Greatest Heist of all Time.
The story of how the Turin School mob stole £100M of diamonds from the Antwerp vault. Superb. Netflix.

Murder by Text or something on C4. The story of how Encrochat was brought down. Very good.

I watched that murder by text thing, I think its called Dark Phone, and thought it was decent overall.
Mu biggest criticism is what seems to happen with any program like this in that after every Commercial break and the start if every episode they spend ages going back over stuff that they have already covered so you actually don't get as much programme as you expect.
I know why they do it, its to bring the "Casual Viewer" up to speed so they can follow on even if they haven't seen the proceeding part or episode but its massively frustrating for those that watch the whole thing and are able to retain information to a reasonable level.
It happens more and more these days and I hate it!

On a similar note, it’s now increasingly common to start a clip (YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels etc.) with a five second highlight / joke which is then repeated later on in the clip. I wouldn’t mind, but these clips are only about 30 seconds long as it is, why do we need to see the same part twice? It’s usually done with a seamless edit as well so you don’t necessarily expect to hear the same part again so soon after. It’s one of the many irritating things you see online nowadays.

Bookish - crime drama written by Mark Gatiss. Set in the early years following WW2. Enjoyed this. There’s hints of Sherlock Holmes about it and the supporting characters are great. Worth another series. 7.3/10
U and Alibi

The Moors Murders - a search for justice. Couple of retired plod discover a garage full of research material in the garage of Ian Brady’s biographer, including the first half of a book written by Brady that supposedly reveals where Keith Bennett is buried. The second half of the book is possibly in the possession of Liverpool based solicitor Robin Makin, along with other items left by Brady. Interesting and frustrating, but worth watching.

Only The River Flows - Chinese noir about a 1990s detective trying to solve some small town murders. I was expecting a straight bat whodunnit thriller but it turned out to be more of an ambiguous existential crisis caper, quite spooky in places. Beautifully filmed in 16mm, it looks amazing but fell a bit short in places. 3/5

Transit - German language (with lots of French as well) adaptation of a WWII novel set during an ambiguous present day invasion of France. Set mainly in Marseille (with a little bit in Paris), it follows Georg (excellently played by Franz Rogowski) who assumes the identity of a dead writer to gain transit papers to escape the oncoming invasion. He immerses himself in the refugee community whilst he waits on the bureaucratic process. A bit of a marmite film this one I reckon, but I thought it was really ambitious and enjoyable despite a couple of (I suspect deliberate) plot holes. 4/5

Flow - independent animation that follows a cat through a cataclysmic extinction event where waters rise uncontrollably. The cat has to form unlikely alliances with other animals to survive. No script, only (real) animal noises throughout. Sounds weird but this is one of the best things I've seen in ages - it looks beautiful and it gripped me from the first minute. Get it watched if you can. 4.5/5.

Welcome to Wrexham - flew through the latest series. Tried and tested format but still works very well and they do an excellent job with it. Improved by focusing a bit less on player personal lives and for being fewer episodes than the earlier series.

Quarterback - Netflix documentary following Joe Burrow, Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins through the 2024 season. Very formulaic and not helped by three relatively vanilla (but very nice and professional) lads, with only Cousins being interesting in a wild-eyed god-bothering serial killer sort of way.

The golf - Fleetwood being a blue just sums the lad up. His putt on 17 has to be one of the worst I've ever seen, proper headloss again. Rose being an iron willed maniac on the other hand - fantastic.

Factotum - Firestick

Early 2000’s film (and book?) with Matt Dillon as an alcoholic writer bouncing from one rubbish job to another. Nothing really happens but I enjoyed it the first time I watched way back when and was quite suprised to find it on the stick - 8/10

The Ballad of Wallis Island (Snide) - entertaining enough Brit-com. Some really hilarious bits interspersed with some sub-BBC3 quality writing. Controversially, I'm not sure Tim Key is actually any good in it 7/10

The Bear (Snide) - the wedding episode was a classic but not sure overall it was such a massive step-up from S3 as people said, but I do still enjoy it a lot. It does need tying up and finishing though I reckon, perhaps S5 will be the last if it happens, I'm sure they are all busy in Hollywood anyway 8/10

Jaws @50 - the definitive inside story (Snide/Disney I think) - great watch this, really illuminating and entertaining. Always fascinating how great art can almost happen by accident, with circumstances almost forcing decision and flying by the seat of your pants. Spielberg is good value and interesting how much stress he was under and had almost PTSD for years after. Not unlike your favourite bands who spat out a masterpiece in a month when they started and were never really able to repeat it when genuinely trying, it's fairly arguable he's never done anything as good (albeit loads of good stuff so the music analogy doesn't quite stretch) 9/10

I was pleasantly surprised with this, felt like it was a Jurassic spark film not Jurassic world, with some good call backs to the original.

It lacks any sort of tension building, but I guess that’s what makes Spielberg so good. The scene with the T Rex and the boat for instance, pretty good but when compared to the first T Rex attack in Jurassic Park its miles away.
