shade throughout which was fantastic. This follow on looks to follow suit.

The only Marvel show I've been interested in seeing since Endgame

It's worth watching but after that it all goes to pot for me. They did the same thing that Flash/Heroes of Tomorrow/etc all did. Far too much of an explosion of things to watch, far too many threads that they expect you to follow and interlink for every easter egg going forward. They're churned out, low concentration, poor writing drivel.

Daredevil piqued my interest in the first or second episode with one particular kidnap scene. It set the tone for me for the whole show, it was more real than any other hero/anti-hero storyline I had ever seen.

Daredevil, Punisher & Jessica Jones Season 1 are some of the best stuff Marvel has produced period

I'd strongly recommend checking out all three to be honest, just great shows

If anyone has got HBO Max, I'd highly recommend The Pitt with Noah Wyle:

www.imdb.com

The Pitt (TV Series 2025– ) ⭐ 8.4 | Drama

50m | TV-MA
www.imdb.com www.imdb.com

It was originally conceived as a follow on to E.R. with Noah reprising hiw role as Carter but they couldn't get an agreement with the Michael Crichton estate so they had to pivot slightly. It still has an E.R. vibe to it though

Now I've only just started this, but the start of it has been quite appealing and whet my appetite

Zero Day - Robert DeNiro starring, on Netflix

If you watched that recent "Leave the World Behind" with Julia Roberts that was a fairly modern take on the US getting wiped out, this is a similar premise, but more in depth and earlier on before the bombs hit. It's all about a major hacking effort by hostile nations to bring down the US internally but from the perspective of government investigators. It's quite fitting with current goings on, and if you've kept up with Bob, he's been fairly outspoken about US politics since 2016, very rightfully too imho.

I have no idea which way it's gonna go, but it does look quite interesting.

It's got majorly polarised reviews from some slating it to others praising it. I never really care for critics views, more about viewers opinions, but I'll leave it up to you to decide. I'm a huge fan of Robert DeNiro though, so that's swung it for me

Zero Day review – De Niro’s cyberhacking thriller is an astonishing amount of fun

The actor is on fine form in his first major TV role – as an ex-president trying to track down the source of a digital terrorist attack. Was it rogue hacktivists? The Russians? It’s preposterously entertaining either way

Zero Day – the show that finally got Robert De Niro to try his hand at American TV – is a mix of Mr. Robot and other political thrillers, only stupider.

I can't stop thinking about Robert De Niro's divisive new Netflix series Zero Day

This political thriller has me on the fence

My Da was just telling me yesterday he binge watched the whole thing over two days and thought it was fantastic. My Da doesn't binge watch anything so that's enough for me to add it to my list

Watched Civil War on Saturday night, thought it was excellent if you're looking for something for the brain to chew on a bit.
