Silent Witness. Oh my word! Started about nine months ago, with season 24, filmed in 2021. Now about to start watching S 28, released in first few months this year. A new season is also in the works.
It's damn good, but I intersperse something else, currently Ridley (5/5, PBS Passport) as I have a limit on how my autopsies I can stomach. My GF could binge watch all 200++ episodes. She 5/5, me 4.5/5, BritBox.

Great show. Season 4 is currently in production. Looking forward to it.
On November 14 "THE DAY OF THE JACKAL" will premier. I've already seen the first 5 episodes and can recommend it. I give it a 4 out of 5. 
Rewatching "An Evening With Ray Bradbury" on YouTube. In it Mr. Bradbury addresses a group of aspiring writhers at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, California. He was 80-years-old at the time and he spoke for almost an hour - without notes. The inspiring thing is that the passion that drove this man throughout his writing life was still there and burning brightly for all to see and to light their own candles from.
I rate this a solid six in my book!

It must have already been released on Sky in Europe?
Just finished bingeing Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix again. Netflix has brought some excellent anime (and some not so excellent) to their service. Some of my favorites are Castlevania (boy, did I like that one a lot more than I expected to) and Arcane.
BES is a standout, even in that company. If you like anime, this is the best there is. If you don’t this may change your mind. NSFK. 5/5

Last night I watched 1984 on DVD, the first time I've seen this version since it was released.
Starring John Hurt & Richard Burton (just months afore his death) I wasn't overly impressed. The book was far more revealing though Suzanna Hamilton as John Hurt's love interest Julia was pretty revealing albeit in a different way
2.5/5 from this occasional film watcher.

JFK X: Solving the Crime of the Century
Anyone interested in this subject should take a look. Unlike other documentaries this one looks at the assassination completely differently. I can't say I accept or don't accept everything in the film, but I can say I was not bored.

I read the book a few years agio, and I enjoyed it. And, although the series did not stay true to the book, it is a very good series. Gentleman in Moscow, Paramount+, 4.5/5 stars.
McGreggor is doing a very good job in this role. Highly recommended.

We just saw Gladiator 2, and it was… just OK. A fan of the first one, but as most sequels go, this was not nearly as good. Long (2hrs 45mins), but it was entertaining. 3-5
