it has some twists and turns. i'm surprised this woman's story is not more well known.

I don't normally like spy stuff, probably because I live with someone who is a walking fucking encyclopaedia on the subject and watches literally everything and anything espionage related. However he's got hold of the first two series of a spy drama called Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman and it's actually really good. If you like British spy shizz then this one is definitely worth a look.

^^^^ i loooove slow horses. i'm all caught up and waiting for the new season. so good. i love espionnage stuff but i'm fairly picky. not everything out there is good. i'm sure bloke's seen it but if he hasn't already subjected you to it, check out tinker tailor soldier spy. also has gary oldman in it, albeit in a completely different type of role. and colin firth, and cumberbatch, and tom hardy.

Seen it? SEEN IT??? I think Bloke could recite every fucking line from the 2011 film AND the 1979 Alec Guinness television series! I politely excuse myself any time someone mentions the Oldman version because, as much as he enjoyed it, it starts him on a ten minute diatribe about what was wrong with it compared to the Guinness version/the books. I refuse point blank to watch the cursed film! He's something of a massive le Carre fan, to the point where the pile of his books on the bedside table (along with books about the KGB, GCHQ, George Blake and Kim Philby) is in constant danger of toppling over and crushing him in the night.

Haha! I have a copy of spycatcher somewhere from the one day it was on sale before it was banned. The most boring book ever!

Yeah, we've got a copy somewhere too, and he's actually read it multiple times. And Stella Rimmington's autobiography and God knows how many books about the Cambridge spy ring in general and Kim Philby in particular and an old Russian stamp celebrating Kim Philby and some more books about the NSA/CIA and the British intelligence operations in Northern Ireland and now I'm being irritated by daily anchor sized hints about John le Carre's son publishing a George Smiley book that he completed from his father's notes that just so happens to be being released around Bloke's birthday. Yes, he likes spies. A lot. I do not like spies. At all.

Not watching it yet, but HBO finally has Furiosa, and I have my week end watch planned <3 I missed it in the cinema I'm pretty bummed about it because it feels like the kind of film you want to see on a massive screen

The Decameron, on netflix. A comedy about a group of people trying to escape the black death/bubonic plague in a villa, set in medieval Italy. Fucking hilarious, highly recommend. silly, irreverent, and very horny. awesome cast, very weird and unlike pretty much anything out there.

I tried watching that (*The Decameron) but I couldn't get into it after 15 min so gave up.
I am still stuck in the loop of rewatching things I know I've enjoyed before. Monk and murder documentaries, mostly. I don't know why I don't have the bandwidth for new things.

I've also just started it and I love it - mostly because I'm so happy to see actresses from Derry Girls and Sex education again. It has the silly vibe I also liked from My Lady Jane, but way more irreverent beeyotch yeah, agree with Kitty, sometimes you just need to comfort watch something you know you like, and you know makes you happy. I have a bunch of series and films I constantly put back on when I don't know what to watch and don't feel like I'm in the mood for anything new (I generally have a hard time giving a go at new things - series and music - because ... I dont quite know XD)
