Best Lines:
“I haven’t had my muffin yet Matt!”
“Sorry I killed your son.”
“Kylo Ren’s a punk bitch. That guy looks like he weights 30 pounds soaking wet underneath that little black dress.”
“Matt straight up sucks.”

I will review ‘Outcast’ season 1, ‘Bold’ and ‘The Shadwell Shadows’.
I won’t bother with Robert Ryan’s books or ‘The Demonologist’, ‘The High Ground’, ‘Wrath’, ‘Billions’, ‘Bloodline’ or that ‘The Flash’ novel.
I won’t review ‘Blindspot’ 2x05 ‘Condone Untidiest Thefts’.
So Adrian Zmed isn’t dead.
Anyone see the 1994 ‘Death And The Maiden’?
Anyone ever seen ‘Santa Sangre’?
I didn’t know there was a ‘Lost Boys’ comic.

On ‘Hollyoaks’: Alfie steals booze. Neeta dresses like a stripper for her job interview. She’s curiously passive. Ellie is not a striking presence. There is no family dispute resolution. This desimulates. One is dissatisfied already. Sally is white noise in human form. Ellie is arrested for punching Nick and she is driven to desperate ends. She has no moral argument. Tegan sniffs around. Goldie’s twins are louts. Mac and Marnie mock Neeta Alfie needs endless attention. Falsehoods are peddled. Alfie whines.
Tegan refers to Ziggy as her fella, ignoring how she stole him from Leela. Tegan calls Ellie a tart. Ellie mistook Nick's intentions. She has no consistency and is under sustained pressure. She’s a bit too exciting for her own good. OB bothers Grace and Grace has fish wallpaper - big fat goldfish. Eva is dodgy. People live their lives with the dial permanently cranked up to 11. Freddie shows up. A horrible family confrontation does not erupt. Where is DS Thorpe?
Lisa boned Mac. Are there Xmas bells in the theme song? People dodge problems. I shed few tears for Ellie. I am honorbound to detest this. Freddie is totally oblivious to sense. This was not uncompromisingly realistic. And this was not a hilariously through analysis of Chester folk. Sienna plots. Nathan roars and Marnie preens. Alfie annoys, Nick preens and this was not hugely moving.
More hideous wallpaper is shown. Sienna looks through Theresa’s old things. Myra is still pregnant. James comforts Ellie. Warren has bad grammar. Lisa makes out with Mac. Ellie wasn’t around Marnie for years. Ellie whines. Warren lurks. How did Lisa get into a locked apartment? Mac throws Marnie out and all her belongings fit in one bin bag. Mac’s eye is free to wander. Who is paying the bills for the Roscoe house?

“Ex-gangster boyfriend.”
“Thank you for the visuals.”
“Some kind of family drama.”
