TV Series

Just caught up on stranger things series 5. Not really following where they are going with the final series but I suppose they have 2 hours to wrap it up.

It's kind of going the same way as the final series of quite a lot of big shows. It's been OK and definitely hasn't been bad, but I don't think it has been great either. I dont think they've ever quite got back to the standard of the first series.
I’ve really enjoyed this season. But maybe that partly because it’s been so long since season 4.

Do feel some elements of this series have been rushed though and didn’t always necessarily fit with what’s going on in the episode. And there’s been a lot of exposition to try and fill gaps.
 
Titanic sinks tonight. BBC2.

Half way through, and despite some significant historical inaccuracies it's a show that doesn't know what it is. Part documentary, part drama, part talking head critique, part dream. Titanic had 3 working stacks but 4 stacks total, one was a fake used for ventilation. This show appears to have all four working at some point then chopping and changing between which are and are not. The bins, the telecommunications, the decision to glance the berg instead of a square hit, the overlooked ice field decision, and then the big one - position. Titanic broadcast a false position when sinking, but carpathia and californian couldn't both make the same mistake. This detail hid the wreck for 70 years.

I think it's struggling with a bloated cast at this point. There's so many characters that all have to be updated and kept busy that it just bogs everything down. Off the top of my head you could cut out 4 of the group and it wouldn't make any real difference, they are just hovering around for no reason at this point.

Yeah they could have killed off half of these extra characters for a bit of tension going into the last episode.
