also itās genuinely a miracle that Iāve found a TV show so compelling and attention grabbing because I have not finished a modern show in forever, my attention span for some reason will not allow me to finish a whole show, even succession which I loved.
but Iām yet to watch the final season and I have binged this in the matter of about a week so far and Iām loving it. plays out like a crime paperback that you canāt put down, even if the writing and pacing can be a bit clunky, I literally donāt care, the writing and performances always have me hooked.
NOW I WANNA WATCH MORE TV- Iāve barely watched any classic shows especially from the 2000s HBO era so please give me recommendations that are as investing as this please!

okay okay i have many recs depending on what u want to watch next.
thriller/short series: mindhunter on netflix. INSANEEEE, perfectly shot and well acted. real interviews and lines from those interviews were used in this show, and itās just an utterly fascinating look into the FBI and the term āserial killerā in the 70s.
growing up/comedy: GIRLS. look, i know lena dunham is a controversial figure, but she managed to create something that perfect encapsulates what itās like to be going through your 20ās. sad, hysterical, and real.
just insane: the rehearsal. if you havenāt yet acquainted yourself with the world of nathan fielder: please do so. it will change your life. cringe comedy on a whole other level, and this recent season of the rehearsal is possibly the best season of television i have ever seen.
light/mystery/drama: big little lies. a classic, layered with drama, scandals, and surprisingly good writing, cinematography, and plot twists.

Been a very slow year with not much acting work at all but, last year I managed to get a line of dialogue in the last season of house of the dragon, and also filmed two seasons of a kids show for the BBC.
Iām happy I stuck with this wish, even if itās painful to continue pursuing it sometimes :)

every time I give this a relisten Iām always shocked by how consistently great it is as an album. Obviously, āThe Idiotā gets a tonne of praise and deservedly so, and even though this album helms a lot of Iggy Popās most popular singles, I never see people talking about it as an album and what it does brilliantly.
even with āThe Idiotā, Iggy Pop was very much performing under David Bowie wing and environment- a lot of dark and brooding electronics and atmosphere which complimented Iggy well but, here he is definitively Iggy Pop.
I think people forget that āpunkā music (which Iggy hated the label of) doesnāt necessarily fall into a genre, more so an attitude of performance. This is proved time and time again in this album, as Iggy covers styles of hard rock, blues rock, ballads and soul- all unmistakably polished with a punk edge.
Punk isnāt the music you play, just how you play it (at least I think so), and itās so obvious that Iggy and the band just had a blast recording and performing this, they donāt take themselves seriously, if anything, poking fun at the restrictions of rock and pop songwriting in the process. Yet, the album never feels like itās smarter than you, itās inviting you in to feel the excitement.
Such a blast of a record, if you need a pick-me-up like I did today, give this a whirl!

I didnāt know how to kiss normally. She went in with a French kiss, an ungodly amount of tongue but, I can now tell we were both very nervous and didn't know properly what to do.
We were in a cinema and her mates were sat a few rows away but kept looking over to see if we were kissing yet.
Coincidentally, we were watching Fast & Furious 7 just after Paul walker had passed- she went to kiss me at the final farewell scene and I genuinely told her to stop & have some respect LMAOOOOOO.
I was an awkward kid man, bless her.
