I must be getting old. I found this over the top and very unrealistic. But then I enjoyed David Craig in the 007 series. Inconsistency may also be a trait of getting older.

Been catching a few of the old Jeremy Brett series lately.
4/5…..should be 5/5 really but have to deduct a point for Jeremy’s campness.

We watched over Christmas - I agree, took kind of the parlour mystery of the first installment in a sort of haphazard and too "mod" direction for all of us.
That's what I love about his portrayal! Different strokes!
I'm a huge Rathbone fan, but the settings for his (out of the actual era) presented different challenges, although I still think his portrayal as my favorite, I wish the settings had been more to the times of the series, and really enjoy Brett's performances and the sets.
I listened to a couple of the radio plays this weekend and was a little disappointed. Nigel Bruce seems to come across more matter of fact and reading vs. the animation and excitement of his film performances. But small sample.
Are they the one’s where Nigel Bruce stops halfway through the show to promote ‘Petri‘s Wines?’ Great fun! Lol
If you get chance, you should try & listen to old Johnny Gielgud & Ralph Richardson (as Holmes & Watson). From the 50’s I think they were.
My wife and I watched all of the old Inspector Morse episodes from the 80' and 90's. A little dated but they were worth watching - at least the majority were. I'd rate them a 3 out of 5.
Also just finished the first season of Tulsa King. Actually pretty good with Sylvester Stallone really making it worthwhile. He's a mafioso who's exiled from NYC to Tulsa OK. Maybe a 4/5?

Yep, there's a reason it's been on for over 20 years.
Watched the latest Jurassic Park debacle last night called Dominion. Kudos to the graphic artist but the script and acting was like I was watching a walk through for the movie. At times it felt like we were watching a colorized version of the old Japanese Godzilla moves, you know the ones with the awful translations. I have no idea why Jeff Goldblum still thinks he can act if he ever could in my opinion well maybe except for The Fly. If the producers had the balls they would have made it into a R rated movie, it would have been at least a little more believable. I loved the original JP but since then not so much. 2 out of 5 on Prime.

The Chosen, seasons 1 & 2. First rate. 5 of 5 stars (or crosses, if you like). Looking forward to season 3.
I started watching Vikings. It’s been on my radar for a while. Pretty good so far. 4 of 5 from me.
Currently binging on His Dark Materials, based on the books by Philip Pullman. In some ways it is very reminiscent of a dozen other fantasy worlds, but some differences keep it interesting. I'm enjoying the series very much, even with the repeating sense of deja vu. Beautifully presented. 4 out of 5.
I really need to consider getting Britbox.
I didn’t know this was a remake. It was as well written but wasn’t too into it. There were some funny scenes in it though.
