    Finished Fallout. Was well-produced indeed but didn't grab me as much as I'd hoped it would.

    Probably go through the chore of finishing last season of Westworld next, only because I've invested time up to now. Want something a bit sci-fi like the Expanse to get into next. Or something like Dark/1899/Fringe/Foundation. Maybe crack on with Silo.

    When I first heard she was involved I had the horror thought, after Indiana Jones, that she had the part.

    Never seen any of the stuff she's written.... Hang on I have, Killing Eve.

    I shall withold judgement then so long as they keep Lara true to character and not good looking-shame actresses deemed too attractive for the role.

    Watching The Thick of It on the iPlayer. Never watched it before, seems rather appropriate to these times. We both like satire and dark comedy but, just never got around to it before.

    Without getting into politics (wrong place for another one of my “woke” rants :grin:), the irony is that The Thick of It feels quaint these days.

    Too short of a run for my book.
    Just watched the last episode, far too saccharine an ending, but overall an enjoyable series.

    Just finished watching Fallout, it was decent. I'd not watched a TV series in ages (years?) but I thought I'd give it a go, I got five minutes into the first episode and had to turn it off as I figured Laura would want to watch something with Walton Goggins in it. Seems she enjoyed it too but in a different way.

    Ads, on amazon prime.
    First time they've appeared. Had 3+mins worth of ads in a single episode of Invincible, yet none during Expend4bles. Why am i paying foir ads?

    Because they want you to pay more for no ads. But no ads was the default, so they added ads so they could remove the ads they added in exchange for you paying more.

    Progress.

    I haven't watched a thing on Amazon Prime Video since they introduced 'em. It's only three quid a month more or so, but it's the principle of the matter.

    I suppose Jeff didn't like the idea of putting prices up first, then introducing a cheaper (at the original price!) ad-supported tier a few months later. <shrug>

    Weirdly, the only option to get rid of adds is monthly, there isnt a annual rate...

    EDIT - i think what annoyed me most about the ads, is not that they exist, but that they were just thrown randomly into the episode. If it was 2 or 3 adds prior to the episode/film then fine, but dont break the flow...

    I get a popup for 15s every half hour or so. Not a problem at all. Maybe it depends what you're watching?

    They're not even placed at points designed for ad breaks (on US shows)!

    We've been watching Killing Eve. Season 3 onward has been a slog, 2 more episodes and we're done though.
